Has anyone ever found the end of a Rainbow?

Answer 1

Yes.

This is an example of how human intuition can be perfectly backwards. If you ask for the most efficient aerodynamic shape, that perfectly backwards intuition says "a raindrop". Actually its a raindrop in perfect reverse. When in flight it is dynamically unstable, and the more draggy shape of a raindrop chubby end down is stable.

We stand on the ground when we observe a rainbow. We think we see an end, but the color group doesnt really have an end. We are standing in a cone of light that allows us to see the rainbow. If we move a certain distance away, we cant see the rainbow, because we are no longer in the cone. If we move toward the rainbow, and stay in that cone, we always see it. We see it even when we are up in the air, like in a balloon or airplane. In fact, if we are close enough to the "point" of the cone, we can see a perfectly circular rainbow. What we normally see is a truncation of part of the rainbow surface.

So the part we are looking at is a circle with two surfaces. When the surface intersects the ground, its not an end, its a "line" or more properly a patch. It still isnt an end.

What is the end of a cone? There is only one end, that isnt a line, or surface. Its the point.

Whats the point of the cone that makes the rainbow? Its water in the air, either drops or solid crystals. The water isnt the pot of gold. Water without sunlight isnt a pot of gold either.

The rainbow actually has a line going away from the point, so although its the end of a line, its not the end of the rainbow. The other end of the line, not the one attached to the rainbow-cone, is the true end of the rainbow. What is it?

Its the sun. The big bright golden sun. Thats the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Everyone could find it, if they just knew where to look. Its hidden in a place so safe that everyone in the world can see it, and none of them can take it away.

Answer 2

No 2 Persons Can See The Same Rainbow And The Ends R Alwys Diffused

Answer 3

Rainbows actually go in a circle. Now, you don't perceive the entire circle all at once, but typically just perceive an arc of it. ...unless sometimes when looking at a sprinkler in your yard, you might see the whole thing. They go in a circle because rainbows are do the reflection of light on the inside of raindrops, and back to your eye. The water splits the white light into its color constituents, and the important thing is that you are at the right angle relative to the rain drops and the sun. But if you were to move like superman, you could keep maintaining the "correct" angle, and keep seeing the entire circle that comprises the rainbow, rather than just an arc of it.

Answer 4

I continually get emotional after I see or listen Kermit making a music "The Rainbow Connection" because I omit Jim Henson's outstanding expertise. I consider you that it truly is a staggering action picture and that i have been given too drained out even as it got here to attempting to attain the top.

Answer 5

you have to be joking me, no, its impossible becuase the formation of a rainbow is due to your point of veiw of looking at the sun shine through tiny droplets of water, so no matter where you are, it would seem that you are looking at the center of the rainbow, and when you try to go for the end, the rainbow will "seem" to rotate out of your way.

Answer 6

Yeah, in a skittles bag.

Answer 7

in the wizard of Oz

Answer 8

I have stood in one!

Answer 9

yeah ... there was a leprechan there with my pot of gold
