Topic	What if blue for me looks red for you? Is that possible?

More likely it's the opposite, and the world is actually made up of countless colours we can never see because of how our eyes are made. I say this because our eyes have three colour receptors that allow us to see colour (think like red/blue/yellow for paint, or RGB for computers). Dogs and cats only have two receptors. But there's some species of butterfly that have five. And the mantis shrimp has sixteen. In the carpet analogy, imagine us feeling the carpet, but something else is capable of feeling every individual follicle. I've heard of the mantis shrimp and that's always fascinated me. And sixteen is a LOT compared to us, but sixteen is also such a pussy number compared to say a billion. Colors we can't even begin to dream of, just how there are more stars out there than grains of sand on the planet, and we can't fit all of that into our heads and imagine it. --- Latest Game Completed 100% Resident Evil VII <cite>AzurexNightmare posted [p:948301142] in What if bl...
