Light refracting twice through water isn't enough, imho it also needs a way to slow down the dispersion, - and isn't the light slightly refracted 4 x in my experiment 2x in the water and 2 x in the mirror with further dispersion in the glass on the mirror?

Athough i ve never seen an experiment with a 10,000 watt bulb, out of those atm...

What if outside the raindrop is actually refracting the light 4 x ?

2x from the sun

2x from the reflection of the light off the dome? And because the dome is curved - the rainbow is curved?

seismology nothing to do with NASA.

What do you mean by "slow down the dispersion"? And if you think the glass portion of the mirror is important, do you think the experiment wouldn't work with a metallic mirror? If I stick a shiny piece of metal in water, would it produce a rainbow? No glass at all, just reflection.

I thought you said water refracts light, why dont underwater flashlights obey your physics? I guess they haven't read google, lazy bastards.

Because the light its traveling though a single density... refraction requires at least 2 different densities. It also requires the light to hit the varying density at an angle.

But im prolly wrong because clearly physics only work the way you say they do and everyone else is wrong.

If this is true why do clouds float?

what are you all arguing about anyway, i forgot? are you trying to make a rainbow?
