Very interesting Horace.
Is Beta-atmosphere involved?
I wouldn't be at all surprised.
No doubt, once the existence of B-a is
recognised all sorts of anomalies will
fall into their proper place - like the
following for instance.
=============================================
Consider the following diagrams for the
refraction of sound and light.
Sound travels faster in "dense" mediums and
it is refracted away from the normal when
it enters a "denser" medium like glass, for
instance.

On the other hand Light travels slower in
"dense" mediums and it is refracted towards
the normal when it enters a "denser" medium
like glass.

So their behaviour is apparently the
complete opposite of each other.
But is it really?
Really and truly? <g>
The sound ray is carried by the SOLID PHASE
which I have represented by lower case 'o'
atoms.
But the light ray is carried by the FLUID
PHASE which I have represented by asterisk
stars.
Now the Fluid Phase is the internal Beta-
atmosphere which is at a lower pressure
and lower substance/unit volume than the
external Beta-atmosphere. This pressure
difference is what holds the glass together
and gives it its strength.
At the apparent mass, m, scale the glass
is more substantial than its environment.
But at the true mass, M, scale the glass
is less substantial than its environment.
So you can see [hopefully ;-) ] that in
terms of the carriers both sound and light
are behaving in the same way. One is simply
a negative image of the other.
We have indeed got things inside out.
I now know how that lawyer, Secondo Pia,
felt when he ...

ADDENDUM
Since I have now represented concentration of
stuff will full stops, I may as well draw the
light refraction diagram with respect to
Beta-atmosphere pressure (see below).
As you can see, the Beta-atmosphere is more
concentrated outside the glass than within
the glass.

Thus refraction behaviour is the same for
sound and light providing account is taken
of the carrier medium.
