Uninterrupted Nonsense

Why does this blue stone have yellow light coming out of it?

You’d expect this cloudy blue glass to throw a blue light onto its surroundings. The light it throws, though, is clearly a bright orange-yellow. Can you guess why?

How can a light change from blue to orange? The Tyndall Effect shines through.

Uninterrupted Nonsense In this blog: things that I find humorous, interesting, or important. Maybe you will too!
My posts are approximately 60-90% Science and Nature, with the rest being fandom related (Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural, Game of Thrones) and a smattering of Art and Politics.

Don't forget to check out my Archive for lots more!
