Glass Prisms
What is more iconic & associated with Sir Isaac Newton, a falling apple or glass prism? One reminds us his work on gravity held sway for centuries until Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. The other informs us of his discovery that white sunlight is made up of a rainbow of colours.
These simple devices still anchor basic physics lab experiments but have found new, unrelated uses as gifts and trade show promotional items.
Prism Paperweights
What item from the past still used today is tomorrow’s millennial antique? A paperweight surely. Closed windows & air conditioning keep loose leaf from taking flight but for some that neatly stacked paper still says : “things to do”.
Perhaps you’re an engineering prof with a stack of papers to grade or research grants to submit. Maybe this will inspire you to create a tireless assistant to do it for you.
Maybe you’re a city worker in a climate warmed country thinking about the last time you had to plow snow. Now there is only paperwork in aid of snowfall statistics.
Prism Rulers
When is the last time you needed a ruler? Probably the last time you had to use a pencil to draw a straight line. But, if metric still has you baffled & your Internet connection is dead, maybe this will help you relate to inches.
Metric & inch ruler markings on the bottom face of the prism. You never know when you’ll need to measure the height of that stack of paper.
One face for rulers; the other to remind you of the thoughtful person/company who gave it to you..
Of course, there is nothing to say you can’t just put your glass prisms on window shelves & watch rainbows warm up your room while tracking the sun’s daily passage.
