Bryce Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The ultimate brain traser: Is a red fire truck really red? :eh:
Bob_the_Bunny Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Uh, yes? Because if the fire truck isn't red, doesn't that mean it's just called a fire truck? And if it is red, then red fire truck?
Bryce Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Uh, yes? Because if the fire truck isn't red, doesn't that mean it's just called a fire truck? And if it is red, then red fire truck? But it could be blue or pink ^_^ hehehe
Unstream Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 But it could be blue or pink ^_^ hehehe Not really. See color is really light reflected from matter. That's why things are black when it's dark, because there's no light to reflect. And when you have something that's black, that means that material absorbs all of the light. So that means that a red firetruck would be red no matter what. It can't be pink or blue, since it absorbs all of the light that's that color. Plus if it were pink, they'd call it a pink firetruck, not a red one.
Revenge Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Not much of a brain teaser. Frankly, it's more of a stupid question. Of course a red fire truck is red. :hmmph:
m3l3ana Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 ^^^^^ *giggles* I must say I like readying your posts Revenge, they give me something to laugh about! And ofcourse I agree with Revenge, if a red fire truck wasn't red, then why would you call it a red fire truck?
