Now, I again suggest you write a paper for peer review and see if you get it published. Geophysical Research Letters or nature or something. How about that?


Well I have been thinking about that over night, but I have come the conclusion that it woud be rejected on the grounds that it was saying nothing new.. This concept was explained about 200 years ago by Count Rumford who called cold radiation frigorific rays.

I don't think a new name for an old well established concept is really grounds for a paper in a journal like Nature.

The other explanation for Pictets experiment was by Prevost (1790) who proposed what is now called Prevost's theory of exchanges which states that each body radiates emits to and receives from other bodies free radiant a very rare fluid, rays of which, like light rays, pass through each other without detectable disturbance of their passage.

Those two concepts correspond to the wave particle duality of light.

You need look no further than Wikipedia :-)
