This is a link post New Artificial Skylight System Nearly Indistinguishable from the Sun Itself


"The inventors are somewhat tight-lipped about how CoeLux works, but it involves filtering a light source through a layer of nanoparticles that mimic Earth’s atmosphere"

Seems amazingly genuine. Video down the page.

and perhaps people wouldn't mind working in an environment without a natural light source. They say it effects productivity

I think they use glasscocks to achieve the effect ;)

But seriously, they use nanoparticles to mimic the atmosphere's ability to scatter the blue part of the spectrum, which is due to the particular size of the molecules in air (I think they even say this explicitly in the vid). But they can't have nanoparticles the same size as the molecules in the air, cos then they would be, well, molecules, and it would just be a gas. I'm not saying I don't believe them, but I would like to know how they've done it. But of course that wouldn't be commercially wise, I expect.

This is a normal post Actually...
You don't need anything too high tech to scatter light and create a moderately convincing sky blue. A box of smoke will do it (not very practical), or a colloidal gel (very practical), so long as the particles are small compared with the wavelength of visible light.
 (I helped save b3ta! notoolsovernight you're all luvvly an' 'orrible, Wed 18 Feb 2015, 15:02, Reply)
This is a normal post
But to specifically scatter blue light, and not the other colours, you need a pretty specific particle size, right? And if the molecules in air are the right size, any nanoparticle that also only scatters blue light would have to be the same size? Is there another type of scattering other than Rayleigh (Raliegh?) scattering?
 (I helped save b3ta! FridgeBadger, Wed 18 Feb 2015, 15:26, Reply)
This is a normal post But..
You don't have to scatter blue light 'specifically'. Scattering is not like a dye or a pigment that has a particular characteristic wavelength or set of wavelengths. Rayleigh scattering affects all wavelengths, it just affects the shorter end of the spectrum (blue) more than the longer end (red). All you need is random particles smaller than about 450nm and nature will do the rest.

This is a normal post Worst evidence ever for labelling every Chelsea fan racist
A load of Man Utd fans chanting "Racist Bastards", possibly about the chanting by SOME Chelsea fans directed at Anton Ferdinand "Anton Ferdinand, you know what you are"
A photo of a man possibly making a monkey gesture
John Terry, who possibly did call Anton Ferdinand a black cunt

There is plenty of racism, not just in football. Sometimes its a bit more visible when racists are drunk and feeling aggressive.

This is a normal post That's true, they aren't all racist, however they do seem to have a very vocal racist contingent
And the other fans don't seem to do a lot to try and re-educate them. Is letting racism happen racist by implication? Probably not, as these are intimidating and violent thugs, but other clubs have managed to stamp it out a little better.

This is a normal post I used to follow Chelsea home and away for about 20 years before I moved abroad
I've been in pubs before and after games all over the country and I'd say if you think Chelsea fans are in any way worse than the fans of other clubs, you're wrong.
EXCEPT for the anti-semitism directed towards Spurs, which is far worse amongst Chelsea fans. I lost count of the number of times I heard the excuse "They call themselves the Yid Army so it's fair game".

I'd definitely agree that Chelsea fans are the worst for directing anti-Semitism towards Tottenham fans.

I used to go home and away, stopped about 5 years ago when I moved abroad. I don't specifically recall the Hitler chant although I heard plenty of others and the hissing etc up till the mid 0's. I've also been at a Chelsea Spurs game when we were accused of hissing but it was the shushing of late-arrivals for a minute's silence.

This is a normal post Ta.
meh. The first vid's chant is shocking so I won't deny there are some bad apples in the CFC fan base, but I do so tire of this 'all Chelsea fans are racist'. I'm afraid those other vids prove nothing, not that I'm denying there is a nasty element in the Chelsea stands.
I remain confused about the Terry thing. As I understand it he was done for saying "I never called you a fucking black cunt" after being accused of calling Ferdinand a fucking black cunt. It was never established that he was guilty of that accusation, nor did they really even try to prove he was guilty of that, they went after him for the denial, and he was done for using the term 'fucking black cunt' in that denial. What a strange world we live in when you can be punished for using the same terms levelled against you in an accusation in your denial of that accusation. But yeah, he is a bit of cunt. And of course Rio Ferdinand heartily endorsed the view that Ashley Cole was a "choc-ice" because he didn't get on board with the hysterical witch hunt, but rather stuck up for Terry and said he wasn't being racist. Choc ice. Because life is always black or white. You can't choose what side you're on, the truth, or your perception of the truth does not come into it, your skin colour dictates what side you must take. That is so much more racist than what Terry was accused of.

I'm only operating on hearsay with the Terry thing, as I understand it, what you say below is Terry's defence. However its hard to believe anything that man ever says as he's been proven to be an utter revisionist and generally dodgy twunt about a huge pile of arseholish things - Its not surprising that with his track record, people are going to assume that he did the "bad thing"

This is a normal post No it's not surprising
he has, as they say, 'form', but that doesn't mean he did do it. But the main point I was trying to get across is he was done for the language employed in his denial, not for actually saying the insult in the first place. That, to me, is well fucked up.

On the one hand, I want to defend football fans (even Chelsea fans) because most of them would think these guys are cunts.

On the other hand, if you were to draw a Venn diagram of football game attendance and vocal racism, well... there's a bit of a crossover.

I feel sorry for the people (non-white or just plain decent human beings) who have to experience this shit, or get tarred with the same brush as a result.

It contains a rolling hill, a blue sky and clouds. They are the subject of the photograph.
