The Big Bang Theory: Bazinga

The Big Bang Theory

Being broadcast in many countries this American sitcom is promoting science in a very good way. Sheldon is funny and so boring! I really like him and he is my favorite. I just came across with a physicist Warner Brothers calls in time of doubt David Saltzberg is at the blog The Big Blog Theory and describes at this post what he explained to the authors of the series, something I will never understand. But it doesn't prevent me from understanding Sheldon and the show. Bazinga!

Light being dispersed into it's component was the other side of Newton's experiment. It is amazing to know that light cannot be white in itself.

A demonstration of Issac Newton's colour wheel - white made of colors

I found this demonstration of Newton's color wheel at Wolfram Demonstration project.
Newton proved that light is a combination of a seven colors spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).

I remember doing a color wheel in high school and it was a very interesting experience. The disc may have the right hues of the light, colours of the rainbow, and must be rotated quick enough to make our eyes not distinguish each one.

I cannot help to thing that white is a kind of illusion and if our eyes could see more quickly... well... I'm rambling.
