Inside the wire
In this downward spiraling economy, i try to cut corners on spending. This week, i did so by trying to cut open one of my broken headphone connections and reattach it to another. Cutting open the wire, I noticed that there were three wires, green, red, and a copper looking one. From past physics knowledge i know that the green wire is reflecting green waves and absorbing the red and blue ones, and that the red wire is reflecting red and absorbing green and blue. The copper wire is reflecting red and green and absorbing blue. I got to thinking that when enclosed, these wires probably don't have any color since there is no light to reflect off of them.

Nice journal. I like how you related the wires to more color, then electricity.
wow, i would never think of doing that. nice!
speaking of a downhill economy....its crazy i bought my christmas tree today and it was a 9 footer for only like 59 bucks! previous years i thought trees were like at least 100 dollars!
getting back to the blog....very good use of the idea to fix headphones before buying new ones
