While we experience color in the mind, they way in which we conceptualize it is contingent on external conditions. Color is not a property of the object itself, nor of the mind itself, but a property of the interaction between the physical eye and the physical object. However, there appear to be many ways in which our cognitive states can effect the way we experience color. Physics cannot currently explain all mental phenomena related to color experience. The question of where color perception is actually generated in the process remains unclear for anyone who isn't a staunch physicalist, but there are studies to refute them.
"If a tree falls in the forest and theres noone around,does it make any sound?" "If a strawberry is on the table and theres noone around,is the strawberry still Red?" This is for anybody who thinks that the tree is producing sound (The tree produces sound-waves that needs your ear to become the sound of falling tree/the strawberry still reflect the light with that specific vibrition,but is your mind creating Red) In a way,as Alan Watts used to Say "You evoke life(color,taste,smell,sound and even touch)out of the universe,you are part of the process"

W/ all respect, precisely nothing has been explained here. The argument here is that color doesn't actually exist and that somehow it only comes into existence at the end of the causal chain inside of your brain. How does that make *any* sense at all? To endorse this view is to endorse the idea that the world as it *actually* exists is completely bereft of any qualities whatsoever. It'd be like saying reality is the equivalent of mathematical equations w/ the notable problem that this is genuinely impossible to even imagine. Literally. You can't imagine it, because to even do so is to have to assign qualities to whatever conceptual interpretion you're having in your mind. How then are we supposed to take this conception of reality seriously from an experiential being like a human that can *only* know the world through qualitative experience? This is complete and utter nonsense. It's bad philosophy dressed up in scientific language.
@@ryanashfyre464 It is just the scientists getting overexcited again... they define 'color' badly, meaning a particular *pigment* on its own, other things like butterfly wings and eyes do not have a pigment, they have structure like prism so they seem to have color.. search "The World Through the Eyes of Animals" to show that only humans see full colors, and some people actually see more, a cataract patient said they see strange colors after the op.. Dogs have something better than sight, they have very good hearing and sense of smell, I am sure their 'smell vision' has whole views of where other animals and people have been, that is why they know you are coming near.. !:)
The biggest obstacle of understanding the universe is our brains limited ability to process the real world.Our limited senses are clouding our judgment.Perhaps over time the human brain will develop new senses and/or new ways to detect the universe as it is and not just how we perceive it to be.
Our senses dont cloud our judgement, but they certainly create biases that are to be overcome if we want to understand the true nature of reality. Colour vision gives us a warped impression of what light is, thats why we need to learn and retrain our thinking when dealing with light. The same goes for all our other senses. However, you will never develop a sense that represents the real world properly. There is nothing you can do to percieve pure reality, without some form of representation. You always need to go through the filter of perception, one way or another. Seeing stuff in the first place, colour or not, is already a filter. Visual perception is just a way that evolution found to represent the information it is seeing. You can just as well hear light if you reroute the visual information through the auditory parts of your brain. On certain psychadelics, thats exactly what happens. Light isnt a visual thing. We just evolved to 'see'. Any sense you create, naturally or artificially, will ALWAYS be just a representation. A stand in, to comprehend information. Reality is nothing more than raw, unfiltered information. How you end up showing that information is irrelevant, as long as you show it somehow, its already going through the filter of presentation.
Great video about colors! Congratulations for the amazing job. I´m working on a video on the subject and want to explain those phenomena and some others like objects transparency.
Color doesn’t exist? Jump the red light and if you get across alive, tell the cop color doesn’t exist, so you didn’t stop and see what he has to say 😆😆😆
This video was tremendously awesome 👏 so since animals, or rather some animals, don't have the same amount of colour receptors our eyes do, does this mean that reality is in fact black-and-white or translucent/transparent but without colour?
Well it's not that hard, get a object and put your hand over it blocking the light source something like the sun or the lightbulb, you notice say a orange is not orange anymore, cut out the light completely and the part of the orange in the shade is greyish, it's the photons that hit the orange and come into your eyes and the information sent to the brain define the colour of the objects, we all all frequency
It didnt have to win because it changed the life of me and my son aling with many others and yes it was super easy to understand its self explanatory. My son actually used it for his science project and used this to be able to explain reality on a psychological aspect when he was on 11 the kicker to it all is that he was right and it was proved by MIT over 10 years later.
This video is correct about what it says; if you don't believe me, then try asking yourself what would happen to a person's colour vision if that person somehow lost some cone cells. Why would this make that person lose some colour vision if colours exist "out there"? Shouldn't just vision itself be enough to observe those colours, even without cone cells?
So hypothetically speaking if someone have different eye cons than normal such as Xray, infrared and ultravoilet or gamma ray What colors would they see ? And again lets assume i don't have these cons then how would i see objects would they be Gray color ?
