If light's speed is a physical constant, then light wouldn't separate
into colors within a prism.

I didn't see any example of how light knows which way to bend towards
a focal point in that reference.  Full disclosure:  I already know
there's no physical explanation to these problems.  I am deist.

There is no way to explain the rainbow, either.  raindrops are MOVING
objects -- whatever lensing effects that are present are nullified by
the waving of the water near terminal velocity.  Just a headsup for
those who report to the Church (of Science).

As a deist, I'm content knowing that forces in GOD make these things
happen, and finally takes a load of my mind in explaining things like
the double-slit experiment.  (Which, btw, is beyond a naive "god does
it", but an understanding of theology and METAphysics:  how god
optimizes processing and "computation").
