There is something that green algae and green glass have in common, and that is that they both reflect certain wavelengths of light to human eyes. With just this bit information, you can make some limited predictions (what would happen if you used certain colored lenses to view these objects?). Granted, the body of knowledge one could produce by categorizing the world in this way would be exceedingly and ridiculously limited, but it is not totally crazy to be a greenologist at times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601905557733644009noreply@blogger.com