Well the ones you can't see the colour for it would depend if the how the rodes, which are the cells which pick up darkness and light treat the normal colours. if your rodes can pick it up depending on how much light it recieves it could percieve it as black or white or grey, or just not pick it up at all if it is outside of there sensitivity range.
remember 'colors' are a human invention! and the names change with language! thousands of years ago a caveman could see things, but was too busy surviving to try to name things!! note that infrared and ultraviolet are every where, so if you could see that it would be like looking at a light bulb close up!! :O :O
Scince is all about theory brotha. They assume it or take it as a theory and it does turns out right. So it's also a theory and even proved tbh. We can't see photons bt we can test if they exist rn
nice thought, but.... note the title of the video!! now search"The World Through the Eyes of Animals" (it would be like trying to put a 3 pin plug into a 2 pin socket... :P )
The brain is a purely physical system, so there can be no irreducible qualitative colors in the brain. They can only exist in the non-physical mind. The existence of color vision is one of the conclusive arguments against materialism.
by all means go ahead with your investigations into parapsychology, someone has to do it, but you're wasting your time, after a million years there's still no evidence of anything supernatural.
@@HarryNicNicholas "Brain is materialist" is quite a strange formulation, but leaving that aside, my point was that there are most certainly no colors whatsoever in the brain. Take away the brain, everything physiological going in that brain stops working, but this can't include colors, as they are NOT in the brain!
The point is it doesn't have color at all. The chemical properties of the individual coats of paint determine what frequencies are absorbed or reflected and thus the differences in color
I have one doubt. How does then the photograph (which is just a paper) can contain different wavelengths of light for us to see a coloured photo. TV i can understand due to electron tube or something that spits varied energy of electrons for light to perceive it's wavelength. But photo that is imprinted on a piece of white paper do not have such constantly emitting source. So why do coloured photos can be seen in colour?
Saying that the white paper texture is changed isnt right, we probably don't even have such minute level technology 50+ years ago. Also the colours are imprinted using electrons which probably just strikes and maybe even excite some atom in white paper. But it will come back to its ground state. After that there is no more emission of any wavelength. We still see the photos coloured yet.
Except that the three phosphors in a TV *can't* actually reproduce the entire gamut of human color vision. They only approximate a color mixing triangle that covers a fairly large portion of that gamut.
Steven Varner Prove it that they cant. I agree with your position that tvs dont produce the entire gamut, but that doesnt mean if we had a different display with slightly different 3 phosphors that its impossible.
If some of you are not convinced, let me explain it a bit better. Im going to explain in a very simplified way of how our eyes see color. When yellow light goes into the eye the long wavelength receptors and the middle wavelenght receptors respond in SIMILAR amounts to the yellow light. however the short wavelength receptors respond little COMPARES to how the rest of the receptors. I write compare instead of responding in high amounts because dark yellow light is still yellow, anyway. For example, if Red light goes into the eye, the brain receives RATIOS with three numbers. The long receptor responds, the middle receptor responds half of the long receptor and the short receptor responds 0. Green light's numbers are long responds half that of middle receptor. and the short receptor responds 1/4 of the middle receptor. Light is described by its frequency and is not described by a ratio, so colors dont exist. One more point is that magenta doesnt have a frequency even though we see it. Its not a result of the light mixing otherwise there would be interference patterns in magenta light.Btw my ratios are probably wrong but the point IS the ratio itself. Also, this is a very simplified way of how it works, there's more about it in how the brain processes it.
I'm a buddist and for the young age in our religion we have been taught that we are not seeing the reality (those were lord buddha's teachings)he taught these things 2600 years ago and most of the monks wrote those in thipitakaya.And when I say that we not seeing the reality in my school most of my friends laughed at me and said I'm believing on myths.But recently 3 scientist found that we not seeing the reality and einstein's theories were rejected and they won 2022 nobel prize.
You said Not yet understood, during part of the video, are you sure we understand anything when it comes to vision? Are you sure it's not the light that gives the Atoms and cells energy and they use that energy to vibrate and is that vibration that our eyes and brain process? The thought that light is reflected off an object and then enters our eyes seems a little strange. There would have to be photons hitting every object and bouncing off then at every conceivable angle so that no matter where and how many eyes there are all can receive the Photons but yet there are never any photons that are reflected a little bit off by the molecules in the air making objects fuzzy. And let's go even further and say a photon hits an object and is partiality absorbed and the reflected part then reflects at an angle that it hits another object before it is then reflected at the perfect angle to be received by eye. Now those photons might not have the same vibration as the color of the 2nd object but yet we never see that glitch.
@@TheMysticAxiom how you could be in such confidence that science which take experimental facts could be wrong. It's fact. Don't blame because you lack understanding power.
