Radiation Sequence:
"Then the atmosphere bends that radiation very readily so that it gives us the red-yellow-orange-green-blue-violet colors themselves. Then when the radiation gets to the water–three-quarters of the Earth being covered with water-- you see how much it is bent simply by putting a pole into the water and looking at the bending of it. . . There’s bending, bending, bending until finally the radiation is so bent it gets now impounded horizontally into the surface of the water around our Earth, and we get these horizontal moving streams such as the Gulf Stream, the great warmth. We have then the enormous impounding of the energy of the Sun in just the heating of the atmosphere, bringing about all our storms, the various low pressures and high pressures depending the heating is being impounded by large moisture concentrations or low.
“And so this enormous energy is being collected here, and this radiation then is atomizing the ocean, and then it gets dropped back again, pulled back by gravity as rain. And we find then vegetation operating; vegetation on the dry land and algae in the sea, impounding the energy of the Sun by photo-synthesis.”
