Take the old experiment (alluded to by ORFUGEN6, I think) where we light
a candle at sunset and let some object cast a shadow on a table.  The
sunlight is red, the light from the candle is yellow, and the color of
the shadow is BLUE.  What sort of "molecular energy-flow" will be the
same for this blue shadow and another patch of the same blue produced by
using blue light?

If your "energy-flow" handles this situation, then I'd like to hear more
about it.  Maybe you have web site?
