Hi John,
Actually, I think you fell into a trap specifying the EM spectrum (which
is well characterised, and has no "unknowns" about it), rather than
something vague like "energy" or "radiation".
It is entirely possible that life has evolved a way of making use of
some unknown source of radiant e
Thanks, Russell, you still teach physics.
I fell into bad styling when wanted to refer to phenomena BEYOND it, just
as there was EM before it was detected, there was electricity and gravity
before the words were invented and so on. What may be in the future is not
anticipateable if we have no lead

Maybe a BLACK tree? how 'bout "barking" in humanly non-audible
spectrum-parts of the frequencies? dogs may hear it. How 'bout if your
question touches items beyond our humanly accessible/accessed inventory?
Consider my appreciative reply within those parts.

Is it possible that plants are actually efficient in other parts of the
spectrum that we can't see? Maybe they utilise a lot of infra red and
ultraviolet, and the fact that there is a missed opportunity in visible
green is a relatively insignificant blip?
After all we only see less than one light

I suppose the Sun's spectral characteristics might have changed a bit since
chlorophyll evolved - though I wouldn't think *that* much. However, I agree
with Brent - I would think that any plant that evolved the ability to
