The belief that a pot of gold can be found at the end of a rainbow has no scientific basis. Rainbows are optical illusions caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of sunlight in droplets of water, and they have no physical end point for something like a pot of gold to be located. This belief likely has its origins in folklore and mythology rather than in science.
