Letter: Rudolph's rear

Published 12 February 2000

From David Newman

The difficulty with Michael Hill’s theory about the reason for Rudolph’s red nose
(29 January, p 52)
is that it would be impossible to see Rudolph’s nose when the Doppler
effect is causing it to appear red, because you would only be able to see his
rear end. I don’t think the song would sound the same, do you?
