This video is inherently wrong, btw, that's not how vision and colors work. Colors exist in objects, independent of your perception, to even suggest otherwise is ridiculous. but I guess it's just cheap clickbait for layman.
@@reconon Colours don't exist, that's the problem. Frequency of light exists, wavelength exists, but only our vision translates the energy of the photon into the information in our brain called colour. Or try to explain how your "red" looks
When I was in 5th grade I asked my teacher this same question of is your red the same as mine? And if you throw a ball 100mph, and I drive a motorcycle 100mph right next to it, would I be able to reach out and grab it and not feel any force from the ball? She told me I need to stop wondering about such nonsense. It made me sad and I’ll never forget it.
11 years ago this was the first Vsauce video I ever watched. It blew my mind and I was immediately hooked on Vsauce's particular brand of science videos
IF we can identify the same colour as "Blue" Then why is it such a long stretch to assume we all perceive it the same way? its not like we're a different species.
Man, I remember those days, good old days when sometimes red was actually red and red was red instead of red, but you couldnt tell bc it was all black and white
Something I had in my brain for a while... So you exist right now. You do what you do and think what you think. And other people do that too, but you can only experience yourself. So you all exist, and when you die, you no longer exist. So when you die, you are gone. But how? And think of the universe. It’s exists. And according to science the universe is expanding, which means it does have an end. Then what’s outside of the end? It can’t be an endless loop of things outside, just like the universe can’t be endless. And if nothing exists, then how does it work? Nothing has to exist but if nothing exists, what is the world? Nothing? And how does that work? Nothing exists, and there is 100% nothing. But what is there when there is nothing?? I don’t even know if you will get it (or even read it)
But what you refer to as "alone" is based on previous experiences, and based on the fact you think it is possible not to be "alone" (because if it is possible to be alone, it is also possible to not be alone). If you think it's possible not to be "alone" it means you've experienced not being "alone" before, even though, at that time, you were still "alone in your mind", so it's a contradiction. Most of the times you start feeling this way, or feeling that nothing makes sense, it is a flawed statement, because it contradicts true experiences you had in the past, and I keep seeing people fall in this trap over and over. For example, you may think "everything I have and will ever done is predestined to be this way, because that's how matter works. If I were to create a 100% perfect computer simulation of the Big Bang, everything would repeat itself and the necessary information for the whole universe would already be contained and determined in the Big Bang. Therefore I have no free will, because I am just matter reacting to other matter". The last sentence is a flawed statement. Just because you dwelved deeper into how things work, it doesn't mean you don't have "free will". In the past, you have made choices, by which you defined "free will" to yourself. Now you claim that your own definition of "free will" doesn't exist to you even though you've experienced it and defined it in the past. I might have ranted for wayy too long but I always wanted to talk about this
Yeah I was thinking of this as well. Like we all describe red as warm because we are used to it being the colour of hot things, such as fire. But if fire was blue and ice was red, people would say blue is a hot colour and red is a cold colour.
This video is a thought I've had forever. Man it's crazy how there's no way of knowing what other people's consciousnesses are like. To be human is to be alone
@@mantvydascepas1912 Hey dude it's just an observation. I don't fully think people are actually alone. It's just one way of looking at it because most people are unable to truly know what someone else is thinking so sometimes people feel alone. It's just an element of out divided consciousness, but yes we are moving to a place where consciousness will be connected. Science is finding out consciousness is a field and not just individual beings. I don't take things including myself so seriously so I know whenever I make an observation that I can easily contradict it. That's just life.
@@mantvydascepas1912 Yeah, that's your perpesctive. But, despite having a strong community, we can never truly understand, can never look into other's minds to know their perpesctive of the world. What if, my red is your blue, my sweet is your bitter, etc ? We can never know. We can feel like we are expressing the world, but it is just feeling made up by our senses and our minds. Senses and minds can be tricked by illusions. And yet, these are the only sources of information we get. So we are all alone in our minds, never be able to access to the truth, but only the approximate truth. Of course, this is a strangle view of the world. Much people prefer your perpesctive, because it is considered healthier. This is just a shower thought. You can watch a video titled "Is anything real ?" by Vsauce.

