Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)
Chapter 42 The Colors of the Rainbow
When discussing physical phenomena, one cannot ignore light.
Anyone with even a slight interest in physics today has heard of descriptions such as the wave-particle duality of light and the constancy of the speed of light.
Since his reincarnation, Rudius has asked the AI these questions more than once.
How so?
It's like I'm listening, but I don't really understand.
It felt like things I'd already heard were being told over and over again.
Rudius had not systematically studied these things; his physics level was only high school level. He had only watched some videos and then asked the AI questions based on his own interests after reincarnation.
The speed of light, as a constant, also appears in the mass-energy equivalence equation.
E=mc2, everyone knows that.
When the mass-energy equivalence equation is mentioned, Einstein comes to mind, and when Einstein is mentioned, his explanation of gravity comes to mind.
This is about gravity, isn't it?
Rudeus hadn't forgotten about gravity magic.
However, what I'm about to say isn't that complicated.
What Rudius wanted to do was to show Hilfi the ultimate phenomena of physics.
I want Sylphie to see it with her own eyes.
In the science videos I watched in my previous life, the creators would try their best to make it easier for viewers to understand through animation and live-action experiments.
Even if Rudius only had a partial understanding, it didn't prevent him from conducting a demonstration to some extent through experiments.
It's like in a textbook from a past life, where Newton used a prism to break down white light into a seven-color spectrum.
That phenomenon is so moving that simply seeing it evokes a sense of emotion.
Thanks to the inspiration that anatomy gave Rudius, he became aware of the power that could be seen with the naked eye.
In his previous teachings, Rudius usually made use of everything that nature already had. This time, however, he intended to design something that was almost impossible to coexist in nature.
For example, a dark room, plus a perfect water sphere and a beam of parallel sunlight.
These conditions have already been met.
Rudius intends to replicate the most magnificent light in nature in human hands.
That's enough.
After numerous and repeated discussions with AI, Rudius discovered that the phenomenon of rainbows, like light itself, is unfathomable.
To be honest, he was dizzy.
It's too difficult to understand based solely on textual descriptions; Rudius's understanding of rainbows has reached a bottleneck.
Often, he didn't know what the AI was describing.
Therefore, even for his own sake, Rudius had to conduct experiments to actually observe the colors of the rainbow.
The secret base is an exceptionally good tool for use as a darkroom.
Meanwhile, through Rudeus's deliberate practice, water magic was also able to create a perfect water sphere that floated in the air.
This is the same as the connection to the air when using flight magic.
If it can "press down" the air, it can also "hold down" the water balloon.
And allow the water sphere to spontaneously form a perfect water sphere shape under the surface tension of the water.
At this point, all the necessary preparations for the experiment are complete.
Rudius believes.
If you want to see the scenery, you have to stand on the mountaintop.
Let the child stand directly at the top, so that she can take in the entire world she is about to explore.
It's like playing a video game; at the beginning, there's always a scene that gives you an impression of the whole world.
You don't need to worry about how many puzzles and difficulties lie ahead; just appreciate its beauty and grandeur in this moment.
Now, let's enjoy a magnificent optical feast.
……
Inside the secret base.
Rudeus used earth magic to seal the doorway, creating a dark room where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
On the roof, use magic to create a skylight the size of a manhole cover, allowing sunlight to stream into the room.
Since the entire house was built by Rudeus using magic, the process was surprisingly convenient, and even if it were restored afterwards, it would be a piece of cake.
The purpose of opening a skylight is to allow for ample light, making it easier to create the water balloon.
At this point, even with a skylight the size of a manhole cover, the Tyndall effect inside the small house is quite noticeable.
The dust particles floating in the air were clearly visible.
The dappled shadows of the trees alone create a beautiful scene.
Rudeus considered using the mesmerizing light and shadow to create a giant water sphere, similar to a mid-level water cannon spell, but the room was too small, so he decided to abandon that plan for now.
Rudius conjured a small water sphere about one decimeter in diameter in his hand. As the water rippled, the small room was immediately filled with irregular, flowing, and shimmering rainbow light.
