I will begin the game with this question:
Why is the sky blue?
I've heard that it's because of the refraction of light on particles in the air. It avoids all light in the spectrum except blue, which it causes to spread in the sky.
Or something like that.
Why are dogs better than cats?
I'd answer that question, but given cats are better I cannot.
Why do people suck so much?
No, no, no - that's not how it's played. It has to be related.Quote:

Also, the why has to be directly related to the answer posted above. So a question of why that would have worked would be , "Why does refraction of light occur?"
Follow?
Why does the light refract?Quote:

Rayleigh scattering.
Short wavelengths(blue) scatter more than long wavelengths(green, red) which makes the sky appear blue. The sky is in fact black.
In the scattering formula there is a 1/(labda)^4 somewhere, which gives you an idea of the difference.
wtf
why? [do scientists make things more complicated?]
because the universe made itself complicated
Why would the universe make itself?
i think this is wrong
Because according to scientists, nothing else could have. :p
...I can't think of anything related. :p
why do the scientists know?
Through various tests and proofs the scientists have come to know.
How does one truly know what consitutes as "Proof"?
For example, some say video footage of a man peeing on a little girl is proof. Members who preside on the jury's, however, seem to think otherwise.
