Is the colors you see the same as the ones I see?
« on: August 16, 2010, 08:09:03 PM »
Anyone else pondered about this? The color that you see as red is really the color green that I see, but since you grew up to know that color has a specific purpose it would not make difference.


Heres a chart to grasp this question

To Me:                               To You:

Red looks like Red                  Red looks like my Green

Green looks like Green            Green looks like my Red



Or am I just talking out of my !@# here?

I have thought about this, you're not alone.  But then I go, but there are just those colors that go better together than others, so surely it's the same.  Then I think maybe those color combinations are just socially derived and you're made to believe two colors go together.  Then I kind of zone out for a few minutes, then I take some Tylenol.

I just watched that last night  :rofl  :rofl

As for the OP I've thought about it quite a bit actually. I honestly think we all see the same colors (except for the color blind) because we can all agree on the contrasts between light and dark colors.
For example i paint my room white its going to be bright in there. I paint it black and its going to be noticebly darker and all people notice that. My $0.02 anyways

If quarks are the smallest form of matter, then what makes up quarks? Then what makes up that? Ect...


Also if you shrink down to the size to the tip of the needle...the needle is actually flat :)

Probably the biggest question I have is what I discovered while studying Mythology in Philosophy.


We consider the Greek Gods to be myths, but yet in 700 BCE, civilization actually believed they were real; will future civilizations consider our God to be just a Myth as well? Could we be mistaken?

If the universe is expanding, how can it be infinite? If it is limited, what is outside?

I have had a few discussions with my friends about that exact same subject and it does boggle my mind.  I dont see how anyone could prove or disprove it and it makes it more fun to argue about.