It's amazing i'm just discovering this channel when it has had so many of my ridiculous questions of my incredibly creative mind and the most important existential crisis moments since i was 5-10 years old
I also had the same question for a long time, but whenever I tried explaining it to anybody they would think I was crazy😂. I don't know if I couldn't explain myself or maybe they didn't have mind theory😂
Vsauce, you were in the toughest times of my life, and the hapiest times of my life. you brung me joy, in both of them, so now to celebrate you helping me through my life. i go back to my first Vsauce video i ever watched, to thank you. thank you for being here. and as always, thanks for the awesome videos.
It's more than Highly Probable that Chocolate tastes either the same or damn-near the same to all humans who eat it. I think colour is the same. Everyone sees either the exact same red, or a damn-close shade of the same red we all see.
or i always wondered what blind persons are "seeing" when they are not able to see. then i saw a r/askreddit post about that some guy that was blind and is now able to see and while i was looking at the comments i got my answer: he said actually they see "nothing" not black or white or anything, just nothing. And best way to understand this is to close one of your eyes. You will only see the vision in your open eye and you wont really see black with the closed eye like when you close both of your eyes Edit: fixed spelling mistakes sorry english isnt my first language
More difficult I think. It's like discovering a completely new sense. After all, a deaf person can't understand the sensation of hearing even if he can see. But we can see so a new color wouldn't be that surprising if we compare it to a blind person seeing for the first time.
Does this mean we could all have the same favorite color? Maybe we only perceive different colors as the same favorite color, therefore every human has the same favorite color, that they perceive from different colors. Lets say the perception of purple is everyone's favorite color, and someone perceives green as purple, making green that persons favorite color. Or maybe, someone perceives yellow as purple, making yellow that persons favorite color. What if our brains only perceive the same favorite color from different colors, and everyone has the same favorite color?
Not all is lost. Wavelength is the same to everyone. It's just our interpretation of that wavelength. So we can both say wavelength 'x' is within the visible range, and it has a numeric value. How our brains assign a colour to that wavelength though is completely subjective. It's like how some birds perhaps see UV, but we don't. We know UV wavelengths are there, and they have a value, but our brain has no subjective way to interpret that value, whilst birds do. My favourite example is sonar. Bats 'see' via sonar. But what is it like for a bat to 'see' like that? Is it like hearing? It a mental image made in their minds? What is that mental image like? We can never know. Our brains are just not evolved to function like that.
Ever heard of the mantis shrimp they can apparently see a broader spectrum with more colors than any human can see maybe color isnt realy there but in a way theres more of it than we can concieve
***** What I think treycott3 is trying to explain is: because the spectrum has a vastly large amount of waves that we currently cannot see, the potential of various colors for the brain to interpret is there if a species were ever capable of ever processing all those wavelengths.
maaaaaan, I had this question like since I was eleven If I'd only knew that there was a Vsauce video about it or if I had spoken english back then, this question wouldn't tortured me back in the day
That’s the whole point of his channel. He said this in a TEDtalk saying that he wants to have the viewer think for themselves and he thinks that asking questions is the best way to learn. Since he asks questions to his questions, he can help the viewer think for themselves in a better way and have a deeper understanding of the topic.
what if everyone favorite color is the same color, like one person is blue, and someone els is green, but its the same in our heads, i dont know how to explain this lol.
If you really want to know for sure, go on a computer with a color chart/picker and look for the same color, maybe say the darkest red before it turns pink, teal, etc. you can compare how fsr apart your selections were/the hex code
GoldenMiru I'd say not, because of how some colors like blue can calm us down, and red makes us more agressive. Surely it's unique to the colour and not the perception...
I had this exact same thought a while back!! It just randomly popped into my head when me and my friends were admiring the beautiful plants and I thought about this exact same thing
I know how to find out whether we see colors the same way or not, it is a set of simple questions I came up with, and if you answer those questions the same way I do then it could mean that we do all see colors the same way. Do you want me to ask you those colorful questions?
I was eating a KitKat as Michael said “I can’t climb inside your consciousness and experience what chocolate tastes like to you” and it legit freaked me out a bit haha
Like, I will say "What if the way I see green is the way you see purple? Yet you call it green and know it as green?" My sister will be all like "UMMM ARE YOU CALLING ME STUPID CUZ IM NOT!!!" And I'm like, "Well, you kind of are, you don't understand." And then she gets all irritated at me.
Cecelia Maggard you are not alone :) my girlfriend theorized that as well back when she was in kindergarten and her classmates laughed at her. just goes to show how people react to different ideas
I dont know about that. I mean if we all are not colorblind then we all see the same colors. So if we look at the rainbow and all are not colorblind at all (tried the test that shows if we are or not) than we all should see the same exact colors. Now if I'm not colorblind and someone else is and sees red as green or brown or something but still calls it red then yeah we could all have the same favorite color but think they are different colors despite calling it the same name.
Jake Suhr you missed the entire point of the discussion. lets say we have a blue marker everyone can agree that the markers blue. but one person sees the blue marker as what you would think was red, another sees the blue marker but their blue is your green. so we all learned this color was blue from childhood but the actual colors seen do not match if you could somehow see through anothers vision & brains interpretation
anyone else think of this concept as a young child, only to now discover they weren't the only person who thought of it?

