    EDIT: Oh you mean sunlight? Yeah... but no one made the claim that EM can't cause heat (photons striking the surface of the Earth and raising its temperature) but that electromagnetic fields won't stop/shield from heat.

    I've already stated that magnetism cannot directly affect pure heat. It can, however, affect heat sources.

  2. Heat has nothing to do with electricity or magnetism... And yet heat carried through electromagnetism is why life on Earth exists, and by extension, why you're able to tell me here and now that they have nothing to do with each other. It's just a little ironic. Heat can be transported by radiation, and the magnetism can deflect/repell radiation, and therefore, heat.

     

    But you are right in that magnetism can't contain pure, raw heat. However, the fact that magnetism can affect sources that generate heat means you're right on a technicality.

  3. Just because the limits of today's technology can heat plasma that hot, how do you know lightsabers can? That's a logical misstep.

    I don't know, I'm assuming that because Star Wars Universe technology has been shown to be superior to our technology, that their technology can exceed the limits of relatively simple Earth tech. While I'm aware that assumptions by their very nature can backfire, it's hardly a logical misstep on my part to go with a sensible standpoint.

     

    Human Torch is a man. He can be hotter than a lightsaber. So much for no man made heat being as hot.

    The Human Torch may or may not be hotter than a lightsaber. I haven't seen anything in this thread to convince me that Storm is for certain.

  4. I recently picked up Star Wars the Force unleashed 2 for $11. Only played the first mission so far but I enjoy throwing storm troopers around.

     

    Starkiller dies again.

     

     

    If I were you, I'd resist this particular temptation!

  5. None of them make sense anyway, since even if some magneticblahblahblah shield is keeping the plasma in a blade shape a magnetic field wouldn't keep the plasma from frying everyone trying to wield the blade. Magnetic fields wouldn't deflect temperature away or anything silly like that.

     

    Actually, a magnetic field could do exactly that. You're saying it's silly, but our planet's magnetosphere is the only thing protecting us from the brunt of coronal mass ejections and solar flares, which are essentially blasts of plasma hurtling through space thanks to the sun. It really dpends on how strong that magnetism is in proportion to the amount/intensity of plasma being contained. Furthermore, magnetism is the force that prevents people from walking through walls and falling through floors. It's pretty concievable to imagine that they could have an effect on plasma, at least in some way.
