2 bad emoman u were 2 l8.

And the "WORMSKULL" thing isn't that hard.

hmm the bear is not white the bear is black, the fur on a polar bear is clear and the bears skin itself is black your all wrong, thats why some polar bears look blue and not white.

They're white.

nothing is white, nothing. Not even white curtains or white paint. It will always get a hue of some other colour.

Polar bears are a bright yellow if anything.

SO WHAT, they're white, so snow isn't white? and and white doesn't exist, AND THE BEAR IS WHITE!

correct, snow isnt totally white
It will have a hue (very faint one maybe) of some other colour in its envoirement(sp?)

Want colors?

Black isn't a color really, just a name.
Since black is the "name" of nothing, if there were nothing in the world it would be black.

Here's another Color Theory.
Maybe no one sees the same colors actually, maybe what you see as, red, for an example, could be blue to me, the reason why this could be true is, that we've all learned the names of a color, like if i were inside you looking out of your eyes, maybe i would see the world in a different way.
We've also learned bright and dark, what colors are cozy and what colors are scary.

you are so wrong...

Color originates in light. Sunlight, as we perceive it, is colorless. In reality, a rainbow is testimony to the fact that all the colors of the spectrum are present in white light. As illustrated in the diagram below, light goes from the source (the sun) to the object (the apple), and finally to the detector (the eye and brain).

1. All the "invisible" colors of sunlight shine on the apple.

2. The surface of a red apple absorbs all the colored light rays, except for those corresponding to red, and reflects this color to the human eye.

3. The eye receives the reflected red light and sends a message to the brain.


So metabee, the reason why black is considered a no-colour, is because the surface of a black object absorbs all the "invisible" colours (which is also why it gets hot after a while). And White reflects them all. Not because it is nothing.


as for your 'theory'
what you described is colour-blindness, which i must say, is quite real.
However, with so many systems based on colours (pH for example)
and since people react in common ways to different colours, it would seem highly unlikely that this would apply to everything.

That wasn't color blindness, what i said was, that every1 saw colors, color blindness is when you cant detect colors, when you see red and yellow as grey for instance.

if that was the case, how would we prove it, if all colours have the same 'names' for all persons
@ the theory

in other words, a paradox, as far as i can see.

Actually, color blindness doesn't necessarily make the colors monotone. I'm color blind to certain shades of red and green, making certain shades of red look brown and certain shades of green seem teal, or grey. Still, that's not what he meant Saikann. Take this view into perspective:

Metabee could be right. Could be. I've thought about that color theory myself. You learn everything you know from people who learned it before you, etc. Your reactions to colors are meerly learned reactions, it's not actually the color itself but a mental process that decides your reaction to it. Therefore there is some possibility to that theory. But, of course, there is no possible way to prove it. But because we can't disprove it, that means it is still possible.

ehem, to the wormskull one, maybe the wierd thing is, is that he's skull has worms or w/e ?
