Polarized Light

oxygen polarize sunlight - An Optical Navigation System Better Than GPS

  • sun make oxygen atom electon oscilate
    • they behave then as oscilator themself
    • the sky act as a polarizer
    • the process is call raylight scattering
    • if there was no oxygen, the sky would look black like on the moon.
    • polarisation is not uniform, it depends on where the sun is relative to you.
  • that’s also why the sky is blue
  • insect like bees have eyes that behave an optical compass (relative to the sun position)
