Roses are red.
Roses are blue.
Depending on their velocity,
relative to you.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
And mine have turned green.

Roses are red
but could also be blue
if, at great speed,
they come unto you

Geraniums are red
Geraniums are blue
Geraniums are white
Geraniums are pink
Geraniums are purple
Geraniums can't make up their minds.

Of cultivar roses, the colours are many;
Of violets, most are in purple and gold;
Of sugar, its sweet is transcended by honey
And you, who are a joy to behold.

@dgar Yes, and you hold the bouquet in your hand, while you travel fast, the roses will still change colours, even if their velocity relative to you remains constant at zero.

Although "blue" as in "blue shift" has become eponymous for my game project, the whole concept still melts my brain.

@dgar is it possible to shift them into being WiFi?

@dgar That was a quote from “The Poetry of Edwin Hubble,” a favorite source of romantic verse for physicists and the nerds who love them.
