We are called the Water World but we really should be called the Fire World. As far as we know, earth is the only place in the universe with fire. It has yet to be observed anywhere else.

They can also see that this is a retarded post from the start with the answer being self evident and not even needing to be asked. But look at all the pseudo intellectuals arguing over something we already have the facts on. Anyone who can navigate a simple thought process can see and here is the truth that maybe a siple google search could have led you too

In a flame, ionization of the air atoms occurs because the temperature is high enough to cause the atoms to knock into each other and rip off electrons. Therefore, in a flame, the amount of ionization depends on the temperature. (Other mechanisms can lead to ionization. For instance, in lightning, strong electric currents cause the ionization. In the ionosphere, sunlight causes the ionization.) The bottom line is that a flame only becomes a plasma if it gets hot enough. Flames at lower temperatures do not contain enough ionization to become a plasma. On the other hand, a higher-temperature flame does indeed contain enough freed electrons and ions to act as a plasma.

So blow that plasma out your arse mate.

Everyone follow this guy to get updates on ghostbusters cuz obviously we all need that “retarded” shit. Clearly he has a lot of interesting things to say and post. Like I went through this profile and like... it was a profile.
