    1:35 - I actually did this questioning when I was 7 8D
    The answer is... Yes, we are seeing the same colors. Mostly. Because while colorblindness is a thing, and what you described happens exactly like this to people with it or even synesthesia. Our brains and eyes tend to be pretty similar to one another due to genetics, so most of us have a varying degree of only a few differences on the whole spectrum. Different, but very hard to perceive and almost pointless in most of the cases, although we can actually TEST this, at home. There are colorblind tests that you can do, such as the "can you see a number?" and all.
    By the way you might be interested on seeing colorblind glasses that fix people's perceptions, they're reactions are quite heartwarming.

      ***** True, that my friend, is what we call a phaneron. You, nor anyone can prove that what I'm experiencing is even real.
      Btw there is kind of a trick to understand colors and see we follow patterns besides all that. Your own computer/phone. Electronics do not show the full spectrum for us in RGB, they just fool ourselves quite well to do so. They mix two wavelengths so close together that our brain literally can't notice it, so it interprets as a certain color.
      So I GUESS colorblind people may suffer a little more on this saying "Wait, that is not red...". Could be wrong.

    The gravity one is kinda trippy. In a sense, its like distant stars are just dead stars, and the light is just now hitting us. Millions of years later, my gravity is still passing through the universe. Now imagine in this never ending universe, inteligente life create a device that measures gravity and mass. To them it would be like im moving and alive, even though i died millions of years ago

    Certain colours make everyone feel certain things. Red makes us feel anxious, yellow makes us feel calm and so on. So that's an indication that we all see the same colours. Unless the reason we feel a certain way when viewing certain colours is that we associate those colours with certain objects.

    The last one doesn't work like people think it does. Gravity, like light, spreads out wider, the farther away it is from its source. It's called the inverse square law. Gravity's effect will become weaker until it is so diffuse that it is no longer relevant, even at the smallest scale.

    Trippy iv always wondered this same question ever since I was in elementary I always wondered that's if what I see and precive out of the world is the same as you see it or if what I see compared to what you see is totally differnt but as we know red to be red and you know red to be red then we would never know that red to me is perceived different the red is to you.

  • @slipknotfatman
    @slipknotfatman 6 років тому

    The first one is invalid because one mans perception of red will always be different from the next regardless of the truth. Context is what is key. One child is taught red on his mothers knee, a neighbor is taught blue. That is what matters, the color could be Green, there will still be history books years later titled "The Red vs. Blue Nuclear war". Because reality is not the issue, it's perception coupled with first impression.

    A couple of really great things about this video: Informative, interesting, with amazing graphics. However, as always, it is the speaking that let's you down.
    I know you are adament that you want to continue speaking yourself, which I suppose is fine, but If you want to grow, as you said at the end of your video, you will need to change something. I had to turn on subtitles just to understand what you were saying.
    Sure, it's not that fair, but UA-cam is a place dominated by English speakers, and if you want to grow here, you'll need to adapt.

    • @Kastelot
      @Kastelot 7 років тому +1

      True but subtitles do make up for it. Maybe he could remind people in the video or description they can turn on subtitles.
      If he wants to continue to dub his own video's that is.

    • @JadeRabbit-je4gd
      @JadeRabbit-je4gd 7 років тому +5

      Oberdiah I disagree. I actually happen to like the accent and could understand everything he said quite easily. I think his voice adds a uniqueness and helps him stand out. I'm not trying to sound rude so please don't take it that way.

  • @cureman433
    @cureman433 6 років тому

    Well i dont know if its right but..imo for the first one ( color perception ) where the trickest part comes up ( the point when eveyone has different perception, but had the same name for that color ). In my guess, yes we perceive the same color...but when we make it objective for them..let us say, he sees color blue but the other person sees red - in truth its actually red. This is when it really becomes tricky. If say the guy who personally sees blue but its actually red ; had been used to seeing it as blue, because of his childhood; he will say red, because of how he was told by many...but if everyone has different perception color and see that object is either red, blue or green or what ever, then they should not say red - as all of them - since, most people have different perception of color, thus having a hard time to validate which one is actually true..

