We are not communicating well, so I'll say good bye.

The effects that I was seeking in were penetration of solid structures
and production of damage within, or perhaps an image on emerging.

I have the idea that matter contracts and time `passes' slower in
space acceleration (relative to earth) in absence of much mass in the
vicinity.

I have the idea that the atmosphere as part of the earth is quite
massive judging by atmospheric pressure, and that the muon experiment
is not helpful.

I have the idea that the standard earth clock measures time by means
of radioactive decay of Cesium . . And that decay was the mechanism of
an atomic clock.

I used UVL to indicate that it was a portion of the infrared, visible,
ultraviolet light spectrum.

Finally, yes I'm familiar with the photoelectric effect, it just
seemed a little out of place.

Other points raised by you have slipped my mind.

And for some reason it comes to my mind that it was a favorite ploy of
Socrates to always answer a question with a question. (you will
probably have no idea what I'm thinking about. and think irrelevant)
