Im just curious, but....

What is the difference between silver and white, scientifically? White reflects all wavelengths, and so does silver, I think, so what makes them different? Its not that its the material that is white, its not that whitebounces wavelengths funny....so Im curious.

I dont think it is ONLY the sheen/gloss of like a mirror surface (Like, first surface mirrors dont do that thing).

Oh yeah, and dont respond with "I DUN NO" or "IM NOT SHUR".

You should try google, or you're just trying to sound smart.

Im too lazy to google.

Silver is a physical object. White is a colour.

EDIT: Sorry, neither black nor white are colours, they're shades I believe.

**lightdarkness** · 02-6-2004, 03:02 PM

VxDx · 02-6-2004, 03:50 PM

silver isn't a color of light. white is all colors of light.

makaveli121212 · 02-6-2004, 04:33 PM

white isnt in the spectrum...it is an absence of all the colors in the spectrum...silver must be a simliar composite of colors

hydrojakep · 02-6-2004, 11:14 PM

ask moog.

Master_of_PARANOiA · 02-6-2004, 11:22 PM

moogy would be helpful here.. as hydro said, but since he isn't:

white is a spectrum of all the colors, silver is just a shiny white-gray

Bingo. He pulled this stupid debate shit in a topic on my forums about how black isn't a color, in a topic had absolutely NOTHING to do with black being a color at all (the personal info topic)

If he really wanted to discuss this seriously, he would've put it in Critical Thinking and not Chit Chat.

QreepyBORIS · 02-7-2004, 12:13 PM

Nobody looks in critical thinking, and like, everyone there is stupid (everyone who would probably look at it).

And how is "OMG LIEK CULURZ LIEK DIFFRINT" pretending to be smart? Its a fucking question.

I think I did a quote for that post in your forums. Christ, stop whining.
