Hi All,

Pushing further down the humiliation trail, if one considers the pain
of lowering temperatures into the microKelvins, one question arises:
How?

Dare I day photons? ;-)

Those same photons to have been claimed to be the source of ALL fields
and the inspiration for electrons are used to "calm" atoms (or corral
them) so that their jitters are reduced along with temperature. Hence
we return to Cecil's inability to express photonic pressure where it
counts most (shuffling those atoms). At the jeopardy of starting more
gibbering, we have photonic tweezers that move atoms around in quantum
dots.

The next esoteric observation comes with the introduction of the
Phonon, which is a sound wave that can move through material faster
than light. That, of course, is highly qualified because phonons
migrate through far more materials than light can. Albeit that rare
distinction, the frequency of that sound commonly pushes past 10s of
Terahertz (or as low as an 80M QSO).

The Phonon (not the Photon) would be that natural progression into
"Where Does the Power Go?" but would be another fumble at the 1 inch
line with a goal-to-goal reversal.
