Mark, Looks like you have been passing the time, as the stick glows on and on, doing some reading. From the perspective of SPP, this article indicates that electrostatic charge could be increasing availability of plasmons. This is expected.
As for the glow-stick, it looks like there is an ~8 degree difference between the hot side and null side. Any further comment on the relevance of that? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Jurich http://www.techtimes.com/articles/107119/20151118/heating-mechanism-could-ma ke-materials-hotter-than-sun-how-this-could-impact-energy-production.htm Ultrafast collisional ion heating by electrostatic shocks: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/151113/ncomms9905/full/ncomms9905.html http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/151113/ncomms9905/pdf/ncomms9905.pdf
