Speaker 1: free I heart app. Got anything good? Hey, this is

4
00:00:21,204 --> 00:00:28,925
Speaker 1: the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday I was walking my

5
00:00:28,965 --> 00:00:31,444
Speaker 1: dog down on the beach near where we live, and

6
00:00:32,045 --> 00:00:35,485
Speaker 1: I thought I'd pop into the ocean for a swim.

7
00:00:35,525 --> 00:00:37,325
Speaker 1: And I was just getting out. I saw a lovely scene.

8
00:00:37,445 --> 00:00:41,724
Speaker 1: I saw a younger dad with his two boys. And

9
00:00:41,765 --> 00:00:43,765
Speaker 1: then but both the boys would have been under ten, right,

10
00:00:44,165 --> 00:00:45,925
Speaker 1: and they're having a way of time in there. One

11
00:00:45,964 --> 00:00:47,604
Speaker 1: that was on the dad's back, and the dad was

12
00:00:47,604 --> 00:00:49,964
Speaker 1: doing a great game where he's pretending that he didn't

13
00:00:49,964 --> 00:00:52,804
Speaker 1: know where some was. He just goings on your back, dad, Dad.

14
00:00:55,485 --> 00:00:56,645
Speaker 1: It was just a lot, and it was early in

15
00:00:56,645 --> 00:00:58,405
Speaker 1: the morning, it was It was a really nice scene.

16
00:00:58,605 --> 00:01:01,325
Speaker 1: And then the the younger of the two brothers looked

17
00:01:01,325 --> 00:01:03,685
Speaker 1: down and saw that on the on the ocean bed

18
00:01:03,725 --> 00:01:07,325
Speaker 1: on the sand was a rainbow. And then he said

19
00:01:07,325 --> 00:01:09,325
Speaker 1: to his dad, how is that, dad, Dad? There's a

20
00:01:09,405 --> 00:01:12,165
Speaker 1: rainbow on the floor here on the sound. How is

21
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:15,085
Speaker 1: there a rainbow here? And the dad sort of looked

22
00:01:15,125 --> 00:01:16,765
Speaker 1: at me and I look back and go oh, yea,

23
00:01:17,325 --> 00:01:21,045
Speaker 1: there's a lot to explain, you know, because we see

24
00:01:21,045 --> 00:01:23,925
Speaker 1: a rainbow, we don't really understand what's going on in it.

25
00:01:24,405 --> 00:01:27,005
Speaker 1: And the dad goes, it's complicated, and I looked over

26
00:01:27,125 --> 00:01:29,285
Speaker 1: like that ain't going to be enough for them. They don't.

27
00:01:29,485 --> 00:01:31,325
Speaker 1: It's like a press conference. When it gets like that,

28
00:01:31,565 --> 00:01:34,405
Speaker 1: there's many more questions ago, and then the gun goes,

29
00:01:34,405 --> 00:01:38,005
Speaker 1: what do you mean? And it starts trying to explain

30
00:01:38,405 --> 00:01:40,525
Speaker 1: what a rainbow is and why you can see it

31
00:01:40,685 --> 00:01:43,725
Speaker 1: through the water on the floor of the ocean bed. Now,

32
00:01:43,925 --> 00:01:46,485
Speaker 1: without googling it, how would you have handled that situation?

33
00:01:47,725 --> 00:01:49,525
Speaker 1: Dad did a great job. I'll tell you in a

34
00:01:49,565 --> 00:01:52,005
Speaker 1: minute what he said. What would you have said explaining

35
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:53,325
Speaker 1: it to under ten year olds?

36
00:01:53,365 --> 00:01:55,285
Speaker 2: Now? I don't know what any of these words mean,

37
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:57,445
Speaker 2: but I've heard other people say them, so I would

38
00:01:57,485 --> 00:02:01,525
Speaker 2: say things like it's the light refracting off the water.

39
00:02:01,365 --> 00:02:04,285
Speaker 1: Ding ding ding. The dad hit the R word, he

40
00:02:04,445 --> 00:02:07,965
Speaker 1: said refraction. I almost want to high five him. That

41
00:02:08,205 --> 00:02:12,325
Speaker 1: is credible. You went straight to refraction, the light separating

42
00:02:12,445 --> 00:02:14,725
Speaker 1: or the light beams or no idea what it means?

43
00:02:14,845 --> 00:02:15,605
Speaker 1: What does it mean?

44
00:02:15,925 --> 00:02:18,484
Speaker 2: I would never clear I heard people say it before.

45
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:21,005
Speaker 1: Lights, because a rainbow in the sky's form when the

46
00:02:21,125 --> 00:02:25,205
Speaker 1: light is refracting bending through water droplets.

47
00:02:25,285 --> 00:02:30,165
Speaker 2: Now you've lost me. Max asked me how people are

48
00:02:30,165 --> 00:02:31,565
Speaker 2: made the other day, so I've got no.

49
00:02:31,525 --> 00:02:36,605
Speaker 1: Idea you have. Otherwise they need to go and ask

50
00:02:36,605 --> 00:02:39,925
Speaker 1: their actual dad one day. I'll explain one day when

51
00:02:39,965 --> 00:02:43,245
Speaker 1: you find out I've only got that porn band online,

52
00:02:43,365 --> 00:02:49,805
Speaker 1: get your idea out. Perhaps, what would you say reflection?

53
00:02:49,925 --> 00:02:51,685
Speaker 1: I would have used the wrong word. I would have

54
00:02:51,685 --> 00:02:54,645
Speaker 1: said it's a summer reflecting off the water, which wouldn't

55
00:02:54,645 --> 00:02:58,125
Speaker 1: have been very scientific at all. How is it rainbow made?

