Did ‘Science’ ever decide whether Outer Space smells like raspberries, or burnt steak?

American government funded researchers bailed after $59 million of grant money was spent and then the University of Bristol solves it. 😞
Isn’t that always the luck.🍀

“This also applies to other blue foods like damsons, sloe, and JUNIPER BERRIES.”

ARTHUR: Master! Your people have walked many miles to be with You! They are weary and have not eaten.

BRIAN: It’s not my fault they haven’t eaten!

ARTHUR: There is no food in this high mountain!

BRIAN: Well, what about the juniper bushes over there?

ELSIE: Hhhh!

FOLLOWERS: Heh! A miracle! A miracle! Ohh!...

SHOE FOLLOWER: He has made the bush fruitful by His words.

YOUTH: They have brought forth juniper berries.

BRIAN: Of course they’ve brought forth juniper berries! They’re juniper bushes! What do you expect?!

ELSIE: Show us another miracle!

ARTHUR: Do not tempt Him, shallow ones! Is not the miracle of the juniper bushes enough?!

SIMON: I say, those are my juniper bushes.

ARTHUR: They are a gift from God!

SIMON: They’re all I’ve bloody got to eat. Uhm. I say, get off those bushes! Go on! Clear off, the lot of you. Go on.

This is similar to the fact that Blue (bird) feathers do not exist in nature. Blue Jays, Bluebirds, and other blue-appearing birds are not blue, their feathers reflect only blue light, You can prove this yourself by looking at the feather by shining a light through it. You won’t see any blue. This is known as structural coloration.
