Can you explain the open mapping theorem through the color wheel?
>>8898230
fuck that, how do you propose to explain the color of food through the color wheel?
my man
What about taupe things?
>>8898299
there's another spectrum of intensity as well

>all of life can be explained by a thing that doesn't even physically exist
good one
>>8899148
now you get it friend :^)
>>8899148
Variations of light reflecting are physical. With the right bends and angles, you could create the wheel.
>>8899474
you can't create colors themselves because they are not a physical property of matter
they don't exist
the way your brain interprets specific wavelengths of light bears no significance outside of your head
>>8899484
By that line of reasoning, literally nothing has any significance outside of your head
>>8899587
now you're getting it

uh... yeah?
I can't really argue with that.
Was it Sagan who said that if we are alone in the universe we are its only way to be aware of itself?
That statement is 100% on the money.
Anyway, color vision is pretty fucking low on importance scale, as far as senses go.
Sight itself is pretty cool and so is hearing, but they are still just (really shitty) tools we have to interact with reality on our own terms, like seeing solid, defined objects where there is 99% just empty space, gathering information from vibrations.
So yeah, sight and hearing are cool, but people who lack either exist and the world keeps spinning..
Touch is an interesting sense, while it is just your atoms repulsing atoms of whateverfuck you're interacting with (you will never ever physically really touch anything), but at the same time we will never have people, who can pass through solid objects, even though that would be neat.
What I'm getting at is science is about looking beyond your personal perception of events, so that Universe can be a little bit more aware of itself.
