What causes the plasma ignition? Or more specifically, where does the plasma come from?

where does the plasma come from?

A spark irradiated with microwaves can bring it up to the critical temperature...

That or aliens?

Go for it!
No guts, no glory.

Some grapes and a sharp knife, the microwave at work when no one is around ... Only needs a few seconds.

Now quit wasting your employers time and get back to work!

” Grapes act as spheres of water, which, due to their large index of refraction and small absorptivity, form leaky resonators at 2.4 GHz. “

... having a 2.4ghz network cellphone in your pocket close to your grape sized testicles; really frightening.

a simple model of absorption would be expected to yield a thermal pattern that is hotter near the surface, becoming less hot toward the center of the object as the microwave radiation is attenuated. The fact that water spheres of various sizes routinely yield the inverted pattern of a hot middle is thus evidence of optical resonance in isolated aqueous spheres