    No.1 answer is to give both of them coloured cards and tell both of them to identify that cards colour

    • @Tykenolm
      @Tykenolm 5 років тому

      That doesn't answer it at all. The experiment says everyone may perceive the same color, let's say red, differently than another, but everyone calls it red. So if you see red the way I see blue, and we're handed a red and a blue card, we'll both correctly identify the cards, my red will just look different than your red.

      @Th3Raz96 5 років тому

      I really be wondering if I have that in some way, or if I'm just a really reasonable, agreeable person who happens to think the same things as other people very frequently. Like people doing things, giving me things, or bringing up topics directly after I think them, without me saying or otherwise indicating anything.
      I'm really honestly not very inclined to believe that I legitimately have some sort of supernatural ability, but it's just uncanny sometimes, and happens relatively often with many different people.

    imagine if traveling back in time is possible.
    You decided you will come back in this time after one minute to meet you.the moment you decide this you can see your duplicate next to you.
    let's call real you 'x' and the time traveller 'y'.
    after 30 second x haven't traveled physically in time yet but he still have power to make decision And what if he refuses his decision to traveling back.
    what would happen to the 'y' ?

    • @IrenicCryogenic
      @IrenicCryogenic 7 років тому +2

      shashank raul
      Well, if Y is there, that means that clearly a decision was made by x that warranted y being there. If x had truly decided to not time travel, then Y wouldn't have been there in the first place. Unless you believe in multiple timelines. In timeline one of space, x travelled back in time, in timeline 2, x did not. This means that although it appears that y did not appear because x changed their decision, y would just be in timeline one in which x did time travel. Either way, nothing happens to Y.

    • @slipknotfatman

      +Irenic Cryogenic This. Altho I already believe going back is impossible this makes it even more believable, if the op's statement had creedence then you cud go forward or back in time fuck up all sorts of shit, and then go to a version of yourself a minute before you first left and tell him to flip flop hos choice a few times and settle on no, which would repair the fabric of space-time; except you need to ultimately choose yes in order to leave to come back to tell yourself to choose no.....that's a paradoxymoron, which is a lovely sounding word I just coined lol unless I go back to 5 minutes ago and post this first.....but I won't....unless I do.....which I can't.....until I can.....which is never.....until Now......but......₩¥₩¥₩¥₩¥》《《《¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¡¿?

      If Y decided to change his mind while I’m next to him then the possibility of multiple timeline can exist. Because if Y were to have said, I change my mind, then x visiting y wouldn’t have happened less there is multiple time line.
      If the thought that multiple timeline does not exist then, if Before X visits Y, if it would be possible that Y would change his mind, then the “probability” of X visiting Y would not come to pass.

    • @jamesmcmanus
      @jamesmcmanus 7 років тому +1

      There is some cone cell variation in density, sensitivity, shape, etc. (Not to mention color blindness and the rare ability to see four primary colors.) But most of color perception happens in the brain. We're actually interpreting relationships between various colors and shades in a scene, not just perceiving raw signals from the retina. Many optical illusions take advantage of this. But the fact that an illusion can trick many people suggests that we probably do see things pretty similarly.

    • @kaiufkdlsmf
      @kaiufkdlsmf 7 років тому

      TickedOff Priest I'd say the most popular example of us perceiving the same object with totally different hues is the white/gold/black/blue dress. if we can all be so polarised with that, it is quite possible to fundamentally be perceiving colours entirely differently to each other

    For the third one, you cannot say that one is immortal without first defining what is life and death

    Can't you answer the first one by simply watching artists recreate a colorful piece of art. If the father painted an apple red his red and the child looked at it, the child would know instantly that his red was different than his father's. . . This is actually similar to how I found out I was green/yellow color blind. In elementary school I was using color pencils to color a forest and the teacher ask me why I was using the colors I was using. I told her that was what the color of the trees and grass looked like to me. So she told my parents they had me go to an eye doctor and I was told I was color blind. Certain greens look yellow to me and vice versa some pinks look red. Ect
