Since you won't take my word for it, and seem incapable of seeing that your schoolboy physics doesn't apply in the real world, trying reading the research by Raymond L. Lee, Jr. in his 1991 paper: “What are ‘all the colors of the rainbow’?”. I'll quote one paragraph from the intro that supports everything I've been saying above: Some 50 years ago, Humphreys pointedly noted that "the 'explanations' generally given of the rainbow [in textbooks] may well be said to explain beautifully that which does not occur, and to leave unexplained that which does.' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
