"This stands in stark contrast to most comets, which turn red during their solar visits because their surface is so cold that they absorb blue light and bounce back mostly red light — much like how cold metal glows red when heated."
What?!? How do you think colour works? Do you know what a comet is?!? Are you drunk???
He probably thinks pixies come out and paint hot things red (they are very small so you never see 'em!)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
