Don't know why I came up with this today.....(Just one of those things...and the way my mind often goes off on a tangent, I suppose.)
If you could see one end of a rainbow (obviously at a certain distance) and you could travel at the speed of light.....Could you actually get to the end of the rainbow and it still be there ?

Over to you Magnus Pike
No, because rainbows are actually circular, therefore have no beginning or end! :P
A Full-Circle Rainbow
Added by Amythest444
If you could get up high enough in the sky, then you'd see that some rainbows continue below the horizon. That's because when the sun and rain combine to make a rainbow, they really make a full-circle rainbow. We can't see all of the circle, because the horizon blocks it from our view. Pilots high in the sky do sometimes report seeing genuine full-circle rainbows.
The only way to see the full circle of a rainbow in the sky is to be above the raindrops and have the sun behind you.
Thanks Magnus
I resemble that remark! :D
er... what do you smoke guys ? :-\
( may I have some ? ) ;D
Phil, you hust wanted the pot o' old didn't ya?

You must know better by now - Yes it can
When I went to the Victoria Falls in Zambia many years ago we walked across the Knife Edge Bridge over one of the gorges. Because of the huge volume of spray and the sun you get a full curcle of rainbow around the bridge.

To (mis)quote Douglas Adams:

There is another theory which states that this has already happened." ;)
I think this forum exists in 100's of different realities...In one of them FSN didnt want a Centurion...I know its madness but its a theory

No.
The rainbow effect is caused by the diffraction of light, thus what you see and the way you see it depends on there being distance between you and the prism. No two people see the same rainbow, because they are standing in different places.

It's the word "reality" that bothers me. I'm still convinced that you are all a figment of my imagination and that I shall wake up soon in the matrix. :-\ :-\ :-\
You mean you haven't yet Ray ? ;)

Obviously Photoshopped. I found this un-modified photo taken at the same time.
