What on earth makes you say that? I've gone to ridiculous lengths to try to understand and make sense of what you say. You're the one refusing to respond here. You're the one refusing to explain yourself or answer questions. If people do not understand then you have only yourself to blame. Why do you constantly accuse others of being confused when you're the one who can't say what you mean, or post without self-contradiction? Why do you accuse others of not meeting you half-way then they are constantly trying to work out what you mean, while you keep refusing to answer questions about what you are saying?
If there is blue light coming from an object because it has absorbed the rest of the spectrum, then that means the rest of the spectrum has gone. That's what absorbed means. So what happens to a single photon of that travelling blue light when the object disappears? Does it retain its blue wavelength and suddenly have a bunch of other newly existing photons of all different colors suddenly surrounding it? What happens? |
Don't you see that there is no traveling blue photon? Blue is what is seen; the blue wavelength does not travel to our eyes. This is where you're confused. We see blue as long as the object is present and is absorbing all the other colors, but if the object disappears, only light energy from the Sun remains. That means that the only wavelength is neutral, not blue. |
You realise you've just completely rewritten electromagnetism (amongst other things) right? Are you okay with that? I thought you didn't want to contradict physics. |
I really don't. |
You realise that what you quoted is not only utterly irrelevent, it's far from the complete description of electromagnetism?
You realise that 'neutral' wavelength is nonsense when it comes to describing light? You realise that light
is a combination of electric and magnetic fields, and that by changing the rules for light like this, you're wrecking electromagnetism?
No doubt there is a magical explanation you can't tell me for why our theory of electromagnetism works, too.
