Chemical or Sound Ether

See previous post on Guenther Wachsmuth, who says that the characteristic form of chemical or sound ether is the "half-moon." Indeed, rather like the form of the ear, when you think of it.

The following is a surprising confirmation from astronaut Buzz Aldrin:

On the quality of moon dust: "It exhibited a most unusual quality. I must have kicked about half-a-dozen sprays or more, and each time the dust flew out in front slightly, landing in a perfect semicircle, every grain spraying out uniformly and equidistantly without any rippling effect. I related my observations to Houston, and thought, This is surreal, how each grain of moondust falls into place in these little fans, almost like rose petals."

From his book, Magnificent Desolation: the Long Journey Home from the Moon, New York, 2009.