56
00:02:58,165 --> 00:03:03,925
Speaker 1: What's happening? Isn't it prisms and stuff? That is right?

57
00:03:04,205 --> 00:03:05,925
Speaker 2: Wavelengths of light?

58
00:03:06,165 --> 00:03:10,085
Speaker 1: How does the so light is coming in hitting water?

59
00:03:10,245 --> 00:03:12,845
Speaker 1: And then why is it separating? And we get all

60
00:03:12,885 --> 00:03:14,125
Speaker 1: those separate colors?

61
00:03:14,365 --> 00:03:17,204
Speaker 2: Do you need the ocean for a rainbow? Like can't

62
00:03:17,245 --> 00:03:21,085
Speaker 2: you have a rainbow over a mountain?

63
00:03:19,085 --> 00:03:19,245
Speaker 1: Yeah?

64
00:03:21,285 --> 00:03:23,085
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that makes sense.

65
00:03:22,965 --> 00:03:28,805
Speaker 1: Right, And it's bending at angle I think forty two

66
00:03:28,845 --> 00:03:31,845
Speaker 1: degrees is the relevant angle. We seem to paint that

67
00:03:31,965 --> 00:03:35,405
Speaker 1: up over the year, that it's forty two degrees. Then

68
00:03:35,405 --> 00:03:37,005
Speaker 1: why do we get the separate colors?

69
00:03:38,445 --> 00:03:40,445
Speaker 2: What Parla spectrum. That's something.

70
00:03:40,605 --> 00:03:42,525
Speaker 1: Can they be different? What is that stored in the

71
00:03:42,565 --> 00:03:47,125
Speaker 1: electromagnetic rays? Yeah, of the Earth's atmosphere. Got it? I

72
00:03:47,205 --> 00:03:49,245
Speaker 1: felt like I want to ask this dad some more

73
00:03:49,325 --> 00:03:53,285
Speaker 1: questions him to explain it to me his surrogate fifty

74
00:03:53,285 --> 00:03:56,925
Speaker 1: two year old son. Now, okay, I have a layman's

75
00:03:57,005 --> 00:03:59,285
Speaker 1: term of how a rainbow is formed.

76
00:03:59,485 --> 00:04:00,125
Speaker 2: Okay, cool?

77
00:04:00,205 --> 00:04:03,485
Speaker 1: All right? A rainbow is formed when sunlight shines through

78
00:04:03,525 --> 00:04:06,245
Speaker 1: water droplets in the air, like rain or missed, causing

79
00:04:06,245 --> 00:04:10,205
Speaker 1: the light to bend, reflect, and break into its component colors.

80
00:04:10,445 --> 00:04:13,445
Speaker 1: It's an optical illusion. And I don't even know what

81
00:04:13,445 --> 00:04:16,485
Speaker 1: that any of this means. Is anyone keeping up to speed?

82
00:04:16,605 --> 00:04:17,924
Speaker 2: What's a level below?

83
00:04:19,045 --> 00:04:21,125
Speaker 1: What's break it down to us as if we're five

84
00:04:21,205 --> 00:04:24,164
Speaker 1: year olds? Ten year olds? Is too complex? Here is

85
00:04:24,205 --> 00:04:26,885
Speaker 1: the step by step process. One of them team came

86
00:04:26,924 --> 00:04:28,804
Speaker 1: in said, here's the layman's version of this one. This

87
00:04:28,844 --> 00:04:31,885
Speaker 1: is not the layman's version. This is PhD we need

88
00:04:31,964 --> 00:04:35,525
Speaker 1: like Toddler's version. Yes, how would they cover this on

89
00:04:35,604 --> 00:04:40,885
Speaker 1: bluey and then half that again? Here's his step by

90
00:04:40,885 --> 00:04:45,445
Speaker 1: sex process. In simpler terms, sunlight hits a droplet. Imagine

91
00:04:45,484 --> 00:04:48,124
Speaker 1: a single rain drop in the sky. When sunlight, which

92
00:04:48,164 --> 00:04:50,924
Speaker 1: is white light. Didn't know that, enters this drop, it

93
00:04:51,044 --> 00:04:55,645
Speaker 1: slows down and bends. That is refraction. Light breaks into colors.

94
00:04:55,685 --> 00:04:57,804
Speaker 1: Because white light is actually made up of all the

95
00:04:57,804 --> 00:05:00,684
Speaker 1: colors of the rainbow. The different colors bend at slightly

96
00:05:00,724 --> 00:05:04,004
Speaker 1: different angles cause them to separate. This is called dispersion.

97
00:05:04,685 --> 00:05:06,765
Speaker 1: So do you know that white light it's containing of

98
00:05:06,885 --> 00:05:10,525
Speaker 1: other I didn't, but that's fascinating. The light bounces, The

99
00:05:10,565 --> 00:05:12,245
Speaker 1: light reflects off the back of the rain drop. It

100
00:05:12,284 --> 00:05:19,044
Speaker 1: travels back toward the front. Come on, light exits and

101
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:21,525
Speaker 1: bends again. As the light leaves the rain drop, it

102
00:05:21,565 --> 00:05:24,685
Speaker 1: bends refracts one more time, spreading the colors out further,

103
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:27,084
Speaker 1: making them visible to the eye. It's a three piece

104
00:05:27,125 --> 00:05:32,364
Speaker 1: combo refraction, reflection, and another refraction. I'm further away from

105
00:05:32,445 --> 00:05:35,885
Speaker 1: understanding this now. There's nothing but more confusion. I don't

106
00:05:35,885 --> 00:05:38,284
Speaker 1: think I can relax enough now to do today's show.

107
00:05:38,325 --> 00:05:42,844
Speaker 1: I'm in a world of bewilderment. Christian O'Connell shot on
