Oh I thought it was about groups of lions.

I've been thinking about rainbows. And of course, the mythical origin of the rainbow is Noah's flood, which implied that there were no rainbows before that.

So... what would physics look like before the mythical flood, when different frequencies of light all refracted at the same angle (or did not refract at all), so that the light didn't split and there were no rainbows?

Could the "damage" to quantum physics be limited to just refraction, or would other properties of photons have to change, or would all of quantum mechanics come crashing down (and if so, why)?

Presumably this means The Flood that Noah built his Ark to weather, happened about 370,000 years after the Big Bang, when the universe became transparent, and refraction became possible...

Very true. And that day was a Tuesday btw.

All about atmospheric refractions and optics : https://atoptics.co.uk/bows.htm

Haenk:
I'd like to add that there are acutally *2* rainbows.
That might hint at two gods.
Also: You can have all the floods you want - no rainbows. However have the slightest hint of rain - the nicest rainbow will occur. So the bible might not scientifically correct there 8)

Circlotron:
Very early in the piece the Bible says it had not begun to rain, but a mist would arise from the ground and water everything. So maybe it had not rained from the sky until the flood occurred?
