"Well, only a specific color (wavelength) light absorbs light of a certain color (wavelength)."
Earlier this morning I was enjoying the sunny, clear morning, the white-crowned sparrows hopping around under the Red Rhody blossoms and the green of the lawn that needs mowing. But I guess it was all a faith-based illusion. After reading your posts I looked again but there was only a murky darkness, not totally dark, vague areas of dimness appeared randomly and then dissipated. Sigh. It figures, a nation given to glorifying football and eschewing physics is doomed to live in darkness.
I'm hoping that towards dusk when the effective blackbody color temperature of the sun shifts more out of the eye's passband that there will be less cancellation and I'll be able to see at least dim outlines, meantime I'm stuck with darkness at noon, a veritable visual gulag... Thanks!
With apologies to Arthur Koestler,
Rick