If colours doesent exist... how can we use some of them to colour our drawings.... like... I have a blue tablet and if I amigen that it isn t blue... its... idk, red it is red

Goldberg Sam What we perceive as “color” is an interaction of certain energy waves with the material properties of objects where in some are absorbed and transferred to heat while others are reflected off of the material which IF they hit our eyes we translate into a “color”. That means “color” exists for us AS WE PERCEIVE IT. No two people perceive “color” exactly the same way EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. Different species “see” differently again-even though the waves are the same. “Color” therefore is in biological translation of energy waves information and is in the mind of the beholder. This of course makes “color” “real” and “existent” for us but it is not the same for all creatures. I would say that “color” is more like a perceptual language and not a physical object of existence.
All this rhetoric between physics and metaphysics = blah blah blah. Let’s simplify the reality shall we.... Assume a controlled environment. What we perceive as “color” is an interaction of certain energy waves with the material properties of physical objects where in some are absorbed and transferred to heat while others are reflected off of the material which IF they hit our eyes we translate into a “color”. That means “color” exists for us AS WE PERCEIVE IT. No two people perceive “color” exactly the same way EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. Different species “see” differently again-even though the waves are the same. “Color” therefore is in biological translation of energy waves information and is in the mind of the beholder. This of course makes “color” “real” and “existent” for us but it is not the same for all creatures. I would say that “color” is more like a perceptual language of light wave information and not a physical object of existence. Therefore, “color” is an brain image or other biological sensation, associated to energy waves. Both are real to us because that is our reality but one is physical and the other metaphysical. The video is correct because it simply describes how they combine in our reality.
so after completing the construction of universe the creator is now in the job of_____army_____navy____ airforce-police_____court_____judge_____final conclusion
I can't fathom how people think all this is a product of natural selection, and selective mutation; evolution has nothing to do with this level of complexity and design. This is clearly the work of a higher being, it's as if we wasn't created for the world; but instead the world was created with us in mind. The light produces certain frequencies that it seems like our brains was already automatically tuned before hand to interpret. Its like the strawberry was created to be red for the eyes; that would later on be made to decipher the frequency of oscillations. As if everything was made for our enjoyment, doesn't sound like some random mysterious process that science doesn't even really know how to explain nor have any factual evidence to prove.
Then provide evidence that we were created by a higher being. Also, using that logic, this "creator" is far more complicated than us, meaning it also has a creator. "evolution has nothing to do with this level of complexity" Only for the scientifically-ignorant. "Its like the strawberry was created to be red for the eyes" No, it wasn't. It isn't red for the eyes. We simply perceive it as red. "As if everything was made for our enjoyment" How about meteor strikes, tornadoes, typhoons and earthquakes? "that science doesn't even know how to explain" We'll get there eventually. A few hundred years ago, religious nutcases thought the sun revolved around us, and science eventually proved them wrong.
@@atheistyoda8915 @atheistyoda8915 Provide evidence we where created by a higher being? (The evidence is all around us, the complexity of biological life, the complexity of the universe itself, it's clear that ingenuity was involved; it takes more faith to believe in the scientific theories of the Evolution and Big Bang as opposed to believing in Creation by intelligent design.) "Only for the scientifically ignorant" (Really bro, if you're actually knew how flawed and inaccurate in terms of use of the scientific method; some of these scientific theories are, you would probably rethink you stance on science as it is today. There are so many inconsistencies concerning various scientific practices, radiocarbon dating, the carbon 14 decay rate, etc... And much more you would be ignorant just from blindly believing in some of these scientific theories, as well as scientists.) "It's like the strawberry was created to be red for the eye" (Rewatch the video and you may understand why I said that, the strawberry is made of chemical compounds that absorb most frequencies; but not those frequencies that oscillates at 500 trillion times per second because it doesn't contain that compound that would allow it to do so. Then the brain deciphers and interprets the frequency, the world was here first then humans came later, for an intelligent designer it would be no problem for him to create Us in such a way that our eyes and brain work together to interpret those frequencies, not to mention he made the strawberry, so he decided which chemical compounds it would be made of and which ones it would not, giving him control over the frequencies of light and oscillation it would absorb.) "How about meteor strikes, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes? " (My answer to this is more of a biblically theological kind; just stating this because I don't know how open you are to believing in a higher power, or if your only epistemology{way of knowing) is through science and if you can't put something under a microscope you can't possibly know if it's true or not, God created a perfect world; paradise without death or disease, then He created men and gave us a dangerous but wondrous gift called freewill then paradise was lost. Lost to murder, war, greed pride, selfishness, starvation, poverty, abuse of children, natural disasters, all of which sprung from the heart of men not God; God didn't create one of those, think about it