How do they do that?

If you can't go below absolute zero then everything must be radiant. Even the things at absolute zero would have to get warm unless there is something to shield them but that couldn't be indefinitely.

I don't know why anyone would want to pursue this idea since it doesn't go anywhere, or does it do anything when it gets where I can't see it going?

I was watching the contrails forming mares tails yesterday and realised that cold can fall from the sky in a very few hours. The planes, liners of several hundred tons pull down a portion of the sky above them in reaction to their wing loading.

And it occurred to me that the sky is full of freezing air all the way up from the tropopause. This ice must exist as a sublime crystal turning the sky blue while all the red light is absorbed and whatever.

All that is required to bring it all the way down is prolonged calm, thus we get frosts. We can see from weather models how straight lines of cyclones drag anticyclones into their midst. And we know that in order for cyclones to last that long there has to be calm for long enough for them to form and reach cyclosis.

But in a very few days it is all over. What appears to happen in this cycle we are watching now is that the cross winds formed are in a line storm format with the break-up of the pressure systems seldom varying far from 1016 mb near sea level.

It seems as though temperatures have graded out as well, as there is apparently nothing to shift all these systems from the dead-lock/Langrangian Points they might be in. Nor does there seem to be any way to change it until the ice cover is restored in winter.
