  • What Dire Mishap Has Befallen Thee
Is this question for real? If  a cop  catches someone with a radar gun going 75.34 miles an hour, does the cop say "hmm, why wasn't it 75.00?"  No he doesn't, because that is the speed determined by the measurement system. The world isn't made up of round numbers lol

You do know that our entire number system is made up right? It was based on observable phenomenon. It started running into trouble when certain things, like the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter, kept coming up with an odd ratio now called "pi" and it is not an even number - it's approximated by 3.141592.....

Particles are also in the atmosphere, including the very air we breathe. Look what happens to the sunlight on earth, which is blocked or diminished when particles of water form into clouds. Smoke and fog have the same effect.

Clouds are created when water vapor, an invisible gas, turns into liquid water droplets. These water droplets form on tiny particles, like dust, that are floating in the air.
not talking about water droplets grandpa pervis

  • It is only in darkness that light is brightest
Ok god dammit

I’ll say this once and I wont explain it further

Particles are particles

Particles become photons because of radiation or rather heat

You Can see light only because of heat

But you can also feel heat in or on certain areas  of “ channeled “ or directed “ funneled “
when your in a dark room

So think of that for awhile

Stone henge

Pyramids
Monolithic structures
All direct the heat needed  that shows the particles  in a intentional way , you call this photons of light

So hit a fucking side triceps mothafucka!!

Jethro Tull gives me the power !!

U guys don’t have a brain just repeating scientific jargon. Now if light is a packet of photon or a particle then why can’t a house fan push the “particle or the packet”

I'm actually going to answer you even though it's a waste of time.

The wind does push a light particle .... , lights speed as mentioned above isn't a set number the standard " speed " for light is its speed in a vacuume. When the photons travel through objects their speed changes.

Look into a glass cube or sphere, the image is contorted this occurs as the light particles are slowed and diffracted through the material.

When light photons hits the atmosphere from space they slow and diffract also, different wavelengths of light are diffracted at different rates depending on the density of the atmosphere eg the sunsets are red near the horizon as the light has to pass through more atmospheric mass before it reaches your eyes.

HARMAN, Thanks!  But let me ask you an apparently 'stupid question' which may not appear to be too damn stupid within the QM world.

When a ray of light (either a particle or a wave) hits my eyeball, is that particle or that wave extinguished completely and exists no more?

In other words ....Is it possible that the object which  it strikes ... destroys it completely?

This may sound like a dumb ass question and difficult to comprehend , but this question and Marty's is the shit that may prove to be of  importance to the study of QM.

But that of course highly doubtful!

Mr stunt

I have a feeling you could carry a long drawn out conversation with just a mirror

Your like a stenographer

We need you to write stuff down

But maybe give it a bit more thought concerning the reader

Tell us about cardboard boxes

How do they feel when you land in them sir
