well i know that halacha tells us what chometz is, my question is there a way to prove something is chometz through science? what is the chemical reaction that creates chometz? this could be a big money maker as i could sell every jewish home a chometz checker which you can use to simply scan your home for hidden traces of the stuff
and while were at it why not have a lightsaber battle as we fire up our hyperdrives and hurtle through space and time
Bah. Who wants a hyperdrive when you can have a warp drive?
Yeah, the scientific definition is when it turns white or forms cracks.
Keep in mind that if you do invent such a thing, in ten years they will say that everyone is mechuyav to have it.
The question is, if I make a chemical that will reverse the oxidation would that be valid Lehalacha?
I don’t think halacha would rely on such a definition, which would be a humrah. It would tend to pasul everything.
Actually, the Poskim debate whether flour mixed with pure juice and baking soda is a problem. It rises but is not fermentation.
