And for you to say that statement in a time where no one can be unified on anything is not only selfish but bigoted of you to say. And yes as a black man I can be prejudice, but I can NEVER be racist in this society. So with all do respect, if you cannot appreciate this person trying to do something positive with their influence, than you do not need to be apart of this community. If you aren’t racist than there would be no reason for you to say that when the goal is to love each others as humans. I hope you learn that these statements do not make you a victim.

    I think the question more revolves around the concept of negative light, like a flashlight that makes everything its "light" touches appear darker.
    Almost like an artificial shadow generator, with no light source between the obstruction and the shadow itself.
    However, such technology would likely require either physics components we aren't aware of yet, or devices so cold they read in the Negative Kelvin range and possibly cannot exist.

    • @friedrichrubinstein2346
      @friedrichrubinstein2346 Год назад +3

      Negative Kelvin range? That's impossible by the very definition of Kelvin.

    • @maozedong8370
      @maozedong8370 Год назад +6

      Only dark matter is known to "obstruct" light. If you could harness dark matter to create a dark flashlight somehow, that would be possible. It is however beyond our technology and is also highly impractical. For what purpose would you require such a device other than as a novelty item?
      I take that back, it would be incredibly useful. harnessing dark matter would take camouflage to the next level. It would pioneer revolutionary stealth technology.

    • @sugarraybow
      @sugarraybow 6 месяцев назад

      Well it is possible. Just imagine you have a flashlight with a parabolic light and at the center of it you just have a solid cover. Now when you shine your flashlight at something, you will have a shadow in the center while everything else around it is lighten up, so anyone looking at it, would perceive the center as dark or black because around it's very bright. So basicly the same phenomenom you can see int he video.

    What you have demonstrated is called exposure compensation, it happens both in auto exposure cameras and your own eyes as the pupil open and closes. If you had kept the exposure the same, the room would be very bright, but you would still see the phone as white. Also in the projector scene, i figure there would still be light present due to spill that happens in the projector and its measured by the projector contrast ratio. If this was done on an oled panel, the blacks would be truly black, minus the spill light that would be bouncing around the room and coming back to the dark area. If you where in a void where the light could not travel back to the surface you would see (Or not see lol) truly black (Ignoring the fact that your own face and body would serve as a bounce card). As a photographer i would say Black is the absence of light and any shade above would be gray.

      they don't
      the "black" part of a projection is the absense of illumination
      it's not black, it's just a not bright white
      and this black casts a shadow because the projector cannot fully block the light that the very powerful lamp inside a projector produces
      it's the same with your monitor (unless it's oled, crt or plasma): black color in a TFT monitor produces light because the liquid crystals inside a monitor cannot fully block the light from a LCD backlight

    Quite interesting, Action Lab! The lighter and more bright an object is to another, the darker and less bright it'll make the other look to an observer. Shadows could look dark when there's brighter light surrounding them, but they also still hold a very dim source of light in them. When there's absolutely no light or energy in something, it would look pitch black in all cases. Maybe like black holes, for instance.
    "Colors are in our heads."
    Totally! The colors we see are there in relation to each other, but they aren't really how we perceive them as. Other animals could perceive them differently, and that makes us wonder, "Are we living in reality or just in our perception, nature made it, for survival purposes?"

    Yes! Color is different between each person. Blood sugar levels have a lot to do with the difference of color intensity that each individual perceives! I remember a while back working at a photo color print facility after lunch or break people would "over filter" and decrease contrast of prints because their blood sugar was high after lunch and they perceived color too strong...the prints came out kind of "flat"! Just the opposite happened when people were fasting or hadn't eaten for a long period...they perceived less intense color so they intensified the colors so the technician would feel they were normal, but they were very contrasty and color intense! We ended up monitoring when employees ate and had healthy snacks out and available for them to eat! Most however, preferred the little squares of snickers bars! Same goes for photoshop, and digital printing facilities!

      Seeing the same color for a prolonged time has a similar effect and you can try it yourself!
      Quickest way to do it is to close your eyes and cover one of them with your hand.
      Then look into a relatively bright light so one of your eyes starts seeing red while the other sees black.
      Wait for a couple seconds and turn of the light and look at a normal room with one eye at the time switch between them and you will see the one you had covered sees the reds a lot stronger then your other eye who will see everything in a more greenish tint and all the reds will be relatively weak.

    In your projector experiment: In seeing your shadow in the black circle of the projection, I think that experiment is simply experiencing a) the inefficiency of the projector, and b) perhaps some diffusion of light through the atmosphere. FYI, this is related to why OLED TVs do better with black then LED LCD counterparts. OLED emits zero (or near zero light) while the LED LCD can't make a pure black because of washout of the technology. Black is the absence of light. The "black" you see on the projector is just shades of grey that want to be black but can't with that technology. :)

      This specifically is not really being researched all that much these days but that's simply because the idea goes back to Aristotle, Plato, Democritus, and Empedocles. Way back then, there was debate among philosophers about whether color originated in the mind and was projected onto an object or originated in an object then was interpreted by the mind.
      That said, how people perceive, interpret, and communicate about colors is still being studied in linguistics and cognitive psychology. Neuro psychology also has some fun research on making impossible colors that cannot exist in nature but you can trick the brain into thinking it sees. To learn more about that research, look up "stygian blue" and "hyper green".

