The "rainbow flag" joke is actually showing atomic emission spectra, which are the unique light patterns elements emit when excited by energy. Each element has a distinctive spectral fingerprint - like atomic barcodes. Hydrogen's simple pattern versus Mercury's complex lines reveals how electron configurations create these signatures. The conspiracy theory reference is just a nerdy bait-and-switch to show you some fundamental spectroscopy. Chemists are rolling their eyes while secretly appreciating this peak element humor.
