TO end the argument. RED is the fastest color.

  2. Re: Re: Re: TO end the argument. RED is the fastest color.

    Only because the colours on the longer wavelength end of the spectrum (blue) are scattered by air particles. Hence you can see the sky because blue light there is scattered into your eye, and the sun apears yellow because some of the blue component is scattered away from your eye.
    The red end doesn't scatter so much because the wavelength has to be much bigger than the particles. Hence red skies in the evening because the shallow angle means most of the blue is scattered away from your eye, while the red shines right through.

    Therefore caspian blue is the fastest because the gold wheels, which are neither blue, red, black, nor yellow, must be divine, and therefore fast.

    Actually Red is the colour with the longest wavelength, lowest frequency and least energy. However you are right, blue is scattered more than red.
     
  5. Why is everyone so transfixed by colour? We all know that the fastest Daytona is your dealers demo bike.
     
  6. Yeah, you know what I mean! I think I said this bit wrong too "The red end doesn't scatter so much because the wavelength has to be much bigger than the particles". I meant longer (edit** er... shorter :p) in relation to = more scatter (presumably due to quantum randomness (probably completely wrong word) with regard to where the photon might actually exist on the waveform at any given time?). We just happened to have a random conversation about scattering last week at work when I wondere'd why the sky goes red. Up until then I'd assumed that blue shone through because it was more energetic, but now my quantum physics pop science book I read on the beach in september might be showing it's worth! Or I could be wrong ofcourse :D
     
  7. I've never maxed mine out anyway :D Must have got close on the track session though.
     
  8. RIGHT!

    I'm using the Science of Transformers, Optimus Prime, RED Therefore the Best. YES he had blue legs but ultimately RED.

    Science.
     
  9. yes but jazz was the fastest and he was silver!!

    And bumble bee is yellow. Bumble bees, have wings so small that its not actually possible for them to fly with but they do cos the move so FAST

    Sorry, they fly because of the addition of a little 'flick' at the end of the stroke that generates the hidden lift.

    Loving the debate on this thread :D
     
  12. +1 they flap there wings in a sorta figure of 8 motion

    I think something is being missed here....no matter what the colour is, the 675 always looks good...the same can't be said of the standard colours on many of the other bikes out there.



    Mine is still the best, though! :twisted:
     
  15. Problem with that argument is that when a Sun wants to become something greater it becomes a WHITE dwarf then finally destroys itself and turns into a black hole

    How did a thread about bike colours end up dissecting the intracacies of the bloody Universe, FFS?? :lol: :lol:

    Goes to the very nature of 675.cc IMO Darren. ;) Exactly why I love it so much.

    :cool: I presume you were "unconvinced" by my Valmoto theorem proposition?

    I feel like teacher marking homework here :)

    Current thinking on the end of our Sun says as it runs out of hydrogen it starts to fuse other elements in its nuclear furnace. These reactions are more energetic causing the Sun to swell into a RED giant.
    When all reactions stop the outer atmosphere will blow away to leave a WHITE dwarf.
    The cool bit is that with our Sun, the white hot remnants are estimated to consist of mostly Carbon. As this cools it will crystalize into a diamond about the size of the Earth..

    :lol: :lol: I enjoyed it immensely, but being a tad late to the thread I chose not to quote it, although scientifically it is dead-on-balls-accurate (technical term)....I still prefer to rely on practical tests/experiments in order to come to a reliable conclusion about this subject.....just the other day I was riding through Live Oak Canyon....it was a little windy, and as a consequence of that, when I turned to go back through it at O'Neill Park I noticed that my air intake had become clogged with various pieces of debris. I rapidly dismounted my bike in order to clear the intake....leaves, twigs, discarded cigarette ends, etc. - they were all in there....I also managed to dislodge a couple of GSXR's - complete with rider...and a smattering of 675's of various different colour options.

    :D
     
  20. So, do I.

    True the Sun will not become a black hole as it is not massive enough to become a stable white dwarf (it is below the Chandrasekhar limit). However once its core runs out of hydrogen, its outer layers will expand to become a Red Giant (although small in comparison to stars like Betelgeuse {pronounced Beetlejuice}) and it will get just large enough that the earth will be just under its surface. It will stay like this for a realatively short time before the core has converted all the helium to carbon. Then outer layers are shed to form a planetary nebula and the centre will shrink to form a white dwarf, which will cool down, eventually stop emitting light and become a black dwarf, composed mostly of carbon and helium.

    Worth noting, an element that is not hydrogen was produced in the centre of a star, the atoms that make us up were ejected from a star during a supernova explosion. The Sun and the solar system are remnants of this, the Sun is a 2nd generation star.
