TurkishAirlines Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If photons are airborne particles, and all airborne particles should have a smell, photons should have a smell! Is there any way you can measure smell?
swansont Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 False premise. Not all airborne particles have a smell.
TurkishAirlines Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 well I guess you never can trust wikipedia!
studiot Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 1) Photons are not airborne particles. 2) I could not find the word smell anywhere on the Wikipedia page, obtained by typing in "airborne particles".
arc Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) But you may find "air borne particles" by typing "fart". Edited January 1, 2015 by arc
Sensei Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Smell has to warn living organism against dangerous molecules. It can't be triggered by the most common substances, because it would be useless feature. Brain/nervous system would be flood with data.
