Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can't help think that there is something under this that we have missed that could change the way we think! Sounds crazy I know but it is such a simple experiment that mimics a collapsing star! You know when you get the feeling that there is more to this that won't go away...a hunch!... more

Well that's neat. Air imploding makes light. Makes perfect sense. o__o

From the page: "Some facts about sonoluminescence: * The light flashes from the bubbles are extremely short -between 35 and a few hundred picoseconds long- with peak intensities of the order of 1-10 mW. * The bubbles are very small when they emit the light - about 1 micrometre in diameter- depending on the ambient fluid (e.g., water) and the gas content of the bubble (e.g., atmospheric air)...."

Maybe we should be researching more about this? It seems like it could be important in the grand scheme of things. If it seems weird... we should probably be looking into why it's weird. That's seemed to work in the past anyways.

I read about this in New Scientist some years ago.
