I am a physicist, but not professionally involved in any of this thing
directly.Firstly, I must say that the evidence for existence of 'chemtrails' is
as yet unconvincing to me. The pictures look like nothing but contrails.
Nonetheless, it may be illuminating to logically pursue the
consequences of the contrary hypothesis and attempt to connect the
slivers of data available with logical deduction and physical
scientific analysis.
Specifically, if there is something being sprayed on a large scale and
in secret, what is the purpose?
Logic leads me to reject ``biological warfare'' or similar sorts of
arguments.
*) The reported patterns of `spraying' are contradictory to those that
would best accomplish such an insidious task. They supposedly occur
at high altitude and in daylight. This would be a highly ineffective
method of targeting population centers, as most of the agent would be
dispersed into unpopulated regions. Given the expense and difficulty
of such a thing, the waste would be unacceptable. Reports of strands
also seem very odd to be a biological delivery system.
*) the motivations of a military conspiracy do not fit. This would be
a major operation costing significant amounts of money---many people
would have to be involved. It would be impossible to convince all of
them to keep quiet over something that is intentionally designed to
harm our own population, including their families. The military
mindset may be authoritarian, rigid and unyielding to criticism and
dismissive of civil liberties, but it is generally motivated in the
large by authentic patriotism. For example, the Manhattan Project was
successfully kept secret despite a huge effort, however, at least a
few dozen to hundreds of top people knew the overall purpose and
means. It would have not been successful unless all of them were
fully and honestly dedicated to its goals. And they were. A worse
example might be the Vietnam War, however, even then, it was a stupid
warmongering policy motivated out of authentic patriotic
anti-communism, and as history has proven, communists really were bad
and evil.
A ``Dr Evil'' scenario is illogical.
If there is some sort of atmospheric modifcation program, it must be deemed
with all intent (though it could easily be highly reckless) for the good of
the nation.
If there are adverse health effects, it is more probable they are unintended
consequences.
Now, on to physics and quasi-rumor-physics.
The one keyword that struck this Vulcan was the mention of Barium Titanate
as a potential chemical being sprayed.
The significant thing about BaTiO3 is that, at least when it is in
solid form in crystals, it is a highly effective electrical
dielectric. This means it can greatly increase the capacitance of two
plates when placed between a voltage. I.e. more charge separation for
the same voltage drop (electric field strength). This is because it
is a 'ferroelectric' material that if made properly can hold a
permanent electrical polarization, just as ferromagnets can hold a
permanent magnetic polarization. It and related compounds have been
the subject of significant and completely normal scientific
investigation for semiconductor and other solid state devices for its
scientific and engineering interest.
The dielectric constant of bulk BaTi03 is maybe 1500 times that of air
or vacuum, obviously a major change. {it is impossible to lower the
dielectric to below '1', the vacuum level, and standard air is only
slightly above 1}. If dispersed into the air in particles though, BaTiO3
may be able to change the overall dielectric constant of the air by a
modest to reasonable amount as it is such a good dielectric on its
own.
Assuming the intent of the spraying is dielectric modification, what
could possibly be the motivation?
Let us explore possible hypotheses.
1) 'optical stealth' experiments.
Changing the dielectric constant means changing the index of
refraction (as that's what a lens does) and if you do this in the air
perhaps you can cause optical effects to hide an aircraft.
However, this does not hold up to analysis. Firstly, BaTiO3 is only
an excellent dielectric when it is nearby other atoms of its kind as
the polarization is a crystal solid state effect. So it has to be in
solid particles to work, but then the dielectric change would only be
'in bulk' for wavelengths larger than the typical particle separation,
which would not be true for optical frequencies. The dielectric
effect would have to be at lower frequencies.
In any case, there would have been major visible optical effects plain
to any observer from this. This hasn't been seen.
2) stealth technology defense.
