Visible light Memes

The scientific irony here is *chef's kiss* perfect. Your friend fears darkness (absence of electromagnetic radiation) but also fears radiation itself! It's like being afraid of both water and dehydration simultaneously. Visible light is literally just a tiny slice of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400-700 nanometers, so technically they're afraid of... not having the exact right amount of photons? Good luck existing anywhere in the universe with those parameters! Next they'll tell us they're scared of both hot AND cold temperatures.

That moment when you're sitting in class, clenching your fist, because the oversimplification physically hurts. Sure, teach, "ROYGBIV" is cute and all, but visible light exists on a continuous electromagnetic spectrum from approximately 380 to 700 nanometers. The human eye can distinguish around 10 million different colors. Meanwhile, you're just there, silently contemplating whether to raise your hand and become "that kid" or just internalize your physics rage for another day.

The universe is literally screaming at us in gamma rays, X-rays, infrared, radio waves, and a whole electromagnetic circus we can't even see - but humans insist on only believing the tiny sliver of visible light our pathetic eyeballs evolved to detect. It's like refusing to believe in elephants because you can only see their toenails. Next time someone demands visible proof of something, just point to this spectrum chart and whisper "The universe is laughing at your 400-700 nanometer worldview, Karen."
