Does infrared radiate under water?

Image
 I watched the following video clip on the La Pama volcano eruption. I was wondering, something I often think about, whether infrared heat radiation radiates through the water as it does the air. Would a diver feel the heat as they would if they were on land?  This question stems from my radiation experiment, where I discovered water blocks the infrared, whereas glass and greenhouse gases do not.

ePublic Good (Public Good) Prediction comes true in New Zealand

Image
Over ten years ago, I wrote the article Is the Internet Making New Public Goods?  ePublic Goods.  In the article, I argued that, based on the decline and failure of the entertainment and news media industries, the internet is producing a new type of Public Goods, ePublic Goods. e for electronic or internet-based. Public Goods, along with Private, Club, and Commons (Common Pool) Goods, are a key  phenomenon  in economics.  Governments support public goods, and I predicted that this may happen with the media, too, someday, at the risk of democracy. If this is true, it is not a good thing at all.  Firms in these industries are not profiting, are failing due to internet sales losses, and have been downsizing. This is akin to examples of market failure, such as streetlights, fireworks displays, lighthouses, and others. The media and entertainment firms are failing for the same reasons as these normal Public Goods.  Non-rivalry is when no one is bothered (t...

Emergent Fractal Attractor Corresponds with Foundational Quantum Problems

Image
For over ten years, I have been developing a theory of quantum mechanics through the lens of fractals. I have found that the fractal demonstrates all aspects of quantum. My problem has been getting this down on paper and publishing it. Over 6 months, from late 2020 to early 2021, I worked on the following paper with my supervisor, but in the end, I threw it down, not at all happy with what I had achieved. I need to approach it differently: rather than treating it as an experiment, describe the fractal from a deductive point of view. I intend to do this when things have settled, and I have had a break from it all, but this is what I have achieved so far.  Keep in touch. I will let you know when I get started again.  Abstract The field of foundational quantum mechanics originated nearly one hundred years ago, yet it remains one of the greatest mysteries to physicists today. The experiment in this study tests whether the geometry of fractals, according to a simple isolated iterat...

Proposal to test the Non-Greenhouse Gases for IR Radiation with the Raman spectrometer

Image
By Greenhouse Theory, 99% of the dry atmosphere, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), (the non-greenhouse gases), are assumed not to absorb or emit infrared radiation. They are claimed to gain their heat energy from molecular 'collisions' with the 1% special heat-trapping greenhouse gases. This process of 'collisions' implies thermal conduction.  Four things:  foundation of radiation physics/Quantum Mechanics claims that all matter with a temperature radiates infrared light,   Air is a poor thermal conductor, one of the poorest known (0.026W.m.K.),  If the, for instance, 0.04% CO2 did transfer heat by conduction to all the 99% nearly instantaneously, its claimed heat-trapping properties would have to be extraordinarily special to share this gained energy equally, not just special, and If the air did transfer heat by collisions, we would live in a hell of heat, as we would feel the heat of every matter directly through the air.  If the greenhouse effect were ...

Rutherfords Edict No Communism in Lab

Image
" Communist Propaganda is Not Allowed in the Lab." Lord Ernest Rutherford's Edict was laid down on Russian Scientist Peter Kapitza's first day at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, 1921. Reference: Rutherford, J Campbell AAS Publications, pg 387. He is the most outstanding scientist of all time. His discoveries, by experiment, opened the door to the world we inherit. As a New Zealander myself, I am deeply inspired. I have been to his hometown many times. I used to work near Havelock and did my teacher training at Nelson College. By all accounts, he was a man of principle. I put this 'Rutherford's Edict' together this morning on his 150th birthday. His edict is lost today, and the likes of my work (on the fractal and the atmosphere) will never be seen because of it.

Radiation Transmitted by Atmosphere Raman

Image
  I have just put the finishing touches on my model of the infrared atmosphere. It is an artwork, really, but it is the culmination of 10 years of research. It builds on the previous 19th-century technology-based model of the same name, but mine includes measurements by the modern laser-based Raman spectrometer/Lidar. This knowledge is ignored by proponents on both sides of the climate debate. Both sides tell me I am wrong, but none tell me where I am wrong without breaking the laws and practical applications of physics. With this knowledge, there are no paradoxes or contradictions, for instance, that Nitrogen and Oxygen do not absorb or emit infrared radiation when, according to classical (and quantum) physics, all matter with a temperature radiates infrared. Your attention can be drawn to the blue and green (Raman-detected) lines. These lines are not included in greenhouse theory, and as a result, Nitrogen and Oxygen (99% of the dry atmosphere) are claimed not to be greenhouse ga...

Giant Arc evidence of a fractal universe

Image
I'm looking at my feeds, and I see astronomers have discovered (or finally recognised; we've known about them for years) that there is a 'large' structure at the outer edges of the universe. 3 billion years wide, 'Giant Arc'. https://www.sciencetimes.com/.../could-this-3-billion... This blows apart the standard model of cosmology as for it galaxy distribution is smooth on all scales. But a few have challenged this view and said the universe is fractal - fractal-cosmology. I came into this from the outside, indirectly. The universe is recognised 'by science' as being fractal on small scales (out to around 1 billion years), but on large scales, it is smooth and assumed not fractal. No, it is not smooth, and nor should it be. I have taken fractal cosmology further by modelling a fractal (doing the maths directly from a fractal, an experiment). Big structures like the Giant Arc are exactly what we would expect to see—like big branches on a tree near the trun...