Now this is getting somewhat more plausible. Suppose you were trying
to detect a craft that had a negligible direct radar signature. What
can you do? One way is to try to detect the effect that the craft has
on the atmosphere as it flies through it. Stealth planes try to have
very low thermal cross sections and intentionally suppress their
contrails with chemicals, but at some point there has to be some
atmospheric disturbance if they want to fly fast.
It may be that adding a dielectric, which may have complex frequency
dependent properties to enable radar identification, could make the
atmosphere or disturbances inside it ``visible'' or at least
measurable to active radar.
Then if you see a 'wake' without any commercial or known plane causing it,
you may have found a stealth plane.
Also there can be complex mechanical forces in electric fields when there are
dielectric gradients as well.
3) ``By the pricking of my thumbs, something Wicked this way comes.''
This is now the most extreme and speculative hypothesis.
There has been an undercurrent of vague connections between high
voltage and high-charge electric fields and 'UFOs', from the reports
of UFOs causing electrical disturbances in equipment, ozone-like
smells, and the reports of old inventors (TT Brown) who supposedly
found odd non-standard physics with very high voltage systems. I am
not at all convinced any of this is true, but suppose that it were so.
Suppose that there is in fact some new physical phenomena that is not
part of present known physics that occurs in very high intensity
electric fields, and that this is used somehow by ET visitors in their
propulsion systems. It would be logical to suppose that this effect
may be nonlinear in the electric field strength, at least quadratic
with electric energy density |E|^2 or perhaps even higher powers
thereof, because linear or low order effects should have been observed
by humans already.
Now what would an atmosphere with a higher dielectric do?
Or more specifically, what if you had a craft that made a very high
field, i.e. a very large charge separation that caused a strong E
field that was responsible for its propulsion (one presumes a dipole
arrangement), which then flew *into* a region of higher dielectric.
What would happen is that the strength of the overall electric field
lines that extended outside the craft would decrease, because they
would be counteracted by the polarization inside the
dielectric. (That's how dielectrics work). If the novel physics of
the device is proportional to a significant power of the electric
field, then the dielectric might 'poison' it, rather like a neutron
absorber in a nuclear reactor.
If the alien propulsion technology required significant E fields to
extend past the craft, the layers of altered dielectric atmosphere
might be viewed as 'electrostatic turbulence' when flying through it,
which could cause a loss of stability or control. At a minimum, the
craft might be required to start expending significant energy to
charge back up its field strength to nominal levels, energy which is
being dumped into the path of the polarization of the dielectric
particles or fibers it is flying through. The mechanical forces of a
strong E field on the dielectric might also be significant,
i.e. causing air currents that could impair the flight stability.
Again, perhaps also a detection opportunity.
If this were all true, and the military is going to the effort and
danger of even subverting commercial civilian planes to emit this,
over broad swaths of airspace, at great expense, and at perhaps
signifcant harm to the health of the population, what could be the
reason?
As I feel that world-domination-Illuminati conspiracies are not feasible,
logic leads to but one:
Imminent Alien Invasion.
If this were so, Sarek suggests some actions.
1) Call your Senator and Representative and urge them to vote for the
National ``Missile'' Defense, even though the official rationales are
very flimsy.
official rationale:
Defense against a few missles from a rogue state? Ridiculous, as we
successfully deterred against a much more formidable missle force from
the USSR. Any rogue state doing a launch would be incinerated within
the hour. Also, the NMD emphasis on terminal phase interception is
seemingly stupid, as it is much harder to hit a small ballistic
warhead than it is to intercept a large bright rocket on its boost
phase. Missle launches are naked-eye visible and bright for hundreds
of miles.
2) Immediately stop any and all 'chemtrail' activism and exposes, as
that could turn out to be inadvertent and disasterous *treason*.
The secrecy and security might not be directed primarily at *us*.
3) Turn up your air filters to max, stock up on your breathing masks,
and take your vitamins.
4) Pray hard for the Boys and Girls in Blue, because they might just
be our last, best, hope for victory.
5) Remember what the Aztecs thought about Cortez.
