the universe is green

yep, it's green...The computer RGB scale numbers for cosmic spectrum green are 0.269, 0.388 and 0.342.

"When Mother Nature decorated the universe, she chose a color slightly greener than a pale, pale turquoise. And like an ordinary human homeowner, she'll redecorate eventually, shifting to a more reddish hue. Astronomers at Johns Hopkins University said that averaging all the colors from the light of 200,000 galaxies shows that the current color of the universe is a sprightly green. They predict the color will shift toward red, however, in a few billion years."

If the image is right, I don't think the green has anything to do with "Mother Nature" at all, but the general cooling of the universe. If it started out as blue, is now green, and is going to red, that follows the spectrum of light from higher energy to lower. You could attribute the color shift to entropy or the expansion of the universe, or both.

Although the average wavelength of the average visible-wavelength photon may be green-ish, I imagine that the universal population of visible light photons is far smaller than the corresponding populations of non-visible photons -- especially microwave-wavelength photons -- thus making the true color of the universe very, very dark; visibly black.

Av,

if you come here...

hey its green after all,isnt it?

yes green coding...

bye!

Yup, trillions of years from now the universe will cool sufficiently to contract and then explode again. How can we stop this? Gravity seems the main culprit. We need to alter or erradicate this threat!
