"That likelihood being approximately equivalent to the sky being blue or water wet."
🤓 um ackshually water isn't wet, it makes things wet. We can have a debate about Rayleigh Scattering making the sky blue if you want.
Jokes aside — yes, indeed.
You know, it's the second time I've had that response. It's not much, but it's still weird it's happened twice.
Mind you, as a former technical games programmer, I'm always up for a debate about Rayleigh Scattering.
Asking in earnestness, has the Rayleigh Effect been an actual subject of debate? I thought it was pretty much settled that nitrogen atoms in the atmostphere reflect light in the blue portion of the spectrum?
No, the debate is whether you classify the sky as blue as a result of Rayleigh Scattering.
Better put, is the sky blue or does it appear blue? Is the sky blue or is the light in the sky blue?
Not to the best of my knowledge no. Neither has Mie scattering while we're on the subject.
