Sorry for the low audio volume everyone, I'm still learning video editing so thank you for your patience. Also I realized I forgot to say what dynamics range actually is but it's just the difference between the brightest and darkest values (or between largest and smallest values of any quantity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range)
other interesting colours are brown and orange. both are a linear weighted distribution of all wavelengths across the visible spectrum. while greys have the same intensity across all wavelengths, brown has more red wavelengths and less blue wavelengths, and if you shift that imbalance a bit more you reach orange.
That was truely genius video. simple, but eyeopening.I have never saw the rainbow this way. It was too interesting to mind any audio issues, despite it's an electromagnetic wave as well🤣
Thanks! Yeah I thought about those when mentioning bright pigments and was going to ask include a brief discussion of why magenta printer ink/toner isn’t as vibrant (besides just cost) but I cut it for time.
Nice explanation! Im really curious about how a monitor with more than 3 pixel colors would look like now. Or possibly smart blue and red pixels that can change their color slightly. It might be inefficient, but it would be a cool experiment. I didn't realize how many colors our eyes simply make up. Very cool stuff! Ive read that some spiders have 4 cone cells and can see more colors. Hopefully humans in the future can evolve to see more wavelengths!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! Monitors with deep violet and 4 pixel colors would be interesting and maybe in the future if they run out of things to do they’ll bring one to market haha. For now people tend to care more about our resolution, refresh rate and dynamic range but maybe someday we’ll see screens with violet pixels. There are already screens with 4 colors which have yellow pixels and blues that are just a bit shorter in wavelength than the standard sold as “Quattron” (a brand name by sharp) displays, but they still can’t show super deep violets and suffer from the fact that you need images or graphics which contain the additional information to really make use of them and photos, games etc are all standardized RGB so you need special materials prepared for that display. As for tunable pixels that is possible and something I plan to talk about in the future but it is cost and complexity prohibitive for any mass produced devices for the foreseeable future but hopefully someday it’ll be easy/cheap enough to put in ordinary devices.
@@EricaCalmanI remember a TV with yellow pixels that was advertised a lot about a decade or more ago, George Takei was in the ad. I guess it didn't sell well because I haven't really heard of it since.
You're actually a hexachromat, at least if you have two functioning trichromatic eyes. That's because of the chromatic redundancy in our binocular visual system. Basically, you have two eyes which both see color similarly. Close one eye and the colors won't change. Now alter the color vision of one eye and you'll introduce more color differences in the visible light range via impossible color combinations which overall add to your color palette. A far red color filter (i.e. a color filter that only lets through pure red light, so no yellow or orange, etc.) over one eye, for example, will simulate a "true" red cone type (the normal red "L" cone type is actually most sensitive to chartreuse light). This results in functional tetrachromacy. Though not as effective as retinal tetrachromacy, you'll have tetrachromatic vision with this setup. With VR you can even simulate functional hexachromacy (I've done that, it works and it's amazing) via multispectral data. Just by using technology you can augment your color vision manifold.
I am fascinated by the sheer amount of stuff that is just a lie or an illusion in our real world..Great video!..Just try to increase the audio volume a bit next time ;)
Thanks! Yeah I was worried about it getting too loud and clipping despite my pop filter, I'll just use a software clip filter next time and keep the volume up. And yeah it's cool how we can perceive so many things based on things that are very different from how they initially seem.
You definitely can produce a beam of columnated light which appears pink/magenta and there are some light show projectors that do that,. It just technically isn’t A Laser, it’s multiple light sources superimposed with one another just like RGB pixels.
Not per se, but I've always had a hard time memorizing things to a t and when speaking off the cuff I can go fast but when I need to get things specific and right I need to stop and check in my head frequently.
Great explanation of current understanding of pink… but what if I told you that RGB system explains the entire visible spectrum? What if I can make Pink with a single prism?
@@EricaCalman The theory was discovered in 2015 and published in 2019, I made a video 4 years ago, the interesting thing is that even when it’s so easy to do but many people just won’t take the time to pay attention to this
@@ciencialogica7783 So I should know better than to take the bait on this, but do you have a link to the paper? Or the title or DOI? What do you mean by "discovered". You could engineer a prism using a material designed so that the index of refraction is the same for red and blue but different for green but it be a lot of effort for no real reason and wouldn't change our fundamental understanding of anything.

Good news everyone! They've rolled out the stabilize volume feature so you can fix the low volume by turning it on!

It’s crazy how little of the magnetic spectrum we can actually see

Great video. It reminded me of that ultrapink pigment that you can't truly show on a computer screen due to the problems you mentioned.

I bet you are the kind of friend that everyone wants around. Where they ask a question & you delightfully provide the answer.
Here before the channel explodes into popularity, woohoo

What if we took blue and a red laser and put them extremely close together?

@@EricaCalman ohhh, ok
ROYGBIV forever !!!
ROYGBV gang
Not gonna talk about quantum mechanics... Too late!
oh yeah lol, I guess I should have said not in any detail. Technically already did though XD
@@EricaCalman great video by the way. I actually learned something. Keep it up. I subscribed.
Did u used to have a stammer when u were younger by any chance. Doesnt really matter i suppose. Really interesting video.

the most gay video i ever watched and i like ^^
your video seems to have weird lines through it.

With a prism I’d tell you you’re lying, with a diffraction grating I’d say you’re seeing the first and second order angles overlapping.
