    We really don't know if any of us sees the colors the same way, not even the light itself. If it, by theory, hits the rods and cones and is being transformed into electrochemical impulses, we really haven't got even the slightest idea of what it really is, what the nature of it is. We only see the holographic image of it in the darkness of our skulls, the image our brain interpreted/created, but we don't know if it's really like that "out there".

      That’s a valid scientific argument. The idea you are talking about has already been presented in a theory which is called “model-dependent realism” in cosmology.

    The thing with the mantis shrimp, though, is that we don't understand how it uses those receptors, so it might actually be the opposite. That is, it might only be able to see twelve colors total.

  • @GrubKiller436
    @GrubKiller436 8 лет назад +1

    My mind just got fucking blown. Ever since I was a child, I've asked myself "I wonder if there a color out there that we've yet to discover or are not able to see."
    This is fascinating indeed. It'd be great if humans involved in the very far future and developed an ability to see at least one more kind of "color".

      +Fantasy☯Fangs Scientists have discovered a woman with an extra type of cone, meaning she can see colours described as "inbetween red and green". With all the colour combinations she could possibly see around 100 million different colours, instead of just 10 million. Some scientists believe that up to 3% of the female population could develop this trait.

  • @jackarmstrong5645

    We do not "see" color. We experience color. Color is an evolved experience. There is no information about color in energy. Energy is merely correlated to the experience of color.

    • @dmoore3722
      @dmoore3722 9 лет назад +6

      Irving Lopez Yes, but they are not really "colors" as we have defined them. "Seeing" is simply using organs (i.e. our eyes) to detect a portion of the spectrum. We can't even imagine what these non-visible portions of the spectrum might "look like", because anything we come up with would be restricted only to what we have experienced firsthand--colors. It's like trying to imagine a 4th spacial dimension. It's amazing to think about how much of reality we are "missing" out on!

      We perceive an apple as red because it consists of color pigments that absorb the blue and green wavelengths of light and thus only reflects the wavelenghts that we, as humans, are able to interpret as a red color.
      Let's look at it this way. A lemon absorbs the blue light and reflects the red and green portion into our eye thus making in it seem like it is yellow. If you shine light with only the red and blue light spectrum onto a lemon it will appear red, and black if you only hit it with blue light.
      As to your second question. Your hypothetical robot could be equipped with the tech straight out of a digital camera and interpret the reflected light intensity and wavelenght the same way by storing the information as numbers.

      They wouldn't be able to see. They would have a programmed "navigation" or just a sense for navigation (= their vision system). It's hard to explain. But I don't think it's possible to "create" a vision... It can't be made.

    We are able to see colours because when light reflects off an object into our eyes it first hits the cornea a film that lays on top of our eyes, this layer refracts light towards our pupil which gets bigger or smaller to let in more or less light. Once light passes through the pupil it is sent to the lens which angles and focuses the light to a point on the outer layer of the retina, here light-sensitive cells called rods and cones send information to ganglion nerve cells in the inner retina. Ganglion cells then send the information to the optic nerve, which sends the signal to the brain, where the signal is processed and interpreted. Rods and cones, the two types of light-sensitive cells located on the outer retina, have different jobs. Rods are responsible for our perception of light and dark and our peripheral vision. Cones are what allow us to see colour. They are found in the centre of the retina, where light is focusing. Cones come in three varieties, each sensitive to a different light. Interestingly, we have more cones sensitive to red light, meaning our vision is best for warmer colours like reds, oranges and yellows. However, our cones aren’t sensitive to light with wavelengths shorter than 400 nanometers or longer than around 700 nanometers. For example, a gamma wave’s wavelength is about the size of an atomic nucleus, which is much too short than any of our three types of cones to sense. Radio waves are too long, with wavelengths longer than two empire state buildings put together. That doesn’t mean that these forms of light aren’t visible per se. Other animals have different kinds and number of cones, which allow them to see the world differently than we do. Dogs, for example, are more limited in the wavelengths they can see because they only have two types of cones leaving them “colourblind” to differences between red and green. Butterflies have four types of cones in their eyes, letting them see ultraviolet light. The animal with the best colour vision might be the mantis shrimp, which has 12 different kinds of cones. If Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee created amazing works of art with just three types of cones, imagine what the masterpiece the mantis shrimp would create with 12!

    Espectro de luz electromagnético contiene el espectro de luz visible.
    Existen células receptoras que nos permiten percibir la luz del entornos llamadas Varillas y Conos.
    Varillas (Rods): Responsables de nuestra percepción de la luz y la oscuridad.
    Conos (Cones): Nos permiten ver el color. Se encuentran en el centro de la rutina. Vienen en 3 variedades (azul, verde, roja), seres tricromáticos. Tenemos más conos sensibles a la luz roja, lo que significa que nuestra visión es mejor para temperaturas más cálidas (rojos, naranjas, amarillos). Rango de ondas percibidas por el humano( (400 nanómetros a 700 nanómetros).
    Los perros y gatos tienen 2 conos: Sólo perciben entre el azul, amarillo y el verde. Dejándolos "daltónicos" a las diferencias entre rojo y verde.
    Las mariposas tienen 4 conos: Pueden percibir la luz ultravioleta.
    Los camarones mantis tienen 12 conos, son sensibles a un amplio rango de intensidades de luz, permitiéndoles ello percibir simultáneamente elementos muy oscuros y muy brillantes dentro del mismo campo de visión.

    colour doesn't exist outside of thebrain, all wavelengths are the same colour in the the world, when the different wavelengths reach the eye the energy levels of those wavelengths get detected and then sent to the brain, the brain is what creates the colour, each wavelength gets ASSIGNED a colour - the universe has no intrinsic colour.
