gollark: What did you find out? I'm unclear on how trustworthy introspection actually is.
gollark: People do talk about studies saying it's good in some way, but I forgot what ways and also people are very good at misinterpreting these things in support of whatever they want.
gollark: I have never seriously tried it. It was too boring to continue for a substantial amount of time.
gollark: The optical properties of water probably come from how its bonds are arranged or something like that, and you can hardly change that or the underlying electromagnetism things without breaking all life.
gollark: I don't think you can easily get rid of rainbows and nothing else with a patch to physics which doesn't just special-case some particular scenario though.
