(1) Why is that a red light is often used in dark light situations--
how does it affect the adaptation of rods to low light?
Mike's simplistic answer: Rods are most sensitive to the blue-
green end of the visible spectrum, not the red end, so red
lights do not bleach rods. I presume, then, that one "sees"
with cones in red light? Confirmations?
(2) Why is the particular symptom that comes from motion sickness's root of a mismatch
between visual and vestibular symptoms one related to the gut primarily, i.e., nausea
and vomiting?
Dunno.
