So I want to understand why exactly our bodies say the outside cold hurts and why the hot temperatures feel nice up to an extent then it hurts but also just feels more uncomfortable. I understand the direct touch aspect but not ambient.
So I understand the evolutionary need for it but I want to know the science. What is going on in your body that makes the cold hurt
In: Chemistry
Ambient temperature is just air directly touching you. There is no difference in what you label “direct touch” and “ambient”.
Thus if you understand that directly touching something hot or cold hurts it should make sense that ambient temperature should also be able to hurt, because there is literally no difference in how you perceive that.