people steal because they they feel like they deserve what other people worked hard for, they hop from bed to bed because they feel entitled to just satisfy themselves no matter who it hurts, no matter what pain that it costs. People love the darkness, but God takes every bit of it and turns it around for the benefit of His kingdom, God did something about all this year's ago on a wooden cross when he sent His son Jesus, when men fell in the garden of eden the whole world fell with us, and things like natural disasters are all echoes of that initial cataclysm.) Also using that logic, this "Creator" is far more complicated then us, meaning it also has a creator" (God is the uncaused first cause, meaning he's always been; without needing to begin He's eternal. The universe is not the uncaused first cause for various reasons, I mean the second law of thermodynamics which states that the universe is running down; which suggests someone has to have wound it up, also we would have no energy left right now if the universe was eternal, because the universe is expanding Edwin Hubble detected this back in 1929; and it shows that everything came from a single point, a point actually of infinite density, the singularity, which is actually; nothing so the universe had a beginning. Also radiation afterglow, that's the remnant heat discovered by Penzias and Wilson in 1965, and it's literally the smoking gun to the big bang there's heat remnant heat from the big bang still out there, which shows that the universe had a beginning, that's just a few that proves the universe isn't eternal or everlasting so get rid of all the theories that would suggest otherwise. And lastly Einstein's theory of general relativity, which show that time space and matter are correlative that they came into existence together; that space time and matter literally had a beginning Einstein understood this in 1916, then observational evidence began in 1919, when eddington did his test on the eclips, then Hubble discovered the expending universe in 1929 and etc.. So the evidence points to the fact that the universe is not eternal and has a cause, so there most be something beyond the universe that is; and that thing that's beyond the universe must be spaceless, timeless, and immaterial and if you're timeless you don't have a beginning, and God did not have a beginning, He's the uncaused first cause, the eternal one. The Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth, that's time, space, and matter literally the first statement's of the Bible, In order to be God you can't be affected by time, space, or matter, time, space, and matter is a continuum all of them have to come into existence at the same instance. Because if there was matter but no space where would you put it, if there was matter and space but no time when would you put it, you cannot have time, space, or matter independently they have to come into existence simultaneously. And the bible answers that in in ten words, "in the beginning" there's time, "God created the heaven" there's space, "and the earth" there's matter. So you have time, space, matter; (Time: is past, present, future), (Space: has length, width, height) (Matter: has solid, Liquid, Gas,) So you have these things created by God instantaneously; and the God that created them has to live outside of them he can't be limited by any of them. "We're get to that eventually" (I'm sorry to inform you, but if science continues to attempt discrediting God for his own creation it will never get to it, it will just continue to accumulate for itself teacher's one after another; chosen to satisfy their own desires and support the errors they hold; and will turn their ears away from the truth in wonder off into myths and man made fictions, and will continue to accept what's unacceptable)
no, the video says there is no actual color red blue green. we only see color because of our retina and brain. color comes from light(sun, have no color) comes in contact with object(have no color), goes into eyes(brain process wavelength, which is not a color, into a color.) the wavelength itself is not a color. it is only a color when our brain process it into what we can understand color
So, if you have 100 people looking at a shirt that is red, and without speaking they are asked to write down, what color the red shirt is. And, all 100 people see the same thing, and write down...red. According to this video, they are just imagining that they all see the red color? Hmmmmmm
Exactly. The human brain works almost the same way for every human on earth, so we all see the same colours, but that doesn't change the fact that colour vision is just a way our brains are trying to comprehend the world around it.
You cannot name a colour if nobody tells you the name of it. Think of it this way - if you experience something to be red, then you will tell a small child that that colour is called "red" - however, that child might from his/her own perspective experience that colour as something that _you_ would call "green", but still call it "red" because (s)he was taught that name for that colour. A simpler way to think of it is that if you one day were told that "red" is the wrong name for the colour that you experience as red, and that the "real" name for that colour has always been "green", and thus you will then start to call that colour "green".
Laurelindo Interesting. “You cannot name a color if nobody tells you the name of it.” That is false. Who told the name of the experienced color to the first to name it? The rest of what you said is just a communication issue. But I “see” your point. The 100 people polled may actually be experiencing a different color than everyone else (which is actually true) but ALL have been conditioned to call it “Red”.
Makes literally zero sense how those chemical reactions in your eyes creates colors. Furthermore, It's very confusing on why color is even necessary for survival. Why does color even exist in the first place? Almost as if its a given universal constant. Like a planck
For everyone calling color not real, explain to me why you can't see the colors of wavelengths less then 500 trillion (radio,wifi,micro) and more than 650 trillion (uv, y). Your brain can't process it and organize it into different colors so it's colorless to our brains.
