ok i have this question and its gonna be pretty stupid but here goes

so light is 7 colours put into 1, and you can separate those colours if you use a prism and its called a spectrum

so why is it that if i use 7 crayons colours of the spectrum..why doesnt it make light? lol

ps. ive been wanting some science stuff again and was loving the past stuff (time-machine,new technologies,teleporting etc.)

sry if this is really stupid im ignorant

ughh.... maybe because the colors are physical? i dunno. o.o

Well.. Get ultraviolet and infrared crayola crayons. It'll fo sho work.

Jam the crayons backwards through the prism silly.

its not a stupid question. if people didnt ask questions then we would never learn anything.

If you mix all crayons together you get the same result as mixing all the colours of a paint pallette or mixing all the primary colours... black or an ugly dark brown stain. Light isn't white, it has no colour even though its called white light, white is a colour. Also, scribbling one colour crayon on top of another isn't blending them together, its smearing one on top of the other. White light is a whole bunch of photons moving as one, the prism splits up the waves so they travel at different speeds so you can see all the beautiful colours.

That was kind of a lame explanation but I was trying to explain it simply without it becoming incredibly boring

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH.

anyways the reason this does not work is because when we see colors they are merely a refletion of the color on the surface howevwe when we see white is is all the colors being shined on the surface at the same time.

Since colors are solids that do not follow the same wave and particle properties of light this does not occur. Seems to me like you are in need of some chemistry or physics class cause with your current sight on things u aint gonna get far.

You have a problem here. In art, white is defined as lacking any color.

Black is defined as the absorption of all colors.

White and light are considered 2 different things.


Another way to put this is this way.

In health class, science, and certain other classes, they tell you if you want to keep cool, wear bright colors or white. Why white? It reflects light away, thus keeping you cool.

If you want to keep warm, you wear darker colors or black. Why black? It absorbs light and all colors, thus generating heat.

Thus the reason why some wormholes is also called a "blackhole".

wormholes and blackholes are different things.

But the rest of what you said is true. thats why in meditteranean countries or other places that are damn hot they paint their houses white.

True but we wear white not only cause it reflects light but also cause black absorbs more sunlight.

Blackholes are called blackholes because they have enough power to stop light from moving or something like this. Light get sucked in and there is no reflection or absorbtion giving it a dark color henceforth darkhole.

shit im not sure what i said here but i think it made sense. Well it atleast made more sense that the stuff that original poster posted haha


Also crayons have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with advanced light properties. Crayons are colored via using natural(or synthethic) dyes and then rubbing it off using wax. But light is something that is till not fully grasped by even the smartest people and can only be explained using vague principles. This is think is the asnwer to ur post.

Perfect on the light theory - However.

Blackholes = Blackholes due to their ability to gravitize light particles - Suck them in and hence, appear as "nothingness" in space whereas you'd see a star's light around it. Typically formed from massive star collapse or other unknown causes - (Massive EMF + Graviton Field disruption perhaps?).
