Having discovered the connection between water and the speed of light I felt it might be valuable to have another look at the three vapour pressure power relations.
(see http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/strange.html#tv ) In the first post of the ...upon the clouds of heaven... thread (Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2004 10:05:59) I pointed out that the three powers, 4, 8 and 12, could be dissected into a "common factor and the 'la difference'", viz. VP � [4]^n where the GBP sign represents proportionality; n represents the dimensionality (i.e. 1, 2 or 3) Rather than using vapour pressure, the external kinetic energy, as the LHS variable it is more revealing to use its reciprocal, E, the internal strain energy, which gives us E � [-4]^(-n) And in view of the connection between light speed and water it is not difficult to see the E � {-4} bit of these three equations represents the inverse of a black body, viz a white body or a perfect absorber. Think of light as entering in the chunks of vapour and being totally internally reflected in a kind of three dimensional vortex to form the clusters Chaplin illustrates on his website. Presumably these are the structures that store the strain energy, the inner cores in compression and the outer sheaths in tension. Now I don't suppose that water vapour chunks are the only white bodies. I believe that Jones's epos (or my materons) are also white bodies which absorb radiant energy. I believe that this, not quanta, is the solution to the problem of the violet catastrophe. I almost feel sorry for Quetzalcoatl - but not quite. I shall get great pleasure from watching him and his diabolical acolytes squirm. 8-) Cheers Frank Grimer
