A question aof appearances
Oct. 5th, 2007 09:44 amSidetracked again :)
Assuming the existence of Luminiferous Aether.
A weapon is designed that projects a bolt or a beam of distortion in the aether and when a solid object gets in the way of the distortion it's molecular bonds gt broken as space gets stretched and twisted around them. What would the beam/bolts look like? The effect itself would be invisible, but there would be some light released by the destruction of air molecules in the way. furthermore, there would be blue shifting, red shifting, or both, of both that light and any light passing through as the paths of the light rays get stretched or compressed. It'll be a very subtle effect in any case, but would it be on the order of visibility of a laser, or of a laser in a deliberately fogged area?
