ABOUT THE SONG
Archangel Zadkiel is an archangel associated with mercy, benevolence, kindness, and forgiveness, whose name means “Righteousness of God”. He is sometimes called the patron of all who forgive and is linked to the “violet flame” of transmutation and spiritual transformation. Crystals such as amethyst, blue lace agate, and lapis lazuli are associated with connecting with him.

ABOUT THE SONG
Crystals form through crystallization, a process where atoms, molecules, or ions arrange themselves into a highly ordered, repeating pattern called a crystal lattice. This occurs as a substance transitions from a fluid (like a dissolved liquid or melted rock) or vapor state to a solid. The process involves nucleation (the formation of a small seed crystal) followed by growth, where more units attach to the nucleus, creating a larger crystal with a specific external shape. Key factors influencing crystal formation include cooling rate, pressure, chemical composition, and the presence of fluids.

Ice crystals form when water vapor in a cloud freezes directly onto microscopic particles, growing into six-sided shapes. These initial crystals then grow by collecting more water vapor, developing intricate branches and arms that give each snowflake its unique, symmetrical structure. As the crystals get larger and heavier, they fall to the ground as snow, sometimes colliding and sticking to one another to form larger clumps.

ABOUT THE SONG
When a snowball rolls down a hill, it accumulates mass, accelerates, and gains inertia, mirroring the progression of human-induced climate change. Tipping points, once breached, set off self-sustaining feedback loops independent of human influence. This phenomenon is akin to a falling domino striking two more, setting off a chain reaction -- hence the term “The Domino Effect”. In climate science, it’s often termed “tipping cascades.” This concept can also be likened to “The Snowball Effect.” A tipping point resembles a snowball gathering mass and velocity (momentum) as it rolls downhill. Once passed, it leads to cumulative and reinforced global warming.

When a snowball rolls down a hill, its momentum is governed by several principles of physics, including conservation of momentum, friction, and the laws of motion.

  1. Conservation of Momentum: According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. As the snowball starts rolling down the hill, it gains momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so as the snowball gains mass by accumulating more snow, its momentum increases.
  2. Friction: Friction between the snowball and the surface of the hill plays a crucial role. Friction opposes the motion of the snowball, which means it acts in the direction opposite to the snowball’s velocity. However, as the snowball accumulates more mass, it also gains more surface area in contact with the hill, which increases the frictional force. This can help accelerate the snowball’s motion, especially if the hill is steep enough.
  3. Gravity: Gravity is what pulls the snowball downhill in the first place. As the snowball rolls down the hill, it accelerates under the influence of gravity. The force of gravity acting on the snowball increases its velocity, contributing to its momentum.
  4. Impact and Collisions: As the snowball accumulates more mass, it may collide with other objects like rocks or other snowballs on its way down the hill. These collisions can transfer momentum and alter the snowball’s trajectory and velocity.

Overall, the snowball’s momentum is a result of the interplay between these factors. As it gains mass and velocity while rolling down the hill, its momentum increases, governed by the principles of classical mechanics.

Chaos theory, the concept of The Snowball Effect, tipping points and feedback loops provide valuable insights into understanding the acceleration of climate change.

  1. Chaos Theory: Chaos theory deals with complex systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, where small changes can lead to significant differences in outcomes. The Earth’s climate system is a classic example of such a complex system. Small perturbations, such as changes in greenhouse gas concentrations or variations in ocean currents, can lead to large-scale and often unpredictable changes in weather patterns and climate dynamics. Chaos theory helps us understand why seemingly small changes in atmospheric composition or temperature can have profound and sometimes unexpected effects on global climate patterns.
  2. Tipping Points: Tipping points are thresholds in a system where a small change can lead to a significant and often irreversible shift in the system’s state. In the context of climate change, tipping points represent critical thresholds in Earth’s climate system, such as the melting of polar ice caps or the collapse of large ice sheets. Once these tipping points are crossed, they can trigger feedback loops that amplify warming and accelerate climate change. For example, the melting of Arctic sea ice reduces the Earth’s albedo, leading to more absorption of solar radiation and further warming of the Arctic, creating a positive feedback loop.
  3. Feedback Loops: Feedback loops are mechanisms by which changes in one part of a system amplify or dampen changes in another part of the system. In the climate system, there are both positive and negative feedback loops. Positive feedback loops amplify changes and tend to destabilize the climate system, while negative feedback loops dampen changes and promote stability. For example, as temperatures rise, permafrost thaw releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which further accelerates warming, creating a positive feedback loop. On the other hand, increased atmospheric CO2 levels can stimulate plant growth, leading to more carbon uptake through photosynthesis, which acts as a negative feedback loop.

By considering chaos theory, tipping points, and feedback loops, we can better understand the non-linear dynamics of the climate system and why climate change can accelerate rapidly once certain thresholds are crossed. This understanding is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

* Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels.
