Why it's so difficult to be broad-minded?
This is the normal question when we are seeing things like mocking or even hate against people, who are criticizing something, what seems like a stable. Being broad-minded and keeping the mind open needs more work, than being narrow-minded. Narrow-minded people must not use so many sources, and the texts, that they are publishing are made usually by somebody else.
A narrow-minded person needs less work, and for those people is enough that somebody else has been written about something, and then the copy-paste is the only thing, what is needed in that kind of work, and always those people are telling that the well-marked sources are the thing, what makes the thing well done. Narrow-minded people are always telling others that everything is already done, and that means that continuing the research or the process is not necessary. So they are very close to the philosophers, who are called as Skeptics.
A broad-minded person always dares to make mistakes, but the idea in the work of that kind of people is that they want to be number one, and show to others that they also have their own opinions and way to think. The thing is that the idea in this kind of work is to think of self, what kind of thing some very traditional thing would serve, and the dare to challenge even the most professional and most respected people, who are top in their work is the thing, what people need to be over the top.
So even if we are sometimes laughing at conspiracy theories, sometimes we are facing cases that somebody seems to hide things, like the origin of some organisms. But there is one thing, what we must realize when we are talking about the speed of the light, and if that cosmic speed limit cannot be crossed would deny the possibility that here is humanoid base on the Earth. But this thing is just pulled from the hat, without any scientific evidence about that kind of thing.
The thing is that in this case, the person, or in this case man, who is writing this text dares to write something, what is not scientifically proven. But then we must realize that there are many things, what are "only believing". The evidence that Benzene-molecule is the ring-shaped has been got when the first microscope images of that molecule have been taken.
But here I'm not writing about short-wave microscopes, which can make images of the single atoms. I'm writing about freedom of thinking. When we are thinking about scientific evidence, at first we must have a hypothesis. But the hypothesis is forming from the thought, and when the thought has been got the form, that thing would be transformed into theory.
This process is very long, and when the theory was introduced, the scientists will start to look for the evidence, what supports or denies the theory. And theories are reforming and renewing all the time when the calculation and observation tools are advanced. Advancing tools are always advancing theories, which must be adjusted all the time.
So why the prism is scattering the light? Can we use the word "Prism" synonym for "Feynman's virtual photon?"
In this case, I'm trying to think the opposite way than usual. So in this case, I use the term "Feynman's virtual photon" as a static term and "prism" as the transformer. And in normal life, we might rather use the word "prism" when we are talking about the instrument, what scatters light to spectrum.
When Newton shows that white light can scatter to spectrum, there have been questions, why this is possible. Then William Herschel (1738-1822) invented infrared radiation in the year 1800, and that person shows that there is "light", what is outside the visible spectrum. In this test Herschel just burned paper by putting lens just outside the red spectrum line, and that thing caused that the paper started to burn.
So what makes that kind of thing possible? Why prism is scattering the light? If we are thinking that the photons are always moving at the same speed, we can find the answer in a very strange place. The answer can be found from the thing, what is mentioned as the "Feynman's virtual photon". In this case, the wave movement or the length and depth of the wave movement would cause the thing, that other photons would travel longer routes than others. And in real life, the work of prism is a very well known thing.
