It doesn't want to copy/paste well, and there's many good reference links in the article. 

Synopsis, insects overall are losing 1-2% population density per year on average, and might start a cascade as pretty much everything in the food web has insects impacting it somewhere.

Time dilates as the speed of light approaches. To the extent that light consists of particles, it is in its own way, timeless. Through simple perturbations of the temporal manifold, we can refract or repel photons most efficiently.