    As far as the "We can never know if we see the same color as everyone else," you can, at the very least, know that it's hue shifted and not random. Or rather: all people with good vision and without color-blindness can fairly accurately "order" colors/ hues in sequence. So even if one person's red is another person's blue, ALL of the colors are equally shifted to match the same hue transitions (like adjusting a hue slider across an entire photo).

    • @Rudxain
      @Rudxain 2 года назад +7

      That's partially true. Remember, the human eye uses 3 "big blocks" of color for the entire range of visible light. This means color cones (photoreceptors) can be swapped. This also means that if someone has red and green swapped (blue intact), yellow will still look the same and will still be located at the same wavelength in the spectrum. If all cones were shuffled, some secondary colors would swap with other secondaries. This color swapping can only be done physically, because it requires "incorrect" neural connections of cones. The hue shift you were mentioning, can only be achieved purely in the brain because the brain is the one processing the color spectrum and making assumptions (bias)

      @@Rudxain I'm not sure about that because we're being taught rules to name the colors, so unless the swapping occurs after the learning process, or perhaps a "return to normal" occurs, we'd be taught that red is blue and so on, and only by reconciliation with the spectrum would we know any difference. We assume color looks the same for each of us, but that doesn't account for why we find some colors more attractive than others, favorite color for example, and some people don't have a favorite. Or why I can't see gold in the dress on the screen. I thought it might be a screen adjustment, but my wife can see it. I might be color blind and don't know it.
      What's even more intriguing is that we're now engaging in debates over whether light is a particle or wave, and it could be both. Or we could be just plain wrong. They're also adding field to the debate.

      @@minerblake7494 Exactly, I agree. And you can check if you're colorblind by looking at 3 RGB bars:
      1. Open some paint program and create a rectangle set to #FF0000, then another as #00FF00, then #0000FF.
      2. Now you should have 3 rectangles with max saturation. Green should be the brightest, followed by Red, then Blue. This happens because blue cone sensitivity is lower than the other cones. If you see a very bright blue, then your display is bad *OR you're tetrachromat.*
      3. If you aren't convinced, test the same image on multiple displays of different technologies (LCD, LED, OLED, QLED, Plasma, and CRT), with all "special settings" disabled (image "correction" reduces fidelity by applying a bias). And also use secondary colors (yellow, cyan, and magenta)

    6:08 is a question I have had since I was around 8 years old. Definitely still fascinating to think about 22 years later.
    "How do I know that my understanding of the color 'Red' (for example) is the same as Jimmy's understanding of the color Red? What if his 'Red' is my 'Blue'? Or something else entirely which I could never even imagine?"

    • @paulbrocklehurst3639
      @paulbrocklehurst3639 2 года назад

      Butr there is no 'red' in your head anyway because colours are simply fictions the brain lies to us about although there is a difference in wavelengths of light which our retinas message the brain about & then the brain makes up a fiction based on that data. If I were ask you to forget about wavelength difference between yellow & blue & state how they are any different all we can say is that red looks red & yellow looks yellow to us but there is no experience of either as such, only an illusion of each one. This is why some people think they see a yellow & black dress & others think they see a black & blue dress since there really isn't any colour there at all only wavelengths interpreted as total fictions. If they weren't fictions we would be able to say what makes the experience of yellow different to the experienc of blue but we can't so we say yellow looks yellow & blue looks blue because we can't think of anything meaningful to say about the mature of each experience. That wouldn't be the case if the experience of colours was real rather than fiction.

    “White” light is all frequencies of light.
    “Black” is the absence of light.
    The “black” light happened because you over powered it with the surrounding light. The outer white light (in a sense) took center of attention, causing the inner light to be black.

      Another example is looking into a window of a house in a sunny day from a little ways off. It is really hard to see inside. There is light exiting the window (from inside) and hitting your eye, but the light bouncing off the house’s outer wall are taking up all that you see.

      Yeah, Shadow is a true black, and Vantablack is the blackest black. Any shade of color can fade to black, it's a function of luminessense, and occlusion, or absorption of light.
      Black when back-lit is a thing, and is NOT strictly a function of surrounding light circumstance, it is also a function of eye sensitivity and wavelength.
      To see what I mean, use any back-lit LCD or LED display.
      We've all seen the TV, Monitor, or Cell phone displaying black but "know" its on, and if its dark enough you can slightly illuminate a room with their light in pitch black depending on the quality of their contrast's "blackness" function.

  • @Mark_5150
    @Mark_5150 6 лет назад +44

    The phone in front of the brighter screen isn't producing blacklight, its just the exposure of the camera (or a human eye) adjusting itself to the brighter light.
    If you are outside on a sunny day and look across the street into your neighbors house windows you can't see inside because there is less light and your eyes can't focus on the rooms inside, but your neighbors can see just fine in their house. And at night, you can see into your neighbors lit house but they can't see you out in the dark because their eyes are exposed to the brighter light. Yet, if they walk out onto their porch they would see you just fine.

      Mango Rage not fully exactly,you would need to wear all black to actually not stand out less, black clothes tend to absorb everything around them, so if you were to wear white clothes that reflect everything to give off the color white they would reflect from other colors such as roygbiv (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) this will make you stand out much more as other colors around you would want to reflect with your white clothes, therefore wearing black would be the best choice because it'll want to absorb the colors around you, if you were to wear any other colors like orange it'll try to reflect to orange rays so it can turn out to be orange just like red it'll want to reflect to red rays so it'll look out red, you see if I were you I would wear black
