i had a science teacher (very respected) who told us that there were 6 colours in the rainbow and not 7. here was what he told us:
1. having both blue AND indigo in the 'rainbow', is the same as saying, dark green AND light green are in the rainbow
2. back when (whatever his name was) discovered the 'rainbow' he was living in a very religious society and so instead of concluding he found 6 colours in the rainbow (6 being the devils number), he said he found seven (a good religious number)
3. try looking at rainbow and finding the blue, violet AND indigo colours!!
am i the only one who'd heard of this...?
does anyone else agree/disagree...? why...?
