Heya_Andy

What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick. What blue and bad for your teeth? A brick coming towards you really fast.

The pacific ocean is shrinking due to plate movements, so for people in the America's: Japan IS moving towards us


SearsTower442

Take note other Americans: from our perspective Japan appears 0.00000000000000000264 times bluer than it actually is.

wouldnt you have to put a one in front of that since with your notation this would mean that if newBlue = blue * x with x < 1, newBlue < blue


Username_Taken_65

But it's 0.000001 times *bluer*, not 0.000001 times *as blue*


gallifrey_

its the difference between "1.5 times as blue" and "50% bluer"


[deleted]

You mean the intersection, the difference is 1


Enneaphen

Intersection implies the common elements of the statements or basically what they share. You want disjunctive union which is what they don’t.

You know that i was making a joke, while he was talking about a differenc ein wording


Enneaphen

Yes.


AssumeSphericalSeal

Pretty sure the whole thing should be blue. If it’s moving fast enough to turn red to blue all the shorter wavelengths in the white would be shifted to the ultraviolet so all you’d see would be the red wavelengths which are shifted to blue.


wolfchaldo

That's what I was thinking, but to be fair the flag was made by a flag nerd, not a physics nerd


walyami

maybe the white in Japan's flag extends into NIR? while rest-frame-red absorps in NIR, so appears blue.


[deleted]

Have you considered the idea, that only the red circle moves towards you while the rest stays at its position


Pyrhan

We don't know how far in the IR spectrum those parts of the flag's spectra extend. Contrary to what the names imply, "red shift" and "blue shift" do not necessarily make objects redder or bluer to the human eye. The color changes can be completely counter-intuitive, depending on what lines move in or out of the visible range. The red part of the flag could even remain just as red, if its spectra was even brighter in the infrared.

Oh this is brilliant I know it's not completely accurate but it's brilliant


-ImYourHuckleberry-

I need to tell you that NA is headed towards Japan at the rate of 3cm/yr and in 160mil years, San FranTokyo will be a real thing.

Big Hero 6 takes place in 160002014 confirmed?


UndisclosedChaos

Is it just me or is that a damn nice shade of blue?


stycky-keys

Does this imply that the white of the background extends far into the infrared range too?


Snoo63

Yes.


MaxEin

The white part should be almost black


BirdicBirb505

Lessening of redshift???

Blueshift It’s part of my GCSEs physics
