do a calculation of the energy of halving the frequency!

thus:
CO2 is the most prominent gas that humans can effect, since
we can't really do much about water vapor, except on land. there is
actually (old) data from Shackleton et al, that a spike of CO2
*precedes*
the glacial phases (possibly because
glaciation requires moving tons of water).

welcome to the Anthropocene, and stop Waxman's capNtrade rip-off!
(a small tax would be better; as it is, it's just,
"let the arbitrageurs make as much moola as they can.")

thus:
Arctic ice is floating, so it is utterly ephemeral,
compared to Antarctic ice, and can't change sea-level;
just saying, it is bound to oscillate a lot more,
than the "dynamic stasis" of the piled-up ice
on that continent.

thus:
great analogy, "pencils bend into water,"

another thing that is said to be dimensionless, is pi radians,
but you had better specify!...
"dimensionless constants" are well & good, so long
as you *know* what units are actually involved with "c"'
(recall, this is Einstein's abbreviation of "celeras," or
some thing, which means "speed" in Latin), but
I'd hardly say that "c" is "dimensionless," even if
it is "one lightyear per year.... and "A" stood
for "arbeit" or work, as in "A=mcc;" he was not enough
of a schmuck to put his own initial into it, I guess.

When a photon interacts with a beam splitter the aether wave
associated with the photon passes through and is reflected by the beam
splitter. The photon 'particle' either passes through or is reflected
by the beam splitter.

When a photon interacts with a BBO crystal two down converted photons
are created.

You may be confusing a BBO crystal with a beam splitter.

The pressure exerted by the aether in nearby regions towards the
matter doing the displacing is described, weakly, as "space
effectively ‘flows’ towards matter".

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
Aether is displaced by matter.
Displacement creates pressure.
Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.

Time aether is in space aether.
From: mpc755 on
Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
I have named this material mæther.
Aether is displaced by matter.
Displacement creates pressure.
Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.

The pressure exerted by the æther in nearby regions towards the matter
doing the displacing is described, inadequately, as "[æther]
effectively ‘flows’ towards matter".
