Question

Temperature: Put some hot water, warm water, and cold water in three bowls. Just use water from your faucet, and please be sure that the hot water is not too hot to touch! Place a finger in the hot water and a finger of the other hand in the cold water. After a few seconds, place them both in the warm water. Describe the sensations. Can you trust your senses for measuring temperature

Answer 1

Answer: What an interesting experiment.

Placing my hands individually on the cold and hot water, waited for a few seconds then feeling it into the warm water, this is what I felt.

The hand that was in the COLD water felt HOT in the WARM water.

While the hand in the HOT water felt COLD in the WARM water.

With this, I concluded that I CANNOT trust my senses for measuring temperature.

Because a neutral individual will feel the warm water as warm but my hands having previously been put under some conditions, felt different.
