Of the three languages in use here

Are you trying to impress us with your l33t latin skillz? Well, you are succeeding.

Latin? Pah. Any schoolboy can have Latin flogged into him.

But mastering Kumarish! Now there is an intellectual feat worthy of praise! (I will not say of envy, but note our comrade's obvious delight in his accomplishment.)

Now I humbly pray God I will not be so weak as to post my Kumar limerick.

Well, maybe it's because latin is not something lots of schools teach where I'm from. In fact, I don't think I've heard of any, outside of seminaries.
Also, I read somewhere that its not strange for people whose first language isn't English to have an easier time understanding things like Kumarish.
 
Latin is still offered in many high schools here. There is a very active Latin club at my son's highschool.

It is fairly popular with those who want to go into biology type sciences.

My father was a linguist... he told me that Latin helped there, including with understaning modern English -- not just the other three languages he was learning.

I did French and Latin at school, where Latin was an alternate to German or Spanish. I am very pleased to have done so because of the access it gives to the nuts and bolts of other languages.

Actually it's quite similar to my university education. I'm always taken aback by how little breadth of biological insight many doctors seem to have compared with us for whom the only way to cope with the bulk of information was to try to get at underlying commonalities wherever possible. Whereas, for the medics, the oddities of human physiology are normative for them, but it sometimes means they can't see the wood for the trees. It really is the difference between shallow but broad, versus deep but narrow when you compare our respective training, but when it comes to applying your clinical knowledge to new areas I think we are better prepared for it (on average, obviously. There's a lot of clever doctors out there).

Atteras.

I want to see this thing.

Except that most of what you call real effects is visual; we se something and react to it. The real effects from other (near-visual) parts of the spectrum is quite limited.

I mean; can/does emitted spectrum interact with other parts of our body than just only via eyes? If yes, how this effect can be differnt from effect via eyes?

Can't there be differance in pattern/arrangement of wavelengths in emission spectrum of any molecular structure with same elements in it?

No.

I mean; can there be differance in two emission spectrum's pattern in their chemical formula is same but structure arrangement of their atoms is differant(if it can be possible?). Is it not so that emitted wavelengths travel in line of direction of its emissions?

Does spectrum is in accordance to wavelengths as rainbow, or in accordance to how/in which line wavelenths are emitted?

I don't understand the question.

Does a spectrum is formed in accordance to wavelengths or in accordance to line/direction of emissions of wavelengths?

Don't our body produces energy/ies within it & without exposure to light?

No energies are produced. But our body transfers, converts, and stores energy in a number of ways, mostly chemical.

I mean; do we get outer & internal energies by reflections of colour/wavelength's on their exposure to light? Can we think some light can pass via our skin to internal portion of our body?

Furthur, how can natural sunlight (also of morning/evening), white light emitted by tubes & yellow light emitted by burning oil lamps/candles can be differanciated? Are these as per colour differance--as yellow light from burning oil lamp/candle is just yellow wavelength?

Also; we can get differant colours of any substance on its visual physical look & on burning it? How emission specturm will behave by its exposure to white light & by burning it?

Probably, we made more languages at the cost of real meanings. Any classical or very old language can also effect us as per its words & pronouncetion. That I make take when I will start Mechnical waves topic.:)

Why we consider red, green, blue as basic instead red, yellow & blue?Because those are the ones our eyes react to.
Excellent job hanging on to the questions, Hans. I took a whole semester of this stuff (which was a while ago), and you can answer this stuff better than I can.

But from what I remember is that "red, green, blue" are the primaries of of additive light. The primaries "red, yellow & blue" (which are actually usually more technically referred to as magenta, yellow and cyan) are the primaries of subtractive light (like pigments). So you use RBG when you want to do something like light up a stage or project pictures out of a television. But you use RYB (or CMYK) when you want to to relfect light like with a painting.

