Which isn’t really surprising/weird because all light is emitted by something. That something has a signature thanks to physics: the photons of light are emitted according to the structure of the atom. Basically.
Of course it’s a tad more nuanced. Emitted light has a signature, and things that absorb light can also impart their own signature.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoWell, the simple fact, that light is emmitted does not necessarily imply, that the signature must be unique or very specific to any molecule. That is something with probably a way more complicated explanation, if one wants to dig deeper. I suspect something something quantum will also play a role, so probably without studying physics not properly understandable in depth.
