Reply to comment by [deleted] in Can You Cavitate Radiation Away? by chriswhoppers
Cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs in masses of liquids (property of mass/matter). Liquids turn into gas at certain combinations of temperature and pressure, so at a certain temperature if pressure drops (e.g. due to fluid motion), vapor will form. Radiation (generically) is related to energy (it does propagate in the vacuum), thus it cannot "cavitate".