I dug up a site that has some nice diagrams of how these two different "primaries" act as complements and opposites: Color Physics 101

I can hardly wait for that one.

Hello,

..or tried to remind old classical language of some basic/prime nature with some basis. We have lost some words as 'Antonyms of sin" in most common modern english language--can also mean whole comparisn/meaning of "sin".

Those are "Sin-onyms". (Didn't mean to paap it to ya, but I couldn't resist.) :D
 
Some more questions:-

Q1. Are we/nature controlled by some prime energy/matter as "force or four fundamental forces" AND "fundamental/elementary particles"?

Q2. Can these prime force's, particle/s be thought to possess 'Omni"--omni-present, omni-scient & omni-potent type of property/qualities?

Q3. Can we/whole nature be advancing as per some calculated/systematic system OR it is just going without any calculation? No prediction/intution can be possible unless a calculated system is going in/followed.

Q4. If some calculated system is followed by nature, are we & everything are under some close system?

Since you are DevilsAdvocate , you will tell 'Synonyms of sin/paap' but may not tell its Antonyms in english language. In some old classical/nature's language it is "punya".

See Thesaurus entry againt "sin";

Entry Word: sin
Function: noun
Text: 1
Synonyms EVIL 3, crime, diablerie, iniquity, tort, wrong, wrongdoing
2
Synonyms EVIL 2, debt, wickedness, wrong
3
Synonyms IMPERFECTION, deficiency, demerit, fault, shortcoming

Just notice; its Antonyms not mentioned---WHY??

It is not uncommon in the English language that there are no words absense of some value. There is no specific word for absence of sin. The meaning of punya (and I stole this from some other site) would be "Virtue, benefit, good fortune, blessing, meritorious act, good, or right." In English, to "sin" would esentially be "to do worng". So the antomyn would be "to not do wrong", which could be do do nothing. In some languages there are words to describe "not doing something". But these are rare in English. Opposites, in cases where the opposite would be "nothing" are rarely expressed in explicit words but rather use the grammatial usage of "not"to convey the meaning if necessary.

So if "John" wlaked down the street and killed a guy, he "sinned". But if John walked down the street and didn't kill a guy, then what did he do? Well, he didn't sin. But that doesn;t mean that he did anything vituous or beneficial either.

It's like asking the question of the antonym of "child abuser". No body become a "child abuser" until they abuse children. Until then, they are just "everybody" or maybe a "non-child abuser". No one becomes a "sinner" until they sin. Until then, they are just "everybody" or maybe a "non-sinner". No one becomes a "lover" until they love. Until then, they are just "everybody" or maybe a "non-lover". It's just an issue of a non-quality compared to an actually quality. English doesn't have many word for non-qualities, and actually words like punya are opposites of qualities rather that words for non-qualities. Whoa. :)

Small grammatical correction. You meant to say "child non-abuser", otherwise you were defining someone who abuses everyone except children.

The wider idea is, I think, that it is often a problem to define something solely as the negation of something else, because that negation has an import different from never having used the word in the first place. It's a bit of a "when did you last beat your wife" kind of problem. To say, " I saw my uncle today. You know him: grey hair, moustache, wife non-beater" begs a whole load of questions.

But if "John" walked down the street and saved a guy-- it will be a good deed--so "punya".what it will be named in english language?

Can it be thought that it is not there in recent/modern languages as modern/we now in this age are under much carry forward debt of "bad karmas", so will always remain under "SIN" inspite could reduces some of it? Nett debt can always be there in "Kalyuga" as per its nature & our entitlements.

You can think whatever you want, but it might be good for you to realize that there are people that don't share all your beliefs, for whom "karma" is just another word, who carry no debt with any cosmic system.
Nett debt can always be there in "Kalyuga" as per its nature & our entitlements.
I'm not in debt. If you want to think you are, be my guest.
 
What is the connection between your question about the possible effect of visible light on the skin and your original question about shining a candle on a picture of your ancestor (who looks something like you)?
