    Electromagnetic Radiation

    The Sun and every Sun in the Universe is a source of ‘Electromagnetic energy Radiation’ we call light and yet we are unable to see it.

    All electromagnetic radiation produced by the Sun is invisible to the sense organ we call the eye, so what is it really that we say we see? When one says they can see the Sun, what they mean is, I suspect, that they can see a luminous disc and then only when the Sun’s radiation has passed through a filter we call the atmosphere, which also causes a refractive image. The reason why what we call sunrise and sunset is so beautiful is as a consequence of the refraction effects of the atmosphere and the angle of the Sun with respect to our eyes. The atmosphere changes electromagnetic radiation frequency many times over, which gives the effect of a variety of colours and this is precisely how a prism produces a spectrum of colours or more precisely a Frequency Interference Pattern. The electromagnetic radiation from the Sun is transmitted in all directions on the Aether in a reactionary way throughout the Universe, as is the radiation from every other star. I use the term reactionary, because the undetectable Aether energy substance of the Universe that is in all and through all is the medium on which all electromagnetic transmissions are conveyed.


    If however we could visually observe radiation transmissions from the Sun, we would not be able to see anything at all and I maintain that it is the electromagnetic transmissions from the Sun that excites the electrons making them luminous on material surfaces and gaseous substances; also our clouds and atmosphere are made luminiferous. It is these luminiferous transmissions of varying wavelengths that the human eye can detect that makes it possible for us to discern the unique characteristics of everything with which the Sun’s electromagnetic transmissions interact. This is precisely how the Moon is able to transmit its own unique characteristics, which incidentally are not as a result of reflected Sun light; as I have already pointed out, what is transmitted by the Sun is invisible. This is borne out by the fact that when you see the Moon in the night sky, you do not see the so-called sunlight passing by the Earth and striking the surface of the Moon. Moonlight is also invisible but it is still a unique characteristic of a satellite we call the Moon and the Moon’s luminiferous transmissions are fuelled by the electromagnetic transmissions from the Sun.


    The luminiferous transmissions the eye is able to tolerate are much less intense and are of a lower frequency than those direct from the Sun. The atmosphere slows the Sun’s transmissions down creating a luminiferous effect that is spread far and wide, illuminating the world. The results are then translated into visual information by the brain and this is how we observe the world. I visualize the brain as being something like a radio receiver and the eyes as antennas, but like all analogies, it is inadequate. However, radio and TV transmissions are electromagnetic in substance and just like the Sun’s transmissions they are invisible to the eye. Our awareness of these facts is fundamental to our understanding of the Universe and the workings of our own bodies.

    Interesting...

    The Sun produces electromagnetic radiation throughut the spectrum. Our eyes are able to collect and process (via the brain) a small part of the spectrum (visible light). Now if we use all of our observers to make a composite image of the Sun we would get a neat picture of what it would look like if our eyes had broader sensitivity. The great thing about visible light is that it can be beautiful, especially when we view the universe.

    Believe it or not, we can see the Sun and anything else that radiates within the parameters of our optic sensors. The magic of how radiation excites our sensors through oscillations is real and it does allow us to "see".

    Along with this we can feel the presence of the Sun via our infrared receptors in our skin, Heat.

    Cheers,
