“It is sometimes said that
scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out
robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand
how the world actually works that white light is made of colors,
that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light,
that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates
among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason
that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance
of the sunset to know a little bit about it.”