The water sphere in Rudius's hand was like a seven-colored crystal, with dazzling light and shadow breathing within it.
Colorful bands of light appeared on the surface of the sphere, and with the rhythm of breathing, it was as if a liquid rainbow was slowly stirring and rotating inside the water sphere.
The shadows of the leaves twisted and trembled as the water balloon swayed.
The originally static leaf pattern came to life on the surface of the water sphere, flowing and stretching like a liquid.
"Wow!" Hilfi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
For girls, such a dazzling scene must be very appealing.
Even though Rudius was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked by the light and his mouth opened slightly.
When I actually saw it, the colors were truly astonishing.
The ordinary water sphere seemed to transform into some kind of treasure at this moment.
The light and shadow were simultaneously outlined into the shape of water.
The scene was so stunning that it made anyone who saw it feel truly happy to witness such colors.
After a moment of stunned silence.
Rudius slowly adjusted the size of the skylight, avoiding the shadows of the trees, and narrowed the diameter of the sunlight to just cover the water sphere.
As the light contracted, the colorful light cones reflected and refracted from the water sphere, which had been obscured by the dazzling sunlight, began to dance in the air, with the colors changing continuously and smoothly within the swaying beams of light.
The water balloon had not yet calmed down.
Rudius observed that as the shimmering water sphere formed a depression, the light rays at the corresponding points converged into rotating vortexes of light, leaving spiral-shaped colored trails in the air.
This is a scene that no one could have imagined, even if they racked their brains.
In Rudius's envisioned experiment, he would see something similar to Newton's prism experiment—a calm concept, like a picture written in a textbook.
In his wildest imagination, Rudius also envisioned seeing something like the dazzling disco balls found in ballrooms.
But after actually seeing it, Rudius felt that his imagination was utterly inadequate.
Although I had never been to a dance hall in my past life, and had only seen that disco ball in a meme video, the water sphere radiating warm rainbow light in front of me now was simply unparalleled.
Rudius didn't believe there was anything in the world that could beat it in terms of color.
As a kind of ultimate form of light, the rainbow completely captivated Rudeus the moment it appeared.
"Rudy! Rudy! This is amazing! Amazing! Amazing!" Hilfi was so happy that she jumped up and down.
Rudius stopped when the skylight gradually narrowed and the ray of sunlight was just enough to cover the water sphere.
The water sphere that Rudeus had created with magic in his hand gradually calmed down after the magic supply was cut off, and gradually became round and perfect under the surface tension of the water.
He stared blankly as the water balloon in his hand gradually calmed down.
As the ripples shimmered and changed with the ripples of the water, turning from red spots to blue, splitting into two and then complementing each other into one, the ripples gradually subsided.
Rudius just stared blankly at the water ball in his hand, waiting for it to calm down.
"Rudy! Shake it again, Rudy!" Hilfi looked at the water sphere that was gradually calming down, and when she found that Rudyus was not responding, she quickly grabbed Rudyus's arm with both hands.
"Alright," Rudius replied.
Although the water sphere finally calmed down, the rainbow sphere from before completely outshone my imagined experimental scenario in terms of visual effect!
After eliminating most of the strong outdoor light, Rudius, inside the dark room, once again shook the water sphere in his hand.
In an instant, the deathly darkness inside the cabin was torn apart, and hundreds of thin, colorful arrows of light burst forth from the water sphere, shooting out in all directions.
Rudius felt that what he held in his hand was no longer an ordinary water sphere, but a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope with countless vibrating prisms of different frequencies and amplitudes working simultaneously within it.
When sunlight shines through the water sphere, it seems to come alive.
The sunroof was opened too wide just now, and the dazzling light was obscured by the sunlight, so I couldn't see it clearly.
At this moment, besides the colorful, glass-like water ball in his hand, which was radiating an extremely dazzling array of colors under the Tyndall effect,...
Rudius saw rainbows chasing and playing on the ceiling, painting fleeting abstract paintings on the walls, and flowing into colorful streams on the floor.
