  • The word thermostat comes from the Greek “thermos” (heat) and “status” (standing or stationary), which translated loosely means “keep heat at a steady level.”

    The thermostat’s actual function is to turn on the compressor when the ambient air temperature is higher than the set temperature of the unit. So it’s more about keeping things stable, not a demand of temperature. Amazing how quickly you went to block someone for pointing out something different than you (and correctly so). Does this point out insecurity on their end or yours?

    edit: source of info.





  • I see what you’re saying. But I also think the comment chain is speaking to the limits of our knowledge. The “limits that physics imposes on technology” is only based on what human beings have figured out through our limits of testing the rules of existence. What we can’t test, we have never been able to prove. And some things we may never be able to test or prove (such as Dark Matter).

    It’s easy to say there isn’t evidence of something, just as easy as it is to say that it’s because it’s past our limit/ability to test those things right now.
