Re: Doppler Blueshift

Blueshift refers to a shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength, and/or an increase in its frequency. The name comes from the fact that the shorter-wavelength end of the optical spectrum is the blue (or violet) end, hence, when visible light is compacted in wavelength, it is "shifted towards the blue", or "blue-shifted". Since the longer-wavelength end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum is red, the opposite effect, of a lengthening of a signal's wavelength, is referred to as redshifting.

Any shirt that mentions the doppler blue shift should help you do well with the ladies in the physics lab. GMV

Thanks!

Re: Doppler Blueshift

I like it too. I'd vote for it if it were in a better font....oh what if the letters were made in some way to have the radar refresh in them...

Thanks for the input. I decided on this font because I wanted to keep it relatively simple. I felt like adding images in the text would be gimmicky with this message. But I'll admit I didn't think of the radar refresh.

Please vote anyway? ^_~

Re: Doppler Blueshift

And here's a quick shoutout to my other design, since there's so blinkin many this derby:

Good to be Alive

Re: Doppler Blueshift

LOVE the idea, not a fan of the font choice - especially for a tech subject. gmv anyway, because all science shirs gmv.

Re: Doppler Blueshift

Yeah, the font doesn't go with this concept. It is very clever though. You'd get my vote with a better font choice. I don't think you should add anything representative, just stick with simple text. The problem is this text gives a feeling of old parchment or something, which doesn't make sense with a physics reference.

Re: Doppler Blueshift

So why not put it on a blue shirt?

Re: Doppler Blueshift

I love this shirt and can't wait to wear it! I had a hearty chuckle. Also, I actually really like the font chosen for the shirt--I agree, its simple.

What about DaVinci? He didn't have tech fonts! ^_~ For that matter, neither did Newton.

I can see what you mean but something about this font worked for me. Maybe next time I'll take a poll before the derby starts.

Thanks for the vote and the feedback! ^_^

Because then it wouldn't be a shirt about doppler effect. ^_~

Yeah, it's a really geeky shirt.

Well I hope you get the chance to buy it. At first I was embarrassed by this shirt but now I'm kind of proud that I created something so geeky. That it's doing as well as it is is icing on the cake. Now if only it could make the fog...

Yes, let's share the secret (magic) with the military. ^_~

I so hope this shirt makes it. I'm not really a fan of the slogan shirts in general, but I would DEFINITELY buy this one if it wins.

Re: Doppler Blueshift

I like this one and am definitely a fan of the text/font. It delights in its simplicity.

I'm glad you like it.

Thanks! I'm not a slogan shirt kinda girl either. ^_~

Re: Doppler Blueshift

This is the first shirt I'd buy two of. I have a friend who always makes blue-shifting jokes. GMV (wish I could vote twice :P) and good luck!

Thanks! ^_^ I'm glad people are liking this as much as I do. Wasn't sure how many people would get it but this is a pleasant surprise.

Grats for getting to the fog, spryte. It's about time.

Thanks! Now let's just hope it stays there. At this rate, though, it'll be near-miss history. Still it's fun to be fogged. ^_^

Contrary to popular belief, I know the difference between redshift and blueshift.

I think this hits the optimal nerdiness-geekiness ratio. Oh, and GMV... duh!

You again! So do I get to play with that tablet sometime? My stepmom probably won't get to getting me one for a year or so. >_<;

Thanks for the vote! ^_^

I think he meant that putting it on a blue shirt would make it seem like the reader is traveling fast, but that's already been done.

Oh. Well I suppose that could work too. I want a red shirt so I used red, hehe. Also, I don't think it would have the same effect if the shirt was blue; no thought towards doppler effect would be necessary.

If the shirt was blue, you could change the word to 'red' and that the reader is moving away too quickly. Girls running away is relevant. Great idea!

Re: Doppler Blueshift

Awww, oh well. I looked for it and didn't find one. Looks like it was hidden. >_<;

Re: Doppler Blueshift

i bet she wrote the doppler shift theory, and since i can't prove she didn't at least help with the idea, it should be reinstated.