The interference of tree shadows was eliminated.
The shattered silhouette of light on the wall has now become whole again.
If the light and shadow were fragmented, colorful splashes of water when you first saw it, now they are a flowing, colorful river.
That was a rainbow passing by; this dynamic, ever-changing feeling was the embodiment of nature's spirit, flowing across the walls of the secret base.
Inside the water sphere, iridescent light churns, and on its surface, it shimmers with light.
The rainbow's unparalleled colors, combined with the dynamic, breathing, and gentle flow of water, create this dreamlike optical feast.
"Wow!"
"Wow!?"
"Wow!!?"
Hilfi occasionally let out various cries as she chased the rainbow's rays around the room.
Rudius was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.
After the sunlight faded, the room became even darker, transforming it into a perfect stage for a sun show.
At that moment, Rudius realized that while the deliberate design of controlled variables was beneficial to scientific research.
But it is precisely these indescribably beautiful and uncontrollable complex variables that allow the forces of nature and the beauty of optics to dance perfectly together across the dimension of time.
These unexpected discoveries are the guiding lights that ignite interest on the path of science.
The dazzling lights bring curiosity, excitement, and joy.
The great power of nature revealed its strength to mortals at this moment.
Rudeus found his ideal shining "disco ball" in another world.
Silently watching the water balloon in my hand return to calm once again.
Sylphie walked back to Rudeus, conjuring a water sphere in her hand as she approached and said, "Rudeus, let me try!"
With the help of the dim light, Rudeus saw her excited expression and then smiled as he stepped aside.
What were we originally going to do?
I've almost forgotten.
Rudius felt that the five or six days and nights he had spent preparing for the experiment had been completely unnecessary.
This relates to diffraction, scattering, refraction, reflection, interference, dispersion, diffusion, pinhole imaging, rainbows, Buddha's light, and so on.
All of this should already be contained within that swaying water sphere.
Perhaps without this darkroom, without the magic water sphere, there would be no design experiment.
Simply taking Silphie to chase rainbows in nature should achieve the desired teaching effect.
Rudius smiled.
"Rudy, look there! The rainbow looks like a fish!" Hilfi exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the flowing light on the wall.
Rudeus also felt that, after such a brief contact, Sylphie's interest in light had already far surpassed that in wind.
……
After playing for quite some time, Rudius finally took the lead.
Rudius held his hand in the sunlight, waiting for the water sphere in his hand to gradually calm down.
Hilfi's excitement had worn off, and Rudius sensed a slight weakness in her, like her adrenaline had gone down.
Isn't the stimulation a bit too strong?
Rudius felt that even if he brought a computer from the modern world and showed Sylphie a movie, she wouldn't be this excited; she would be more confused.
Look at how slightly listless Hilfi looks.
I feel like this state is no longer suitable for continuing to study.
Entering a state of flow is also very energy-consuming, and this state of fatigue obviously won't lead to high learning efficiency.
It's getting late, so it's not good to let Sylphie take another nap.
Rudeus reached out and ruffled Sylphie's hair. Sylphie's hair felt exceptionally soft to the touch due to the steam from her sweat, and he could feel the moisture from the sweat.
Rudeus gently patted Sylphie's head, his thumb brushing across her forehead, where he could still feel a thin layer of sweat.
The little girl was really having a blast just now...
"Silphie".
"Hmm~, what's wrong, Rudy?" Hilfi's voice sounded quite comfortable.
"Why don't you sit on the straw over there?"
"Okay, fine..."
After instructing Hilfi to rest, Rudius looked back at the water sphere in his hand.
The sunlight has shifted; where it first shone on the floor, it has now moved to the wall.
Rudius controlled the perfectly still water sphere as it moved into the sunlight.
Against the direction of the sunlight, a halo of light appeared on the walls of the secret base.
The Buddha's light is a complete circular rainbow.
Half of the Buddha's light is what we usually see as a rainbow.
The center of the Buddha's halo was a white light that was dimmer than sunlight.
Based on prior knowledge, Rudius knew that the other half of the rainbow was theoretically buried underground.
