Chances are, he knows that. Chances are, he wants to simulate
a rainbow with photons, rather than fake it with rainbow{}.

Ahh.. no offense, but a rather ludicrous proposal. As he said, that would
involve a huge number of both refractive objects and photons.

the 10 billion drops would not have a gaurnteed hit from a tracing ray, even
at ludicriously high resoloutions, they would have to be to small, this is
where media  comes in

No, but I'll bet you can simulate your rainbow with a combination
of media and a properly iored transparent object between your
lightsource and camera...
...might even be able to do that without photons.

Umm.. I'm assuming there's a joke in there, but I have no idea what it is.
