Re: Well Discovery is coming Tomorrow..
[QUOTE=skahound]You people are not using your heads. The green laser could be on your right and you could be heading toward it or away from it. What is so hard to understand about that? It's not like a light bulb who's light fades with distance.
Think about it this way: A green laser positioned at 8 feet high on a wall that shoots out at an angle that is even with the horizon of your surroundings. So it spans wall to wall, starts at one and ends at the other. But, in a smokey room, completely engulfed, which wall does it start from and which does it end? If you wake up from your sleep inhaling smoke, become just the least bit disoriented, that green laser can be on your right and you could travel in either direction. Think about your computer desk, you could be standing on the side where your chair is and it's possible for the desk to be on your right. However, if you go to the opposite side of the desk, and turn in the opposite direction, the desk is on your right as well. The only difference being that you're in a clear room and obviously know which side is which.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=picklemonkey]if the green laser is on your right, you're walking toward the exit. if the red laser is on your right, it means you're walking toward the middle of the building and need to turn around so that the green is on your right[/QUOTE]

who cares which way the beam is flowing... you're not following the flow of the beam. You're running toward the exit because you know Green on Right means go, and Red on Right means no.
the idea works... otherwise Discovery wouldn't be visiting :p
