At the 1930 Solvay meeting Einstein proposed a thought experiment purporting to defeat Heisenberg uncertainty by opening the shutter of a box arbitrarily briefly to allow a photon to escape at an accurately known time then measuring the resulting decrease m in weight of the whole box to arbitrary accuracy so as to estimate the photon's energy E accurately as mc ^ 2.

As both the House and the Senate grapple with proposed carbon - cutting measures — carbon taxes and «cap - and - trade» schemes for big CO2 emitters such as coal - fired power plants; increased Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for cars, SUVs, and trucks; and mandatory set - asides for clean renewable energy in the mix of energy generation options — emissions from aircraft seem, at least for the time being, to have gone over the heads of most policymakers engaged in the rush to cut carbon emissions.