Colours that you consciously experience directly with your vision do not exist outside of your brain, because they are just the result of your brain trying to make sense of frequencies, which is what actually exists in the outside world, and you would still be able to feel the energy of ultraviolet radiation even if you were blind. Hearing works the same way: when you hear a loud sound, you are actually just experiencing large pressure amplitudes, and as far as the outside world is concerned, this is all that happens. Hearing allows you to identify those pressure changes into something more concrete, and even if you became deaf you would still be able to experience the bang when someone breaks the sound barrier.
color is real. the entire video could be summarized as a mistake this moron does purposefully by saying "maybe we are x-men and we create color" (putting a black white video doesnt prove shit) , the video is total BULLSHIT, the fact is ->"WE perceive what our eyes filter" >outside of us
Espaço Oculto If colour "exists", then do please try to explain why some people are colour blind. If colours were some sort of objective reality then everyone should experience the world in full colour.
I saw colours that I didn't know existed when I done LSD, I can't even explain them into words because they had no resemblance to any known colour and there is no way that red, green, or blue had any relation to them. My whole approach to perception changed forever as I'm now struggling to ever believe my eyes.

Well it's not that hard, get a object and put your hand over it blocking the light source something like the sun or the lightbulb, you notice say a orange is not orange anymore, cut out the light completely and the part of the orange in the shade is greyish, it's the photons that hit the orange and come into your eyes and the information sent to the brain define the colour of the objects, we all all frequency
If there is nothing like color but friquency then why it reflect several friquency only?
Great video and explanation - also super good graphics to illustrate it. Thanks a lot
how about seeing black? is it because there is no energy reflected from the objects or what does really, make us see the colour black?
this is the best video on this topic. even down to how you use color in the very video
Such an awesome video and explanation.
So how does the Sharingan work?
It didnt have to win because it changed the life of me and my son aling with many others and yes it was super easy to understand its self explanatory. My son actually used it for his science project and used this to be able to explain reality on a psychological aspect when he was on 11 the kicker to it all is that he was right and it was proved by MIT over 10 years later.
Color exists outside the brain , it’s just possibly not the same color you and I see…
color is a special effect, wow. marc your shirt is most def an optical illusion.
This is what they teach people in america
This video is correct about what it says;
if you don't believe me, then try asking yourself what would happen to a person's colour vision if that person somehow lost some cone cells.
Why would this make that person lose some colour vision if colours exist "out there"?
Shouldn't just vision itself be enough to observe those colours, even without cone cells?
@Peter_1986 lol this is so dumb. Ok then physical life doesn't exist at all then
Since blind ppl can't see them😅😅 see how dumb your analogy is?

@Peter_1986 since when did we base reality off of disabled ppl?
So hypothetically speaking if someone have different eye cons than normal such as Xray, infrared and ultravoilet or gamma ray What colors would they see ? And again lets assume i don't have these cons then how would i see objects would they be Gray color ?
Well the ones you can't see the colour for it would depend if the how the rodes, which are the cells which pick up darkness and light treat the normal colours. if your rodes can pick it up depending on how much light it recieves it could percieve it as black or white or grey, or just not pick it up at all if it is outside of there sensitivity range.
remember 'colors' are a human invention! and the names change with language!
thousands of years ago a caveman could see things, but was too busy surviving to try to name things!!
note that infrared and ultraviolet are every where, so if you could see that it would be like looking at a light bulb close up!! :O :O
Colors exist. It's obvious. If anyone is trying to confuse you about that...they can't answer the question, what came first the chicken or the egg.

That should be the next video you watch
Scince is all about theory brotha. They assume it or take it as a theory and it does turns out right. So it's also a theory and even proved tbh. We can't see photons bt we can test if they exist rn
To answer your final, rhetorical question: YES! Science and technology are wonderful. Hurray for human ingenuity!
It is the same principle as a camera with a Bayer filter sensor.
I wonder if it's possible to add those cones to animals one day? How would a species react to seeing color for the first time?

So if we cant see colour what colour is the object?
Grey, black, white
@serhedfeyzullah7266how did you know
You talk about lights in frequency whereas most others in wave length so a bit tricky at the beginning 😁
Great job sir thanks, god bless you sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

so the colour blund people are actually seeing things as they are?
If color doesn’t exist, is everything black and white or a neutral color that we can’t process?

Hi now you 27, i'm near 24 xD
How do they get the paint protinens in there though?
What happens to the light that gets absorbed, by the object?
It disappears, transferring its energy to the object, which gets slightly warmer in the process.
Martin Meaney may be black
Thanks you a lot, you and the light for me are the same.
The brain is a purely physical system, so there can be no irreducible qualitative colors in the brain. They can only exist in the non-physical mind. The existence of color vision is one of the conclusive arguments against materialism.
shame it's really conclusive though. take away the brain, everything stops working, that's conclusive evidence that brain is materialist.
by all means go ahead with your investigations into parapsychology, someone has to do it, but you're wasting your time, after a million years there's still no evidence of anything supernatural.
@@HarryNicNicholas "Brain is materialist" is quite a strange formulation, but leaving that aside, my point was that there are most certainly no colors whatsoever in the brain. Take away the brain, everything physiological going in that brain stops working, but this can't include colors, as they are NOT in the brain!
