TomK,
I don't know what your particular discipline is, but I know it is not remotely affiliated with the technology discussed in this thread. You may have used an infrared device in the past within your work, but the knowledge of EE evidently ceases pretty much right there.
If you're a Geologist with a PHD - that's great but you need to be aware that the several disciplines within the sciences has a great degree of differences even in the same words of their terminologies. The variants between physics, biology and chemistry are vast in many cases and that’s just to name a few. If you want to discuss something in a different discipline, you need to stop with the thronomister comments, Star Trek etc., aside from being insulting and arrogant, it shows a great deal of disrespect to the discipline in question and ignorance on your behalf.
You’ve got two people in the disciplines of physics and electrical engineering over here a little miffed at you at this point. I don’t know the first thing about Geology, Paleontology, Cosmology (perhaps a wee bit) or Archeology but I refuse to scoff at the terminology they might use.
I do know that the sciences we are affiliated with make and or design the majority of the devices used by the many sciences…
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
