OZONE DEPLETION
Burned, But Not Consumed
As with the rest of the judgments scattered through this Apocalypse, there is no credible reason to discount this one as merely symbolic. Knowledge of our surroundings, including our solar system, our galaxy, and the entire universe has increased tremendously within the past 106 years (as of 11/05/06). Our sun, not unlike the 300 billion other suns (called stars) in this galaxy alone is known to be a thermo-nuclear, pressure-cooking dynamo. This is true as well of the hundreds of billions on average found in the hundreds of billions of galaxies throughout the known universe. That is, our sun produces energy in its pressure packed core of roughly 230 thousand miles diameter under unimaginable pressure (340 billion times that of the earth’s 14psi, at sea level, to be exact!) by forcing a collision between deuterium and tritium atoms to produce an explosion that releases an even higher level of energy (these atoms are hydrogen derivatives or isotopes, having one proton but one and two neutrons respectively, as opposed to ordinary hydrogen, which has no neutrons.). This collision causes an explosion, followed by a release of energy in the form of dangerous and deadly gamma radiation (leaving the sun’s center supercharged at around 27 million degrees F). It has been suggested that the sun has been so constructed that it takes these gamma rays the equivalent of roughly two million years to migrate from the sun’s core, through its approximately 330 thousand miles of radiation and convection zones, to reach the surface of the sun (having been downgraded in strength along the way from gamma, to x-rays, to ultraviolet light), where it leaves on its 8 minute, 93,000,000 mile journey (at 186 thousand miles per second) to our earth, in the two energy forms we know as visible light and heat—each critical to life on earth.
Thankfully, the sun’s gamma radiation, as such, never reaches the earth. If it did, it would instantly destroy and vaporize the entire planet. Rather, having been substantially cooled, what began as extremely high frequency, exceedingly high energy, lethal gamma rays leave the sun’s outer surface as electromagnetic energy in at least three distinct frequency ranges. Visible light, that range of electromagnetic frequencies which allows us to see, and infrared energy (those frequencies just below those of visible light, which account for the heat we need to survive) comprising two of those ranges, ultraviolet radiation is the third.
