No wonder the Concorde crashed.... If you hit a blue diamond with UV light it'll glow red in the dark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Diamond The Hope Diamond is a large, 45.52 carats (9.10 g), deep-blue diamond, housed in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C. The Hope Diamond is blue to the naked eye because of trace amounts of boron within its crystal structure, but it exhibits red phosphorescence under ultraviolet light. No wonder you don't know any physics, you've always wanted to be an engineer that worked on Concorde but never qualified.

The red phosphorescence DECAYS AFTER UV photon is absorbed and re-emitted as a red photon by an atom. Turn off the UV and the glow is still present for some time after. In other words there is no single "lag" time that you can measure, all you can do is a statistic on the half-life, we have no idea when a boron atom will lose its energy. The same is true for the cooling exhaust manifold of an engine, radiant heat is still photon emission but at a lower frequency. That's what you needed to know to formulate a BaTh theory. | >No wonder you don't know any physics, you've always wanted to be an engineer | >that worked on Concorde but never qualified.

Aha! OK. Maybe phosphorencence could be related. And the phase lag at interactions should apply to ANY theory not just BaTh. So Andersen and others are talking bullshit anyway. >| >No wonder you don't know any physics, you've always wanted to be an >engineer >| >that worked on Concorde but never qualified.

The field of study is known as 'optics', it is well established as the theory behind 'optics' is pretty well developed. Is there a particular reason you dismiss the entire field of optics? You claim you used to work at an observatory. Apparently you weren't allowed to use the telescopes or spectrometers. > > That seems to be the principal process involved in refractive index.

How many things have you named after yourself now? Do you find it at all curious how nobody seems to be interested in all those mysterious things you've named after yourself? Perhaps because you invent them every time you come up against something you can't explain, then forget it shortly after. > > We could call the more practical unit, the half-time after YOU. > > 1 Half WIT = 1 ANDERSEN (A). > > Fizeau drag = Be^-NkA > > Henry Wilson... > > .......Einstein's Relativity...The religion that worships negative space. |
