Kinetic energy or total energy? Assuming the rose weight 10 grams I get that 1.12PJ total energy, but only 0.23PJ is kinetic.

Yeah maybe shift the X scale by 40 IQ points and it would be more accurate.
Waves are underrated in pop-sci context. Even classical waves you can make with household items like strings can have counterintuitive and cool behaviors!
While it is true that space time dilation can cause red/blueshift, that is a distinct from the doppler effect which is the primary effect here.
(dilation plays only a small role: without time dilation our answer going from 700nm to 350nm would be 0.5c instead of the 0.6c calculated below)
