Removing the mystery in light and colour
it is said that photons are transparent and that light and colour are produced in the brain. Here I will suggest that photons are not fully transparent, but are a tiny amount of light ~ energy translated into the form of light.
It is probably impossible to make an instrument which can read such a minute amount of light [hence we think it is transparent], due to the size of a photon up against the size of any particles reading it. Any kind or reading of a particle/s derives a certain amount of translation &/or change to that particle.
It is simply so that a vast amount of photons with a minute amount of light, creates what we macroscopic instruments see as light.
Secondly comes the question of colour, how can photons moving up and down in a wave motion literally be a given colour? Surely its because a minute amount of energy in the form of what we call a photon, is a translation of energy ~ given that we know there are other translations of energy ~ other kinds of particles.
A wave pattern is a further translation of energy because the photons have a behaviour. Anything that makes effect or is an effect of energy can here be classified as a behaviour. Any kind of behaviour, be it a wave, a spin or polarity, is a change or translation upon energy, and that is what particles are – I state.
Third problem arises concerns, ‘what is seeing’? The brain can act simply as an instrument similar to a camcorder or camera. Such instruments starting with a very basic organic eye or box camera, can interpret and record light. The brain, similar to a computer, can also create images or more perceptions of images. If you have no eyes or are otherwise completely blind, the brain may still see such perceptive ‘images’, but cannot ‘colour them in’ apparently even when dreaming [so I am informed].
so why does the brain compose images and colours instead of just seeing [as like a camera]?It is perhaps quicker for the brain to draw perceptual images and add colour to them internally, than it is to make a full translation in terms of being a visual instrument like a camcorder. Yet if there is no light source whatsoever, it is the same as being blind, and the brain cannot give the attribute of colour and brightness without light.
It appears that the brain and eyes considered as an instrument, can see light by the act of photons hitting the eye, this is because all forms of energy are translations of energy and their behaviour changes upon their interaction. Thus the very thingness of light interacts with the eye giving the then property of seeing, which is literally interaction of behaviours of energy. In other words; you/your eyes, are made of energy and light is made of energy, when two translations/kinds of energy meet [interact] there is an exchange of information and behaviours.
So what about colour blindness? This occurs when the brain produces incorrect colour data concerning what hues to attribute to a given colour. The brain has the subjective ability to correct what it thinks are mistakes in its ability to see a given thing in the world. This is much like how a computer acts internally, it doesn’t see what’s on the screen, it merely produces that image upon the information/data it has internally. If the data is incorrect then it will produce the wrong image
The same can be applied to the fact that people can only see some colours or have more hues of a certain colour like greens or yellows for example, in people who live in areas of the world devoid of some colours, or where precedence is given to hues the brain considers as more important. It appears that the brain can only produce a given resolution in colour data concerning fundamental hues.
Fascinating thing this ‘energy’, when it changes, it changes into something!