Its been 6 years and this video still freaks me out
Why? xd
@@alienmapping3536 cause he pussy
What freaks me out is that this idea annoyed my mind when I was around six years old.

Vsauce, you were in the toughest times of my life, and the hapiest times of my life.
you brung me joy, in both of them, so now to celebrate you helping me through my life.
i go back to my first Vsauce video i ever watched, to thank you. thank you for being here.
and as always, thanks for the awesome videos.
Vsauce: But is your red the same as my red?

It's more than Highly Probable that Chocolate tastes either the same or damn-near the same to all humans who eat it. I think colour is the same. Everyone sees either the exact same red, or a damn-close shade of the same red we all see.
True, but we don’t know
@henrysanecdotes5323 just like what he said in the vid. Use your theory of mind and ask ppl if it's same or not😅😅
Trying to make a blind person understand what color is, is about as hard as us trying to think of or invent a completely new color we've never seen.
You'd have to biologically alter our eyes to be able to see currently invisible colours, it is actually a future possible though
@@nathanboy9866 Man, that'd be damn interesting if possible
@@sarcasm-83 probably will be in hundreds of years!
or i always wondered what blind persons are "seeing" when they are not able to see. then i saw a r/askreddit post about that some guy that was blind and is now able to see and while i was looking at the comments i got my answer: he said actually they see "nothing" not black or white or anything, just nothing. And best way to understand this is to close one of your eyes. You will only see the vision in your open eye and you wont really see black with the closed eye like when you close both of your eyes
Edit: fixed spelling mistakes sorry english isnt my first language
More difficult I think. It's like discovering a completely new sense. After all, a deaf person can't understand the sensation of hearing even if he can see. But we can see so a new color wouldn't be that surprising if we compare it to a blind person seeing for the first time.
I was literally just having an existential crisis over this a week ago, now I see vsauce made a video about it 7 years ago and am only noticing now
Bruh same
Yeah bro we will die
Lol same
same i swear

I ALWAYS EXPLAINED THIS THEORY TO MY FRIENDS EVEN BEFORE I WATCHED THIS VIDEO
i did too but they always make fun of me xD
Me too, I didnt thinked so many people do too.
I did, and then my friend was like "Isn't that color blindness?"
I didn't, because I didn't want to be the "weirdo" in our Group
I did and nobody understood
Does this mean we could all have the same favorite color? Maybe we only perceive different colors as the same favorite color, therefore every human has the same favorite color, that they perceive from different colors. Lets say the perception of purple is everyone's favorite color, and someone perceives green as purple, making green that persons favorite color. Or maybe, someone perceives yellow as purple, making yellow that persons favorite color. What if our brains only perceive the same favorite color from different colors, and everyone has the same favorite color?
I have been thinking about this for ages! I'm not alone!
Same! No joke I've been thinking about this since I was 9
Same 😂
I have always tried to explain this to my parents and friends but now I've found this video so I just show them this
I've asked this question when I was in first grade and everyone thought I was insane XD
me too me and my friend have thought on this for 3 years now XD
I’ll take “concepts that terrorized me endlessly as a child” for 500, Alex.

