Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Pink isn't real. There is no wavelength of light that is pink.

Pink is real, or you couldn't see it. And you couldn't see it unless light was bringing it to your eyes.

For pink light to be perceived, it needs red cones to fully react, and both green and blue cones to only partially activate.

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

Light frequencies between blue and red don't exist.