The rainbow's rays are formed by countless tiny water droplets reflecting sunlight at specific angles.
The rainbow we see is a reflection from top to bottom, while the other half, hidden underground, is a reflection from bottom to top.
Therefore, this kind of Buddha's light can generally only be seen on high mountains.
Because of the elevation difference there, the rainbow light reflected from the upper and lower parts can be compensated.
Rudius stuck his head into the cone of light reflecting off the water sphere.
wow~
It's amazing.
It felt like I was walking through a rainbow!
Unlike the dazzling but somewhat chaotic rainbow light from before, this stable Buddha light now resembles the rainbow in people's minds.
One of the little-known facts about rainbows is that the area under a rainbow is always unreachable.
Because a rainbow is essentially the light you see.
It is between you and the sun and countless tiny water droplets that a perfect angle is formed, just enough to see the rainbow.
The rainbow only moves with you, or disappears with you.
This leads to the second little-known fact about rainbows.
Every rainbow is unique to each person.
The rainbow you see is formed by light reflected into your eyes from water droplets at specific locations.
So when someone stands in a different position, what they actually see is a rainbow formed by the reflection of another group of water droplets.
It's like if you see a rainbow and then take a step, the rainbow you see now is no longer the same one you saw before.
It just so happens that the water droplets in that large area all met the conditions for forming a rainbow, so even when you move, other water droplets reflect light, allowing you to continue seeing the rainbow.
This is actually the most common sight when a water truck passes by.
If you're riding an electric scooter, you'll see a fleeting rainbow behind the water truck.
It's like when you're passing by and a rearview mirror happens to be at an angle between you and the sun, suddenly flashing a light on you—the principle is the same.
A rainbow is simply white light that has been separated into seven colors by countless tiny water droplets.
You can think of countless tiny water droplets as countless rearview mirrors that can separate sunlight.
Everyone saw the light reflected from different rearview mirrors.
This is precisely the magic and wonder of the rainbow, the ultimate optical phenomenon, just like snowflakes falling from the sky, no two are exactly alike.
Rudius's head darted back and forth inside and outside the cone of light, experiencing the sensation of being swept by a rainbow.
Just as Rudius was feeling sentimental, he suddenly saw a small hand reaching into the cone of light opposite him. The edge of the Buddha's light hit the small hand, as if it were holding a rainbow.
Then, Hilfi's head also entered the cone of Buddha's light.
"Rudy, this is amazing too!"
"Of course it's amazing!"
Rudius smiled slightly, moved to the side of the water sphere, and continued to observe it.
Following the direction of the sunlight, Rudius saw a tiny cone of light behind the water sphere, which was much brighter than the others due to the Tyndall effect.
It looked like sunlight focused through a magnifying glass; that spot was obviously extremely hot to the touch.
If it weren't for fire magic, Rudeus would definitely have tried to set the water sphere on fire in the sunlight.
Judging from the geometric position, this small cone of light, which looks like a little tail, is very similar to the tip of the Buddha's light cone in the opposite direction.
Rudius turned his head again, moving to the side of the water sphere that was shaded from the light, and looked at the sunlight through the water sphere.
The water sphere does not appear to have uniform brightness.
The brightness of the water sphere's edges and center is significantly higher than that of other areas.
After seeing those dazzling and colorful water spheres, this perfect water sphere now seemed rather ordinary to Rudius.
So, what should I tell Sylphie?
Apart from the halo around the Buddha that seems worth mentioning, isn't everything else just ordinary?
This little tail is very hot; it's formed by focused sunlight. Could it be used to start a fire?
That halo was actually a rainbow, except that rainbows are formed from countless tiny water droplets.
The former is extremely simple and can be explained in a single sentence, while the latter is so complex that Rudius still hasn't figured it out.
Isn't this a case of being stubborn and ending up with nothing at both ends?
Thinking about this, Rudeus also felt a bit tired. Considering Sylphie's condition, he realized that high-intensity study was not suitable for her.
Why don't we head home today?
