Has anyone read Feynman Lectures in physics or the biography "Surely, you are joking Mr. Feynman"?

Well, if not you are missing out on some impressive wonders of the world. Feynman tells that when he lectured in Brazil people there didn't know physics. They regurgitated that knowledge but could not apply it.

There he mentions triboluminescence a phenomenon where sugar creates light while being fractured. It has its own science. Tribology. It happens when you stretch and break a material to a point where the chemical bonds break. It can be achieved by rubbing or scratching or whatever cool means you want.

It also can be seen as a natural phenomenon in biological tissues while chewing or during intercourse. [1]

Is different from a static discharge it seems. As it seems is mechanical or chemical in nature. When asymmetric material breaks it the liberated charges that reunite and ionize the surrounding air. Is not fully understood but is a phenomenon particularly stronger in crystals. Some people call it "cold light" because it happens in the absence of heat.[2]

The properties of crystals electrons and light are probably the door to quantum computation as I described in my previous post.

Just to show how cool is physics, as mentioned in my previous post, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov got a Nobel Physics award in 2010 for and an experiment involving scotch tape and a pencil. The wonders that an imaginative mind can find laying around have no limits

well, I wanted to write at least 3 articles posts today. I'm done.
