from philosophy 101 for you beginners.. muahahah

Where is color. are atoms colored?

How far can you see? As far as the cones and rods in your eyes?

If grass is green because it reflects green light then is it Truly every color but green?

If color doesnt exist and its all in your head then are all your other senses just all in your head too?

Color is sense data kinda like touch and taste.. do we all just believe that we are feeling and touching it?

How do you know I am seeing/feeling what you are seeing/feeling?

actually i remember this from middle school... the answer is yes...

Eight blind mice feeling up an elephant...one says it's a snake, one says it's a mountain, one says it a rope, one says....nobody perceives anything the same as another...I like sex...now that statement could be that I as it is stated enjoy that particular act, another person could take it as I am comparing myself to sex.
How can anyone know if an atom is colored, has anyone ever seen an atom?...Color is anywhere there is light, except white which is the abscense of all color...I'll address you questions of color and vision a little later...there's a whole nother post on that question

well i still like my answer...

Yes but I'm feeling "snappy" tonight...

mmm... perception is universal to nature... but its alll relative to ones frame of referance...

Now what physiologists say:

As for vision, color and distance…
Rods and cones are two very different and separate cells that have nothing to do with distance. Rods are achoromatic(colorless) and scotopic(darkness) Their specialty is grays, blacks and whites. The more rods stimulated by a wavelength the brighter and object will appear. Cones are all color or chromatic and photopic, which is to say they react to light. Now getting to the basics it was a Czechoslovakian physiologist(Johannes Purkinje) that noticed colors are more vibrant at dusk; this is because as illumination begins to dim, fewer cones are activated by long wavelenghts rather than shorter ones…Example: rose red…it’s hue is produce by a long wavelength, and it seem bright because it stimulates so many cones…as darkness comes thos cones stimulated drop and the cones that are stimulate by a shorter wavelength(grass green)become brighter…finally at full darkness there is such a low illumination that very few cones are active and the rods began to take over…
As for distance that al depends on the accommodation(the degree in which light rays scatter) The greater the distance the light has to travel, the less the angle of the rays, which results in less bending. So as for distance that all has to do with the lens, and if you are nearsighted, farsighted or suffer from myopia…


Hit you head on your computer, did you feel that or just believe you did?

in the head....

i dunno, i didnt try yet...

Colour arises from the interaction between electrons and photons(light) therfor lone atoms can potentialy have a colour but i doubt there is anything sensitive enough to detect light from one atom

I believe that no one sees colours exactly the same but we are taught that the name for THAT colour is red so even if we dont see it as the same colour we can communicate about THAT colour.

But only sometimes.

right now all the colors are on the trees, everything else is pretty brown and frost dead...I love autumn!

mmmm, me too... though winter is my fav!

I think the answer is that it doesn't matter whether or not we are perceiving things in the same way, our brains work differently anyway so even if we saw things in exactly the same manner we would probably still think of them differently.
