"causes heat"
Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature differential. I think you may want to review the highschool physics textbook.
Sigh... I'm not giving a physics lecture. Just speaking casually. The neutron energy imparts kinetic energy to particles which can be harvested in a well engineered system
no, that is work.
you may want to review the second law of thermodynamics
I never took high school physics so I asked my best friend what you're talking about and he (ChatGPT) said
> CtrlAltmanDel nitpicks anon291’s use of "causes heat," arguing that heat is energy transfer due to temperature differences. This critique feels overly pedantic, as "heat" is commonly used to describe energy released in fusion (even if "thermal energy" might be more precise).
I don't know if I should trust the machine god or the snarky commenter with a vapid one liner here. You're both very confident.
Even under your pedantic definition, the above commentator is still correct