I thought about that when I was 5, along with some dumb 💩 like “ what if everyone is ROBOTS AND IM NORMAL?! 😰😭😱 “ LMAOO

Or are they..?

@@lukky6648 of course
*music plays
This is a joke *(0R IS IT??)*
Roses are red
Violets are violet for fucks sake
"There's no such thing as colour, its in our heads" Ahhh that nearly made my head blow up.
Not all is lost. Wavelength is the same to everyone. It's just our interpretation of that wavelength. So we can both say wavelength 'x' is within the visible range, and it has a numeric value. How our brains assign a colour to that wavelength though is completely subjective.
It's like how some birds perhaps see UV, but we don't. We know UV wavelengths are there, and they have a value, but our brain has no subjective way to interpret that value, whilst birds do.
My favourite example is sonar. Bats 'see' via sonar. But what is it like for a bat to 'see' like that? Is it like hearing? It a mental image made in their minds? What is that mental image like? We can never know. Our brains are just not evolved to function like that.
Ever heard of the mantis shrimp they can apparently see a broader spectrum with more colors than any human can see maybe color isnt realy there but in a way theres more of it than we can concieve
treycott3 What?
Howtoeatpineapples It didn't seem much of a question, more of something you say when you've been drinking.
***** What I think treycott3 is trying to explain is: because the spectrum has a vastly large amount of waves that we currently cannot see, the potential of various colors for the brain to interpret is there if a species were ever capable of ever processing all those wavelengths.
At this point, Vsauce could swap any two random video’s thumbnail and I wouldn’t notice.

We're Vsauce, you're talking about Michael.
@LolHow I was about to say-
I would argue that ANY animal that experiences curiousity is asking questions in its head
ikr
Its not the question about knowing smth. But question about permission.
Always wondered this! If someone sees green how I see red, we wouldn't know because we were taught to call it red.
Didn't watch the vid, but the first minute says the same thing.
IT'S WHITE AND BLUE
That's how you see it.
+Eden King IT'S BLACK AND GOLD

That’s the whole point of his channel. He said this in a TEDtalk saying that he wants to have the viewer think for themselves and he thinks that asking questions is the best way to learn. Since he asks questions to his questions, he can help the viewer think for themselves in a better way and have a deeper understanding of the topic.
what if everyone favorite color is the same color, like one person is blue, and someone els is green, but its the same in our heads, i dont know how to explain this lol.

I had this same thought for so long, and ive tried explaining it to my friends but nobody ever understands. This video was a big help
If you really want to know for sure, go on a computer with a color chart/picker and look for the same color, maybe say the darkest red before it turns pink, teal, etc. you can compare how fsr apart your selections were/the hex code

What if we all have the same favourite colour we just don't know it???
mabey, becaus in that case everybody loves yellow!! jk :)
MBG Gaming in my opinion yellow is the most plain colour ever
too much yellow makes my eyes hurt
GoldenMiru I'd say not, because of how some colors like blue can calm us down, and red makes us more agressive. Surely it's unique to the colour and not the perception...
False. I do not have a favourite colour, thus disproving your hypothesis.
I had this exact same thought a while back!! It just randomly popped into my head when me and my friends were admiring the beautiful plants and I thought about this exact same thing

So hypothetically we could all have to same favourite colour
Wow
I dont know about that. I mean if we all are not colorblind then we all see the same colors. So if we look at the rainbow and all are not colorblind at all (tried the test that shows if we are or not) than we all should see the same exact colors.
Now if I'm not colorblind and someone else is and sees red as green or brown or something but still calls it red then yeah we could all have the same favorite color but think they are different colors despite calling it the same name.
q
Jake Suhr you missed the entire point of the discussion. lets say we have a blue marker everyone can agree that the markers blue. but one person sees the blue marker as what you would think was red, another sees the blue marker but their blue is your green. so we all learned this color was blue from childhood but the actual colors seen do not match if you could somehow see through anothers vision & brains interpretation
Jake Suhr so your favorites blue true blue person 2 favorite color is green your true blue and so on. so everyone has the same true favorite
