The Fibonacci Prism Array

Ok, when you put a prism up to light, it breaks down the light into it's various components (colors). I want to know what happens if you put a prism up to the light and then put another prism in the refracted part...say, for instance, in the middle of the red. Would it just spit out a bunch more red on the other end because no other colors are available? What if it spit out mostly red, but then a little bit of the edge was yellow. Then you would know that you are off by just a c-hair and you could adjust it accordingly. Then, put another prism in the middle of the refracted part of the second spectrums output. Redder still? Maybe. I bet if you kept on doing this, you would have the reddest red possible. I really want to try this. I bet it would be really cool if you set them all up in like some kind of fibonacci-esqu spiral (because the red shifts to one end). But wait! What happens if the reddest part of the red doesn't line up with a true fibonacci line of spiral? I bet whatever color does is the best color there is. Actually, that angle is probably contingent on the cut of the prism anyways. Well, let's just say that it is a 60 degree angle on all three sides so it will be a perfectly symmetrical triangle. Then, align the 'prism array' on the fibonacci line so that each prism is hit by the same color in the spectrum. Whatever color at the end will probably be the best color there is because fibonacci numbers are involved and light is a constant and as close to perfect as things get (besides maybe subatomic particles like neutrinos...those things can reach Earth faster than light can from exploding supernovae. I was amazed by that.) Anyways, I bet when you combine light with fibonacci, God does a little dance and angels explode all around.

I just realized that the reddest part of the original refraction would not be in the center...the reddest part will always shift towards the red end of the spectrum, right? This should actually facilitate making the fibonacci array. (Like I'm ever really gonna do it...so dumb)

Man Cavutto, I would like to live in your mind for just one day. I bet it is all crazy in there. Where do you come up with this shit?

It sounds like good thinking, but who among us knows?

First, there's only a short array of visible wavelengths.... so eventually you wouldn't know what the f**k you were looking at. Infrared wasn't deduced by the output of some magical prism.

Next, a prism isn't *that* great. It's cool for 2nd grade science, but the red from the output of one prism into another (physically identical one) wouldn't reveal a further breakdown of that red. It would just come out the same as it went in... yay... what a complete waste of government funding and a depletion of the world's available consumer prisms.

Oh, and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I was only talking about the visible specturm. My thinking was going along the lines of multiple refractions. Kinda like laying a bunch of telescopes end to end or pointing a telescope down the barrel of a microscope. I completely agree that it is a wicked dumb idea. I'm full of 'em.

It's also a beer day at work, so that's really greasing the wheels on the Dumbass Express...
