Would depend on where and how it was kept. If it was stored well in some place without a lot of air or something (sealed tomb) I doubt it'd really taste much different than 3 day old honey. Other flavors would come from contaminants. Would also likely be fully crystallized.

I'm not sure I would want to eat anything that is 3000 years old even if properly stored.

I would think with enough time anything including wine would go bad.

I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on the matter, but..

Not everything does. Also honey not spoiling does depend on a couple of factors. Like water content. You can't just chunk some honey in a jar and automatically expect it to last 3,000 years. It has to meet certain conditions. Honey has a lot going for it to prevent spoilage though. You can Google about it if you really wanna know. Oil is another thing in line with this. It will go "rancid" but that doesn't make it unsafe to eat. It just likely won't taste very good. I've heard accounts of people eating anointing oils they found in tombs thousands of years old and not getting sick from it. It also has a lot going for it to prevent what people generally think/mean when you say "spoil". I was also recently informed of Bog Butter, which was "butter" buried in bogs thousands of years ago. Which some these days actually consider a delicacy, a giant leap up from truffles.

:shrug: All food doesn't just automatically go bad due to age. A lot, even most, do, but there are some that totally defy this idea.

Quote:

I know, of course, that all colors are just waves of light, so every color we “see,” we see with our brains. But what this video says is that there is no such thing as a band of wavelengths that mix red and violet, and therefore, pink is not a real wavelength of light. That’s why pink is an invention. It’s not a name we give to something out there. Pink isn’t out there.




The title says scientist's aren't really sure whether it does or doesn't exist. But that quote goes on to say why whoever this guy is, says it doesn't exist.

:shrug:



I think its bs... a certain visual frequency corresponds to pink...that's how you perceive it. lol

Our vision estimates where a color falls on the spectrum based on the relative levels of stimulation of red, green and blue cones. We only estimate what the actual electromagnetic frequencies are.

I don't really know enough about the subject to debate it. All I can offer really, is seeing it doesn't mean it's really there. I know it's not really the same, but on hot days you'll see pools of water in the street that aren't there. I can't give a definitive answer on why we would see pink when it "didn't exist". But I can safely say what we see isn't proof of it's existence.

In all honesty, I'd love it if someone could prove it really does exist (without just saying "we see it, it's there") and break it down in simple terms. I'd never before heard of this and it's kinda intriguing.

Though there is one thing I'm probably missing something very obvious on, but in painting, to get pink you mix red and white. "White" is something that exists and we can see, and so is red. I'm not sure where the idea that mixing violet and red make pink comes from.

heavy metals are poisonous because your body mistakes them for magnesium and tries to use them for cellular processes.  You then cannot expel the metals because you're designed to reuse magnesium. Basically, magnesium and mercury look the same to your cells, but only magnesium actually works.

This is kind of true. Heavy metals can act like a lighter metal when they have the same number of valence electrons in their outer shells.  Lead is know to replace calcium ions.

Lithium (the lightest metal) is highly toxic and replaces sodium.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how he answers that question. I just Googled to see if he was wrong, and there seems to be no real definitive answer. It all hinges on theory and circumstance.
