At 7:27 PM PST (Second Life time) is the moment of Winter Solstice with maximal tilt of the southern axis toward the sun for all on planet Earth.
Since this is the LONGEST, DARKEST NIGHT in the Northern hemisphere, we will discuss LIGHT: light as a transverse wave as described by Scottish physicist, Clerk Maxwell who was able to calculate the speed of propagation of his electromagnetic waves from field theory; SEARCH FOR the AETHER (as it was once called): the Michelson Morley experiment of 1887.
