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
