16:23 if this was true then the rainbow would look like it's vibrating, but this is not the case. The reason we see a static rainbow is not because millions of droplets are refracting light into our eyes, the reason is because there is one singular source of something round giving that refraction. The firmament.

Fantastic Video on Rainbow!!
@jessicaurbina2402 Says:
Great video, thanks
@damericanman Says:
In short, a rainbow is a dance of frequencies between light and the medium by which it is perceived?
@kevinford9959 Says:
That's a double rainbow

im a 7th grader watching this......
my brain is fried 🥀
@rawabism6455 Says:
thank you for this awesome explanation
@Yiahcoshisaa1 Says:
I had the same question from my children. This Veritasium video addressed the question so deeply
@UltimatePowa Says:
I wish you were my Dad
@kalym3646 Says:
Can you travel to the end of a rainbow, or as you said, since rainbow are different for every person, it's impossible?
@АнатолийВиноградов-щ6я Says:
The explanation of light refraction finally made sense to me.
@cookiigames Says:
5:40 what about if we didnt think of it as changing the speed of light but the shape or form of light?
@juanwatsin2655 Says:
Amazing,, watching this it unlocked something in me, 😮
@tombusby2333 Says:
Can you use the rainbow to measure the distance to the sun?
@Jeff-ye6so Says:
making an entire video dedicated to a simple question asked by your son has to be the sweetest parental love letter I have ever seen
@bobjones-bt9bh Says:
this is a seriously awesome video
@EvilMrDogbert Says:
I’m just glad his son asked about optics and not who a certain tech CEO is! That old tech profile video really aged terribly, it's hard to reconcile a video like that with a channel that promotes critical thinking and scientific rigor. Leaving it up definitely hurts the channel's credibility.

Hoping your kid asks about Sunsets next.

Just sitting in a park I saw a small rainbow near the fountain and remembered this video.
Absolutely beautiful!

@jjacobs3898 Says:
Thank you so much for that. However, I don’t understand - and I may have missed it and if so, I apologize, but why are rainbows more likely to see on a day when one part of the sky is cloudy and dark and the sun is bright on the other side.
@edwardjackson9791 Says:
What the don’t teach - It was created by God.
@maiahollins2641 Says:
But we dont see the rainbow until AFTER the rain has completely stopped.
So how does this make sense.
@nuhashrahman8408 Says:
We never see the same rainbow, not even our both eyes

@arandomhobbychannel6718 Says:
Thanks for the explanation!! God's sign of a promise is so beautiful! The Colors are more vibrant than what any led or neon light can ever make.
@LawyerAL Says:
13:38 If earth was a glass ball, that's what we would see.
I would've loved to see him spray water droplets in front of that light hole cutout.

@VivekOPest Says:
This is probably the highest quality an explanation of something can get. The way you structure and induce from the series of logic really makes it an enjoyable experience. I only wish that schools and modern curricula designs emphasis on conceptual understanding to this depth and clarity.

What a awesome Creater. Give Him all the glory.
@GlitchBytes Says:
Great video! Shows HOW rainbows are. WHY is God. HOW is the science of what God has made.
@KeianhhnaieK Says:
LIGHT HAS NO "SPEED" PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALS.
@KeianhhnaieK Says:
Light has no "speed," it certainly does not slow down...
@carolberry2239 Says:
Notice you need dark to view this...rainbows appear only when the sky is dark.
@carolberry2239 Says:
Light does not slow down it reflects waves back which interferes with the incident wave.

@sophrapsune Says:
A rainbow is not an “optical illusion” (17:06). It is a real, measurable, observable phenomena that is different at each location.
@puspita9647 Says:
so beautiful, so pretty
@puspita9647 Says:
this is so amazing
@puspita9647 Says:
damnnnn, its amazinggg
@Horseshoe_apiary Says:
That was amazing
@RiobloxsYT Says:
wow it helped ty😀😀
@AlphaBetSoup-69 Says:
All of this has only strengthened my faith and belief that God is real and created all the universe to work perfectly.
@Xployt_YT Says:
The school that I (unfortunately) go to says that rainbows “were created as a reminder of the promise that the world will never be flooded again.” Never believed that and never will, plus it’s not true. In 10,000 years, the earth will once again be plunged into a cold winter for another 90,000 years, assuming humans don’t screw up the earth so much that the ice age doesn’t happen again
