Opportunity missed: Could have said "Santa's sleigh and other aircraft....". At least the laser beam is green. 172.68.27.100 22:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
that would have been dumb and late 172.71.135.85 22:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Why is everyone here interested only in commenting, and not being helpful? RadiantRainwing (talk) 23:37, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Some people like to just comment, or are insecure about their explaining skills. Some people like to mainly focus on transcripts, other like to clean up grammatical mistakes, and some just enjoy to lurk and watch as the explanation slowly builds up. Don’t judge other people on something as frivolous as this. Besides, only two other people have commented and there have been 4 people who have edited the explanation and transcript, including me and you. 42.book.addictTalk to me! 00:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
you wouldn't actually see a green glowing line; that's not how lasers work 172.68.70.67 (talk) 00:33, 28 December 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- That would depend upon the conditions. It would need ultra low humidity (or entirely the wrong temperature to show it) and also a pretty dust-free environment to have no visible track of the laser, across the kind of distance where you're disrupting an aircraft (from on the ground on the sightline of a pilot) and with the laser of sufficient power to cause any mischief. And Rayleigh scattering applies to some degree even in clean+dry air, in conditions of at least reasonable darkness. 162.158.74.49 01:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
