    Is there any evidence to show that Pushing something, warms it? Surely, if you Push something, and keep pushing, isn't there going to be some Compression, and some Compaction as well as Filling it with Potential Energy? Are these not warming effects?

    And if you Pull something, and keep pulling, isn't it possible you might pull it apart, or Decompress it and Expand it? Wouldn't this lead to Cooling?

    There must be an answer, either yes or no, So can anyone Help?

    I love the thought! Can we be absolutely sure that pulling always leads to decompression? At the same time, I'm not convinced that pushing would always lead to warming effects (theoretically, it should, but I need to give it more thought!). If true, my guess is that high-rise building or any construction would be a source of heat.

    Well thank you, MrK - okay if I call you that?
    I guess I forgot to say that we're talking 4D here, so that means there is Time involved and so we can have Speed. Can we assume, for example , that everything is happening at a certain Speed?

    If your apartment building was lowered into position at a certain Speed, then I imagine there would be some compression, and I'm sure there would have been some warming.

    I didn't say, either, that when I said 'Push Something,' I really meant 'Against the force of Gravity,' in other words, I suppose, if you're lifting it. For 'Something' I should have said, 'a System.'

    You ask whether it's true that every time we pull something (and keep pulling) there is going to be stretching going on, and ergo some expansion. We're including 'in Space also' are we not?

    I think it's just as true as saying when you Push a System and keep pushing, you're going to make that system smaller. I think somewhere there's going to be some compression going on. And ergo some warming.

    But thank you, for replying to my thread. You are the first. I'm encouraged!:smile:
