Universe Is Beige, Not Turquoise
from the phew dept
Ok. When it was announced a couple months ago that the "true" color of the universe was "turquoise", I thought the whole thing was a little silly. But, now it turns out that the scientists behind the study were wrong - which makes the story that much more amusing. That's right. The universe is not at all turquoise, but beige. Turns out they had a software bug that made the beige seem turquoise. In other words, we were looking at the universe with a color blind computer to determine the real color. Oops. So, for those of you who were building your new wardrobe around the color of the universe, time to start over again. Update: It occurs to me that I should have said (jokingly, of course) that this proves that God uses PCs and not iMacs... (it's a joke, laugh).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
