The electromagnetic waves are the same for everyone, the hardware that interprets them is also.
Yes, we all see the same colours.False. There are cultures which only have two different classifications of colour, and they only see two colours. Blue and green are one and the same to them.
That doesn't mean they can't see the entire range of the visible spectrum. Blue and green may be the same to them, but they could still see the difference.An experiment was set up, and it turns out they couldn't. Hang on, I'll see if I can find a link..
That's because their brains have been wired to only identify two colours. I imagine they can still detect the difference between the blue and green, even if they consider them one and the same.
I don't know, I'm tired and this is difficult to wrap my head around.I'm having trouble finding it. Can't remember what the hell the video's called. But basically, they showed seven colored squares on a screen. Six were the same shade of green, and one was blue, and they were then asked to identify the odd one out, and just stared at the screen dumbfounded.
