Edit: Realised someone else posted this, but you can see for yourself with a garden hose set to spray mist.
For all those wanting to know the meaning of life - look it up in a dictionary. The OED has an entry about 42 pages long I think.
That's either light diffracting through oxygen,or the reflection of earth's water.Hitokiri_Gensai said:WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?!
It's Obvious, N=1 so P=1P. Basic algebra.Redingold said:Does P = NP, and why?
Anyone who can answer that question would win one million dollars and one of the highest accolades in mathematics. I'll settle for that. Oh, and I'm sure the answer will be enormously helpful to many technical fields, and might allow a proof to be constructed for the remaining six millennium prize puzzles (each of which comes with the aforesaid million dollars) if P actually does equal NP.

That logic says that the sky is blue because it is a reflection of the blue ocean which is a reflection of the sky.Riddle78 said:the reflection of earth's water.
TheYellowCellPhone said:Nope, it's how light bends colors, and blue being the one that's bent the most. Or something along the lines.
Well, when light his a gas molecule the light will get absorbed then released in any direction. Since it is happening all over the sky the light gets scattered(the process is even called Rayleigh scattering). This happens a lot more with the higher frequency light first (your violets and blues). If the atmosphere were thinner we would get a purple sky. If it were thicker we would get an orange or green sky (depending on the thickness). If you look closely at pictures from space you will actually see a film of violet around the Earth. Sunset produces the rest of the colors because the light is going through more atmosphere.Hitokiri_Gensai said:WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?!
Technically that is two questions, but also a good question to ask. I forgot about that one.Redingold said:Does P = NP, and why?
