I'm submitting a patent for showing colors on the internet
- metalman 2y agoas long as you start with hooloovoo the rest will fall right in place The super-intelligent shade of blue, or more properly, Hooloovoo, is exactly what it says on the tin. Whether the creature is intelligent in general or just compared to other, lesser shades of blue is left ambiguous. It can: Refract in a prism (for special occasions). Turn purple when disgruntled about something. Meaningfully observe and interact with its surroundings, or it wouldn't be part of greater galactic society. So we're looking at some kind of energy creature that behaves like light, and has to be blue for some reason. Though there isn't much literal anatomy to speak of, I would like to know if you could possibly build a creature out of material that can pass through glass, and have it be both intelligent and equipped with senses.
- swayvil 2y agoIf light could interact with light then the rest would be a matter of how you arrange it. Can light interact with light?
- whatshisface 2y agoYes, the electron box Feynman diagram contributes a self-interaction term to Maxwell's equations scaled to the fine structure constant to the fourth power. You can find it in the introduction to Griffiths. I believe it has been experimentally detected.
- swayvil 2y agoThen a super-intelligent shade of blue seems inevitable. Doubly so, given how fast light moves.
- FredPret 2y agoI saw, but have not yet read, a Greg Egan novel where light has a mass. That'd be interesting
