  • Throwing untrained people out of a commercial airliner at high speed in the middle of a emergency is a good way to ensure no one survives. The equipment would add a significant amount of space, fuel and maintenance burden too, and require major compromises to the aircraft design itself. All to resolve a problem that effectively never happens.



  • That’s not how RF works. For one thing, microwaves run at 2.4GHz, which means they can’t “see” physical features smaller than a few centimeters (to greatly oversimplify what’s going on). The miniscule bubbles simply aren’t a big factor.

    Rather, what’s happening is that the ceramic (probably the glaze if we’re honest) has a higher cross section and/or lower specific heat than the food, especially when it’s frozen. It absorbs more energy and heats up faster.

    I would also expect far fewer and smaller bubbles with industrial slip casting (“pouring into a mold”) than manual production.
