Problems with the Photo Molecular Theory and Transpiration Theory are Solved in Kriske's Photo Electric Theory and a new Physics was Discovered

POSTER

Abstract

The Transpiration Theory of cooling with Trees and plants has errors in it that were solved by Richard Kriske's Photo Electric Theory. The Transpiration Theory is a rather old theory that assumed that the evaporation of water from the leaves were the cause of cooling of the plant and the environment. Apparently just the Heat of Evaporation giving water vapor was the crux of the model. The error in this theory was that trees absorb all wavelengths of light and water vapor rising from trees is rarely seen. Instead the trees produce water gas. The Photo Molecular Theory that was recently proposed at MIT suffers the same problem, in the "chunks" of water are produced when laser light is shined on water for the specific use of drying. The MIT researchers did mention that light can be directly absorbed by water and the "chunks" do not need heat to form. If one simply assumes that both groups of researchers are simply seeing different manifestations of the Photo Electric Effect, first discovered by Heinrich Hertz, the cooling effect of trees is better explained. In Kriske's theory the photon of light strikes the water in the leaves, or even on the top of a stump, or any place were the water resides and the entire photon's enery is transferred to the water molecule. If the photon is in the Infrared, the heat causes just evaporation into vapor, but if it is Ultraviolet, which it was in Hertz's experiment, the water molecule is ejected as Dry Steam, or Gas. Since the Photoelectric effect was discovered Dirac' theory of positive electrons, or "holes" was invented. The "holes" then travel down the water column, which is posited to by solid and at extreme tension in the Transpiration Theory. The "hole" transmits the "negative enery" which is the entire photon's "negative energy" into the soil. Since the "hole" has zero mass, it is entirely "Equal and Opposite" and is just "negative kinetic energy". The "negative KE" acts like a gas in the soil, giving the water column "root pressure". An interesting aside, is that he -KE cools the Earth and is stored in the Earth. One of the more interesting things that could be done, is to fill a "Balloon" with "Negative KE" and obtain a "antigravity" , as it has less pressure than the vacuum and would float from gravitating bodies. The "Negative Energy" from trees has supercooled the Earth in the past, and could be used today.