@@HarryNicNicholas There is plenty of good evidence, and it did not take a million years, but less than 2 centuries.
@tpmrivas894 thank you for saying this. This dumb ppl saying colors dont exist
So all the cars in a dealership have the same color but it's my perception that they have different color.
Doesnt have the same color, it doesnt have color
The point is it doesn't have color at all. The chemical properties of the individual coats of paint determine what frequencies are absorbed or reflected and thus the differences in color

So what is the actuall color of the world
it's actually just no color
@francisros9115 how do you know that? Did you rip out your brain and live in the world lmaoo
The world has colors regardless of ppls perspective
how do we see multicoulours in a single object if an object only reflects one ray
have a look at how a PRISM works, you will see there is NEVER only one color (ray).. :)
I have one doubt. How does then the photograph (which is just a paper) can contain different wavelengths of light for us to see a coloured photo. TV i can understand due to electron tube or something that spits varied energy of electrons for light to perceive it's wavelength. But photo that is imprinted on a piece of white paper do not have such constantly emitting source. So why do coloured photos can be seen in colour?
Saying that the white paper texture is changed isnt right, we probably don't even have such minute level technology 50+ years ago. Also the colours are imprinted using electrons which probably just strikes and maybe even excite some atom in white paper. But it will come back to its ground state. After that there is no more emission of any wavelength. We still see the photos coloured yet.
@@TheMysticAxiom I do feel the video is doubtful in some parts as well... As it cudnt answer my doubt which is based on the stuff told in the video.
I kind of guessed this was real before i saw this
So that's why that old pictures look black and white
kind of deep but still makes so much sense
Except that the three phosphors in a TV *can't* actually reproduce the entire gamut of human color vision. They only approximate a color mixing triangle that covers a fairly large portion of that gamut.
Steven Varner Prove it that they cant. I agree with your position that tvs dont produce the entire gamut, but that doesnt mean if we had a different display with slightly different 3 phosphors that its impossible.
Do a video on magenta !
So is there a chance the world is actually all black and white?
If some of you are not convinced, let me explain it a bit better. Im going to explain in a very simplified way of how our eyes see color.
When yellow light goes into the eye the long wavelength receptors and the middle wavelenght receptors respond in SIMILAR amounts to the yellow light. however the short wavelength receptors respond little COMPARES to how the rest of the receptors. I write compare instead of responding in high amounts because dark yellow light is still yellow, anyway. For example, if Red light goes into the eye, the brain receives RATIOS with three numbers. The long receptor responds, the middle receptor responds half of the long receptor and the short receptor responds 0. Green light's numbers are long responds half that of middle receptor. and the short receptor responds 1/4 of the middle receptor. Light is described by its frequency and is not described by a ratio, so colors dont exist. One more point is that magenta doesnt have a frequency even though we see it. Its not a result of the light mixing otherwise there would be interference patterns in magenta light.Btw my ratios are probably wrong but the point IS the ratio itself. Also, this is a very simplified way of how it works, there's more about it in how the brain processes it.
I'm a buddist and for the young age in our religion we have been taught that we are not seeing the reality (those were lord buddha's teachings)he taught these things 2600 years ago and most of the monks wrote those in thipitakaya.And when I say that we not seeing the reality in my school most of my friends laughed at me and said I'm believing on myths.But recently 3 scientist found that we not seeing the reality and einstein's theories were rejected and they won 2022 nobel prize.
We do see the reality , i dont think if an atomic bomb detonated next to u that u wont see its light or hear its explosions
Actually it absorbs light waves.
You said Not yet understood, during part of the video, are you sure we understand anything when it comes to vision? Are you sure it's not the light that gives the Atoms and cells energy and they use that energy to vibrate and is that vibration that our eyes and brain process? The thought that light is reflected off an object and then enters our eyes seems a little strange. There would have to be photons hitting every object and bouncing off then at every conceivable angle so that no matter where and how many eyes there are all can receive the Photons but yet there are never any photons that are reflected a little bit off by the molecules in the air making objects fuzzy. And let's go even further and say a photon hits an object and is partiality absorbed and the reflected part then reflects at an angle that it hits another object before it is then reflected at the perfect angle to be received by eye. Now those photons might not have the same vibration as the color of the 2nd object but yet we never see that glitch.
So what's the real color???
There is no color in our whole life.
@@TheMysticAxiom how you could be in such confidence that science which take experimental facts could be wrong.

Goldberg Sam What we perceive as “color” is an interaction of certain energy waves with the material properties of objects where in some are absorbed and transferred to heat while others are reflected off of the material which IF they hit our eyes we translate into a “color”. That means “color” exists for us AS WE PERCEIVE IT. No two people perceive “color” exactly the same way EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. Different species “see” differently again-even though the waves are the same. “Color” therefore is in biological translation of energy waves information and is in the mind of the beholder. This of course makes “color” “real” and “existent” for us but it is not the same for all creatures.
