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.
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.
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.
