Same thing happens with a raindrop. Water refracts going in once, reflects off the back wall, then refracts again going out. It refracts twice going into a water prism - once going in and once going out. Any time you shine light through water and then onto a dry wall, it will refract twice - going in and going out. The mirror in water makes no difference, it doesn't increase the number of times light refracts. The only thing it does is create a path of light similar to a prism, with light rays refracting through two angled surfaces. The reflection off the mirror doesn't change the light at all, it's just reflecting.

You don't need a glass inside, you just need something to hold the water in a certain shape. You could, for example, create an ice prism (which has about the same refractive index as liquid water) and it would work just fine with no glass or mirrors involved. The only problem with water is getting the right shape, which means having some transparent container made of glass, plastic, whatever.


^ raindrop?.......water (or u mean light?) refracts going in once, reflects off the back wall.....what back wall? raindrops have back walls?

If you want to make a rainbow, shine white lights through a glass filled with water.... Does this end the argument? is it finished?

Yes, I did mean to type light. And yes, reflects off the back wall.

the mirror is reflecting the refracted light allowing the light to refract twice and as well light travelling through the glass in the mirror which slows down the dispersion too, i think it presents an inverted image too. Anyway its clear there's a difference between inside and out and I dont think water and light is enough for either one, you just dont see the [glass/mirror/prism/plasmasphere/dome structure] on the outside and will never acknowledge it actually exists even though actual science you love to agree with confirmed it.


Unless there is a different detail we are overlooking.

Just to summarize:
1. You say that a mirror is necessary.
2. You say a dome can serve as a mirror.

Even if (1) is true, it doesn't necessarily mean (2) is true. Since this whole conversation is all about whether or not the dome exists (and whether rainbows prove that domes exist), you'll simply need to bring up more evidence. Oh, and before you try: the "we're not allowed to go to Antarctica" thing is untrue and is not evidence even if it were true.
