Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Guy is running fast towards the stove.

It would be away from the stove. The normal flames are blue. Moving toward the stove would blueshift them to violet; away would redshift them to green.

You're right, I just assumed flame=red.

Greenshift is when it’s neither moving toward or away from you.
