Can anyone tell me whether light waves travel and cause vibrations of molecules like sound waves cause vibrations of molecules parallel to the direction of wave propagation or any transverse waves which cause molecules to move at right angles to the direction of wave propagation. And if light causes vibration of molecules, why is it that we see light but we cannot hear it nor we can see sound.

Just curious if anyone knows how much variation there is in daylight along the equator from "Winter" to "Summer." I know the closer to the poles you go, the greater difference in sunlight between winter and summer days and, in extreme locations, the sun doesn't "rise" or "set" for long periods depending on the season. What about at the equator? Does every day get about the same amount of daylight? How much difference is there in daylight from the "shortest" to the "longest" day?

I got an e-mail saying that through the month of August we can see Mars with the naked eye. It supposedly will rise in the east after 10pm and the the month goes on it will get brighter and look like the size of a full moon. They also said that it happened 5,000 years ago and will not happen again in our lifetime.

Please read/skim the following 3 articles (fairly short), before responding.

(Edge-Localized Modes in plasmas look like solar flares.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3260985.stm

(ELM's are distinctly like other cosmic plasma discharges, possibly even the sun.)
http://epsppd.epfl.ch/Tarragona/pdf/P1_132.pdf

(We have learned how to prevent Edge-Localized Modes from flaring.)
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn9202&feedId=online-news_rss20

Now, if solar flares are really Edge-Localized Modes in an electromagnetic plasma discharge, can we use the same principles we use in the lab to regulate or prevent solar flares?

What could we do with this technology and what would be the implications of this technology if we were able to produce it?

Could we eliminate solar flares and coronal mass ejections in order to limit damage to sensitive electronics in space, and to protect astronauts from (or limit exposure to) charged particles in local space?
