Science Lesson 101



Okay, this absolutely astounded me. After watching this video I no longer have any faith in the human race. In fact, it's been a few good hours since I first watched it and I am STILL flabbergasted.... and I don't get flabbergasted often. So we are going to have a little education about rainbows. Contrary to unpopular belief, rainbows are actually caused by the Sun's light refracting off the surface of a raindrop, reflected off the back of it, and then finally refracted again as it leaves the raindrop. All raindrops reflect light in this way, but we only see a rainbow when the Sun appears to be behind the rainbow. Chemically induced rainbows.............. I don't even have anything to say about that O.O
