1212,

I've wondered about this for a long time, and the phrase "in the eye of the beholder" always comes to mind. Even if our sensory organs are all of the same type, and scientific instruments can be used to make precise measurements, who can say that the connections between our eyes and brains are wired up all the same? There's such diversity in humanity, I seriously doubt that I see exactly what you see, and that we interpret it the same way in a kind of universal understanding. Isn't that what art is all about?

It would be interesting to devise an experiment that would determine the answer to the question, but first I must finish my perpetual motion machine.

Different Coloured Eyes i was just thinking about this... like if you have green eyes do you see red as a different colour to someone with blue eyes... and how can this be proved... cos if one person identifies a colour as red, they wouldnt actually know if it was different to what everyone else thinks of as red... because since birth they will have seen everyone elses blue as red and therefore just associate the colour as red... ...im confusing myself so much ! so do people with different coloured eyes see Rating: 5
