Would you Expect a Mirage to Be Partially Polarized?

I attribute my success in Physics to WL

Everytime you see a rainbow thank God its his sign that he will never flood the entire earth again.

[stewitr]

@coolvideo28 Are you stupid, or just ignorant?

[coolvideo28]

@stewitr To bad you cant handle the truth. God says

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 KJV

[stewitr]

@coolvideo28 So you're stupid then. Take your idiotic religious claptrap elsewhere. This video is Physics. The REAL meaning of life, the universe, and everything else.

Good lecture!. But I was a little surprised because the explanation of haloes, coronae did'nt come out. Difraction on screen with many openings ramdomly distributed on it makes those haloes..He could talk us about those maxima being N times (not N^2) more intense that, the intensity of one opening...etc. A little more math. Instead he gave us a wonderful experience with that glass rainbow. Anyway very nice lecture :)

@echever7 Haloes are caused by refraction indeed. Sun dogs (that acompany them), too. The phenomenon you metion is called in Russian 'вeнцы'

Poor Emma...LOL...