I would say that “color” is more like a perceptual language and not a physical object of existence.

Oh hi, Marc!
All this rhetoric between physics and metaphysics = blah blah blah. Let’s simplify the reality shall we....
Assume a controlled environment. What we perceive as “color” is an interaction of certain energy waves with the material properties of physical objects where in some are absorbed and transferred to heat while others are reflected off of the material which IF they hit our eyes we translate into a “color”. That means “color” exists for us AS WE PERCEIVE IT. No two people perceive “color” exactly the same way EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. Different species “see” differently again-even though the waves are the same. “Color” therefore is in biological translation of energy waves information and is in the mind of the beholder. This of course makes “color” “real” and “existent” for us but it is not the same for all creatures.
I would say that “color” is more like a perceptual language of light wave information and not a physical object of existence. Therefore, “color” is an brain image or other biological sensation, associated to energy waves. Both are real to us because that is our reality but one is physical and the other metaphysical.
The video is correct because it simply describes how they combine in our reality.

Colour is a human concept for perceiving different wavelengths of light.
Both of you . Are right
Everything has a code
I can't fathom how people think all this is a product of natural selection, and selective mutation; evolution has nothing to do with this level of complexity and design.
This is clearly the work of a higher being, it's as if we wasn't created for the world; but instead the world was created with us in mind. The light produces certain frequencies that it seems like our brains was already automatically tuned before hand to interpret.
Its like the strawberry was created to be red for the eyes; that would later on be made to decipher the frequency of oscillations. As if everything was made for our enjoyment, doesn't sound like some random mysterious process that science doesn't even really know how to explain nor have any factual evidence to prove.
Then provide evidence that we were created by a higher being.
Also, using that logic, this "creator" is far more complicated than us, meaning it also has a creator.
"evolution has nothing to do with this level of complexity"
Only for the scientifically-ignorant.
"Its like the strawberry was created to be red for the eyes"
No, it wasn't. It isn't red for the eyes. We simply perceive it as red.
"As if everything was made for our enjoyment"
How about meteor strikes, tornadoes, typhoons and earthquakes?
"that science doesn't even know how to explain"
We'll get there eventually. A few hundred years ago, religious nutcases thought the sun revolved around us, and science eventually proved them wrong.
@@atheistyoda8915 @atheistyoda8915 Provide evidence we where created by a higher being?
(The evidence is all around us, the complexity of biological life, the complexity of the universe itself, it's clear that ingenuity was involved; it takes more faith to believe in the scientific theories of the Evolution and Big Bang as opposed to believing in Creation by intelligent design.)
"Only for the scientifically ignorant"
(Really bro, if you're actually knew how flawed and inaccurate in terms of use of the scientific method; some of these scientific theories are, you would probably rethink you stance on science as it is today. There are so many inconsistencies concerning various scientific practices, radiocarbon dating, the carbon 14 decay rate, etc... And much more you would be ignorant just from blindly believing in some of these scientific theories, as well as scientists.)
"It's like the strawberry was created to be red for the eye"
(Rewatch the video and you may understand why I said that, the strawberry is made of chemical compounds that absorb most frequencies; but not those frequencies that oscillates at 500 trillion times per second because it doesn't contain that compound that would allow it to do so. Then the brain deciphers and interprets the frequency, the world was here first then humans came later, for an intelligent designer it would be no problem for him to create Us in such a way that our eyes and brain work together to interpret those frequencies, not to mention he made the strawberry, so he decided which chemical compounds it would be made of and which ones it would not, giving him control over the frequencies of light and oscillation it would absorb.)
"How about meteor strikes, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes? "
(My answer to this is more of a biblically theological kind; just stating this because I don't know how open you are to believing in a higher power, or if your only epistemology{way of knowing) is through science and if you can't put something under a microscope you can't possibly know if it's true or not, God created a perfect world; paradise without death or disease, then He created men and gave us a dangerous but wondrous gift called freewill then paradise was lost. Lost to murder, war, greed pride, selfishness, starvation, poverty, abuse of children, natural disasters, all of which sprung from the heart of men not God; God didn't create one of those, think about it people steal because they they feel like they deserve what other people worked hard for, they hop from bed to bed because they feel entitled to just satisfy themselves no matter who it hurts, no matter what pain that it costs. People love the darkness, but God takes every bit of it and turns it around for the benefit of His kingdom, God did something about all this year's ago on a wooden cross when he sent His son Jesus, when men fell in the garden of eden the whole world fell with us, and things like natural disasters are all echoes of that initial cataclysm.)
