This is done by prisms breaking sunlight into a rainbow, or Newton's Rings of color appearing on oil slicks. Peacocks and bluejays and blue morphos all get their color from notch filters applied to the Fourier transform. It's a pr

The suggestion is very poorly worded, if you are correct.

You should precede those verbs with "they claim that they". "Aggressively follow up" is a completely meaningless phrase. It could just mean they put an "angry face" emoji in their email. You might disagree, but

I've seen way worse: a Word document submission that preserved the style and fonts of the sources the plagiarer stole from. As in, font "Calibri 14" only appeared in paragraphs nicked from a source entirely written in that fo

Interesting. I saw a Facebook copypasta piece that claimed that Einstein's first wife came up with many or most of his ideas, and never got credit because of sexism. No proof whatsoever, other than she was a mathematician and physicist

These topics are always far more complicated than these experts claim. My case in point: A neighbor's child was violently mentally ill. I have made my house a safe haven for her children on occasion, and at times have gone into her hou

They also gatekeep coffee heavily - but maybe that's just a corollary. I think it's something peculiar to their society, for some reason.

Citation required. Medieval Europeans had several times as many sorts of herbs and vegetables as we do. I can forage 20-100 species on my block alone in the city; none of those species are in our markets. Our supermarkets specialize in thos

You're buying into the "everyone else was drab misery" image of the past. Even the poor wore colored clothing, not the uniform drab depicted in movies. Dyeing cloth with common weeds is a worldwide custom. All but the truly p

"Perfect" is doing some heavy lifting here. The string is always a non-straight catenary curve, unless infinite force is used to pull an indestructable string. A laser beam* across the room will show the defect in the string strai
