sabatier? well, i call it solar- ization. always have. guess i’m just a lot older than most of you. or maybe i’ve just been out of the loop (so to speak) for a while. ‘cuz really, when the hell did it happen that the term ‘solarization’ became ‘sabatier’? i think i must have slept in that day. so anyway, one day i was speaking with someone and referring to solariz... um, i mean sabatier and was wondering if maybe i was completely mistaken in assuming that the term sabatier had replaced solarization and so had to find out for sure. i wiki’d the term solarization and double checked spelling for sabatier and found that solarization refers to something physicists call electromagnetic radiation; the changing of the colour of a material which has been exposed to high levels of untraviolet light. is it coincidence that sabatier is also a french chemist’s name---paul sabatier? he was the nobel prize winner for chemistry in 1912. i’m just curious.photo - rjmartin 1994