Also using that logic, this "Creator" is far more complicated then us, meaning it also has a creator"
(God is the uncaused first cause, meaning he's always been; without needing to begin He's eternal. The universe is not the uncaused first cause for various reasons, I mean the second law of thermodynamics which states that the universe is running down; which suggests someone has to have wound it up,
also we would have no energy left right now if the universe was eternal, because the universe is expanding Edwin Hubble detected this back in 1929; and it shows that everything came from a single point, a point actually of infinite density, the singularity, which is actually; nothing so the universe had a beginning.
Also radiation afterglow, that's the remnant heat discovered by Penzias and Wilson in 1965, and it's literally the smoking gun to the big bang there's heat remnant heat from the big bang still out there, which shows that the universe had a beginning, that's just a few that proves the universe isn't eternal or everlasting so get rid of all the theories that would suggest otherwise.
And lastly Einstein's theory of general relativity, which show that time space and matter are correlative that they came into existence together; that space time and matter literally had a beginning Einstein understood this in 1916, then observational evidence began in 1919, when eddington did his test on the eclips, then Hubble discovered the expending universe in 1929 and etc..
So the evidence points to the fact that the universe is not eternal and has a cause, so there most be something beyond the universe that is; and that thing that's beyond the universe must be spaceless, timeless, and immaterial and if you're timeless you don't have a beginning, and God did not have a beginning, He's the uncaused first cause, the eternal one.
The Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth, that's time, space, and matter literally the first statement's of the Bible, In order to be God you can't be affected by time, space, or matter, time, space, and matter is a continuum all of them have to come into existence at the same instance.
Because if there was matter but no space where would you put it, if there was matter and space but no time when would you put it, you cannot have time, space, or matter independently they have to come into existence simultaneously. And the bible answers that in in ten words, "in the beginning" there's time, "God created the heaven" there's space, "and the earth" there's matter.
So you have time, space, matter; (Time: is past, present, future), (Space: has length, width, height) (Matter: has solid, Liquid, Gas,)
So you have these things created by God instantaneously; and the God that created them has to live outside of them he can't be limited by any of them.
"We're get to that eventually"
(I'm sorry to inform you, but if science continues to attempt discrediting God for his own creation it will never get to it, it will just continue to accumulate for itself teacher's one after another; chosen to satisfy their own desires and support the errors they hold; and will turn their ears away from the truth in wonder off into myths and man made fictions, and will continue to accept what's unacceptable)

Nice
I had to watch this video for school and my eyes fucking hurt rn wth
So, if you have 100 people looking at a shirt that is red, and without speaking they are asked to write down, what color the red shirt is. And, all 100 people see the same thing, and write down...red. According to this video, they are just imagining that they all see the red color? Hmmmmmm
Exactly. The human brain works almost the same way for every human on earth, so we all see the same colours, but that doesn't change the fact that colour vision is just a way our brains are trying to comprehend the world around it.
You cannot name a colour if nobody tells you the name of it.
Think of it this way - if you experience something to be red, then you will tell a small child that that colour is called "red" - however, that child might from his/her own perspective experience that colour as something that _you_ would call "green", but still call it "red" because (s)he was taught that name for that colour.
A simpler way to think of it is that if you one day were told that "red" is the wrong name for the colour that you experience as red, and that the "real" name for that colour has always been "green", and thus you will then start to call that colour "green".
Laurelindo Interesting. “You cannot name a color if nobody tells you the name of it.” That is false. Who told the name of the experienced color to the first to name it?
The rest of what you said is just a communication issue.
But I “see” your point. The 100 people polled may actually be experiencing a different color than everyone else (which is actually true) but ALL have been conditioned to call it “Red”.
Time Is Money Yet no two people translate the waves and “see” “color” the exact same way. But you are right from your perspective.
@@Peter_1986 only wavelength the same. Name it xc or mb or what ever you want.

For everyone calling color not real, explain to me why you can't see the colors of wavelengths less then 500 trillion (radio,wifi,micro) and more than 650 trillion (uv, y). Your brain can't process it and organize it into different colors so it's colorless to our brains.
true. color is real. outside of our brains
Colours are not real. Frequencies of light are. (kind of, since frequency as a concept is a human invention)
Colours that you consciously experience directly with your vision do not exist outside of your brain, because they are just the result of your brain trying to make sense of frequencies, which is what actually exists in the outside world, and you would still be able to feel the energy of ultraviolet radiation even if you were blind.
Hearing works the same way:
when you hear a loud sound, you are actually just experiencing large pressure amplitudes, and as far as the outside world is concerned, this is all that happens.
Hearing allows you to identify those pressure changes into something more concrete, and even if you became deaf you would still be able to experience the bang when someone breaks the sound barrier.
color is real. the entire video could be summarized as a mistake this moron does purposefully by saying "maybe we are x-men and we create color" (putting a black white video doesnt prove shit) , the video is total BULLSHIT, the fact is ->"WE perceive what our eyes filter" >outside of us
