Reply to comment by CrustalTrudger in can gemstones be melted into a gradient? by Acceptable_Shift_247
what about melting the gem stones locally so it is molten only in part and then fusing them together
like a weld. when we want to combine pieces of metal we wouldn’t completely melt them for example
or melting them just above their respective rating points so they still have a high viscosity, limiting diffusion of the individual component elements into each other
or rephrased
what about a process where the components are not in a thermodynamic or kinetic equilibrium?

you might really want to and you might enjoy your time but you could still be really procrastinating some other thing you should do but don’t want to

yeah exactly and this good action might still be bad for you because you have another commitment.
for many people saying yes is a very tempting thing

what’s that got to do with it?
it’s not like only things with mass are physical things

that's not the question
the question is if the ripples itself are physical things at all. and of course they are

one nit pick
in the beginning you point out that particles are not physical things
i strongly disagree with that notion
what else but physical things could particles be?
change the word to solid things if you like but as it stands it is factually incorrect
