Fire isnt real

It's because fire produces light

It's because the fire is the source of light

I understand why fire doesn't cast a shadow but this picture still trips me out.

My friend told me about this a few weeks ago. I can't wait to try it... for photography reasons, of course. :D

This is fake. The light from the match would have obscured part of the match's shadow.

more like...until you didnt see it

Fire is a plasma, not a solid. Of course it won't make a shadow like the match and fingers. Think more along the lines of shining a light through a thin bit of liquid or gas. There may be a slight distortion, but barely visible.

I honestly can't believe people are impressed by this. Light sources don't have a shadow, especially ones that aren't even a solid matter

Light sources can be opaque and therefore cast shadows if there's a significantly brighter light source behind. Fire being a plasma, it's actually quite good at conducting electricity and therefore attenuating the light that tries to go through it: fire absorbs light. If it absorbs more than it emits, you'll see a shadow. It's basic radiative transfer. Let Lb be the background irradiance, Lf that of the fire and A the absorption coefficient of the flame; without flame you see Lb, with flame you see (1-A)Lb+Lf, which can be lower than Lb and therefore appear as a shadow.

I think the reason why you cannot see the shadow is because fire is energy, energy doesn't have a shadow, like kinetic or potential energy.

It's a vampire!

No this is most definately fake. The light from the flame would have prevented a portion of the match from having a shadow

There would be no shadow, the light would have obscured part of the shadow... fake.

Fire is a gas
