Latest Research Reveals: Particles from a Rainbow

Particles of a Rainbow

Further analytical work on microsamples from ‘Ulleysand’ has revealed new information about this important IMoB object. Rather than being a universal artist pigment, as was previously described, we can now confirm that the stratified coloured particles represent the physical remains of a rainbow.

The rainbow was captured by observing its wave like photons at a moment of detection that fixed the properties of the rainbow as discrete physical particles. The particles have retained some of their wave like properties (such as colour) in a particle form. 

The existence of the physical reality of such sub atomic particles was predicted in Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, and demonstrated in experiments in the Quantum Material Research Lab, but this is the first time at an underlying fabric of reality has been demonstrated for phenomena such as rainbows.

As guru Khyentse Rinpoche teaches us

'all phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana arise like a rainbow, and like a rainbow they are devoid of any tangible existence. Once you have recognised the true nature of reality, which is empty and at the same time appears as the phenomenal world, your mind will cease to be under the power of delusion. If you know how to leave your thoughts free to dissolve by themselves as they arise, they will cross your mind as a bird flies across the sky without leaving any trace''   (Ricard and Thuan 2001,
