I present the Macro Wave!
These are all word for word the same answers to the not poop for 3 days quest.
Cold doesn't exist, it is merely the absence of heat. Easier to insert heat than remove it, same reason why you can put on warmer clothes in the winter, but you can't make yourself cold in the summer.
'projecting' energy is kinda easy... 'sucking' energy is difficult
Fridge, well. But now I'm wondering if that would be possible with electromagnetic radiation somehow. Would it be possible to direct infrared waves away from a closed chamber, making the inside cooler? Like a semipermeable membrane in shoes with water vapor?
I don’t know if it’s a stupid question or not but I have been wondering this myself for years. :)
The reverse microwave. I heard you need a LOT of freon.

Removing heat energy is what your freezer does, by transferring it outside of the freezer box.
You can’t just remove heat by adding electromagnetic energy. Absorbing energy from the electromagnetic radiation makes heat.
Edit: whelp, TIL
The magnetocaloric effect can do this. Instead of the target absorbing energy, the magnet does. The magnet heats up and the target cools.
Yeah there are those machines that like instantly cool your soda can or make ice cream instantly supposedly. They just bathe it in ice and salt water for some time basically
i would think not. unless waves can be tuned to cancel out background radiation, but that would only stop it from heating up more.
I've been wondering this for my entire life
