the bolded above...by lower did you mean shorter or longer? Frequency has an inverse relationship with wavelength - longer wavelength = lower frequency.Palinurus said:cope said:Good summary palinurus.
But would dust not do the opposite?
I am partial to a conciousness-technical reason.
cope said:Maybe there is a spectral shift upwards, rather than a filtering.
Maybe that would point to an greater EM fieldstrenght, wich accelerates.
Or point a a slowing of time itself, for us, in our experience?
Hi cope,
All other things being equal (which is indeed a massive assumption in this case), the filtering seems to be the most simple mechanism (Occam's razor) to explain what we, e. g. the Inuit Elders, observe nowadays. Given the size of the dust particles, I thought it reasonable to hypothesize that lower wave lengths --which means slower vibrations-- would be more affected by them than higher wave lengths. Think of a sieve with given hole size: everything smaller falls through. This explanation doesn't need the sun itself to be behaving in any way differently than before.
A spectral shift --if possible at all-- does need further explaining as to how it would have happened !
Nevertheless, I'm open to any and all other suggestions if viable. ;)
