Blue shift is the shortening of a transmitted signal’s wavelength, and/or an increase in its frequency, due to the Doppler Effect, which indicates that the object is moving toward the observer. The name comes from the fact that the shorter-wavelength end of the optical spectrum is the blue (or violet) end, hence, when visible light is compacted in wavelength, it is shifted towards the “blue” end of the spectrum. Since the longer-wavelength end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum is red, the opposite effect, of a lengthening of a signal’s wavelength, is referred to as redshifting.
While the terms “redshifting” and “blueshifting” imply significantly redder or bluer light, only the most distant galaxies and those moving at speeds far above average emit light that arrives with perceptible red or blue tinges. For the most part, shifting is not a visible phenomenon.[1]

my head hurts im going to bed:confused:

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

One of my geeky faves :)

Chemistry is Physics with no maths

Maths is Physics with no point...

Big bang.... Boom

Sounds like a 1970's eurovision song! :0)

I love the joke about the programmer;

A wife sends her developer husband to the shops. "Get me two loaves of bread, and if they've got any eggs get six" she says.

He came home with six loaves of bread.

She says "what the f***?"

He replies "well they had eggs!"

As a fik person I like this one

A grade school teacher was asking his pupils what their parents did for a living. "Tim, you be first. What does your mother do all day?"
Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."

"That's wonderful. How about you, Amy?"
Amy shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."

"Thank you, Amy" said the teacher. "What does your parent do, Billy?"
Billy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."

The teacher was aghast and went to Billy's house and rang the bell. Billy's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation. Billy's dad said, "I'm actually a system programmer specializing in TCP/IP communication protocol on UNIX systems. How can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"

For the real geeks among us:

By the time you're close enough to see that sticker is blue, it's too late....

....not just for you, and the car you've just obliterated, but most of the city too.



Edit: Nope, I underestimated by a few orders of magnitude. Make that all of the city.

Red to blue is approximately a 50% frequency shift so you'll arrive like a _large_ hydrogen bomb.

Interesting section covering this on Stephen Hawkins Universe program the other night. Similar effect explains the change in tone of an approaching/departing vehicle apparently.

I know it looks small, but that sticker is actually 30,000 miles across. We're fairly safe unless it's headed directly at us.
