Re: Molten Metal

I think its real. When you have worked in a place like that for 20 years you learn things instinctively.

it would have been easy for them to experiment, taking a metal rod and hitting the hot flow, and seeing if got warm to the touch.

Heat cannot transfer instantiously, there must be sufficient contact time for the energy to transfer from one material (the molten metal) to the other (flesh).

That being said, I would never try it. Maybe after working with the stuff for 20 years?
