  • That makes me think of how it would possibly limit the spectrum of colors we could see.

    Say, if we orbited a red giant instead; like you said, red would be the center color in the spectrum that constitutes our white. Our perception of color would revolve around red as a baseline, and the visible spectrum would go a bit up and a bit down from there.

    Since the width of the spectrum can only be guessed, let’s presume that it would be as wide as our vision here on planet earth.

    Therefore, space Newton would use a prism and discover these colors:

    • infra-infra-infra red.
    • infra-infra-red
    • infra-red
    • red
    • orange
    • yellow
    • green

    So our TV remotes and motion sensors would emit ultra-green light. Or as some crazy Sci fi writers would call it: blue.




  • Not really some can be pretty big, but it’s usually pretty clearly marked, and and there’s lots of signs and staff around that can help you if needed. Don’t hesitate to contact staff if you’re unsure - they’re there for you. Hell, you can even ask them if you’re sure for that extra confirmation.

    Tip: Some things to be aware of: in large international airports some times you need to move between terminals. And this CAN make it seem like you are leaving the airport. It might even involve small trains. Trust the signage.

    When I land at a layover airport, my usual strategy is to find the gate of my next departure so that I know that I’m through all security checkpoints and transfers. Then I backtrack a little until I find a good place to wait nearby. Usually a bar, eatery, or a lounge. That way I know how much time I need when the flight is about to board.

    Which airports are you flying via?









  • Yeah, it’s fine. If that is the part I think it is, it’s a cover for the bottom of your engine - not strictly needed (my previous car didn’t even have one when new).

    It somewhat protects your cars nether regions from minor damage from rocks and similar, but for the average driver it doesn’t do much - Most debris that would damage your engine would also easily pierce through the cover.

    There is an aerodynamic component at play here, but it’s not critical. It might also shield your cars innards and prevent turbulent airflow to reduce noise, but again; not critical



  • All the time for me. I work with in an international environment, so my accent is a bit hard to nail down.

    Especially in 2010 when my main coworkers were British, Canadian, and Texan. The Texans thought I was Canadian, the Canadians thought I was British, and the brit thought I was Texan.

    Nobody suspected that I was Norwegian unless I told them. It probably didn’t help that the home airport as published on the crew lists was first Dublin, then Brno via Prague.
