Why is the sky blue?

[00:00:07]Why is the sky blue?

[00:00:09]Much of particle physics is based on erroneous quantum electrodynamics, also known as QED or quantum field theory.

[00:00:17]Here are four false concepts among the many postulated by QED.

[00:00:24]One, everything in the universe is made of waves with interconnected particles.

[00:00:29]Two, the glue that keeps a wave unified is based on virtual particles that act as messengers.

[00:00:36]Three, all waves involve superposition.

[00:00:39]Any single particle in a wave can exist in multiple positions at exactly the same moment in time.

[00:00:45]Four, any specific wave can behave as separate particles or as a unified wave, depending on circumstances.

[00:00:53]These false concepts have arisen from out-of-date quantum mechanics going back 100 years.

[00:00:59]Increasingly, such concepts are viewed with skepticism in particle physics.

[00:01:04]So, why is the sky blue?

[00:01:06]QED says that we see a blue sky because of scattering.

[00:01:10]When sunlight hits the atmosphere, the blue light of sunlight is scattered in all directions.

[00:01:16]>> [music] >> The other colors that make up sunlight are not scattered to the same extent, so we only see blue.

[00:01:23]This is correct, but not in the way described by QED. Erroneous QED talks about virtual photons popping into existence from nothing.

[00:01:33]These virtual photons then become go-betweens.

[00:01:36]They help the atoms in the atmosphere and the incoming sunlight create so-called [music] secondary photons.

[00:01:42]These secondary photons are what we see as blue skylight. [music] But none of this is correct. All kinds of light are made of separate moving photons and nothing else at all.

[00:01:53]We see a blue sky as a result of refraction.

[00:01:57]When sunlight hits nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere, the photons that make up light are [music] absorbed into the electrons of atoms.

[00:02:05]This over energizes electrons, compelling them to expel their surplus energy in the form of newly created photons.

[00:02:13]This ensures [music] atoms do not become over energized.

[00:02:16]These newly created photons are what we see as blue light.

[00:02:21]But why just blue?

[00:02:23]Sunlight carries all the colors of the rainbow, but the blue portion of sunlight is much [music] more densely packed with photons than any other color.

[00:02:31]This means the atmosphere absorbs and emits more blue color than any other color. So, we only see blue.
