But compared with human eyesight, they could still see more 'colors' - As we see (almost) the same white in incandescent bulbs as LEDs and fluorescents, they might actually see the component colors and their intensities.
Not unlike how we may hear a combination tone when multiple other tones are played, and hear the difference (or sum) of them.
Technically, all the colors are fake. They're just the halucinations of a brain trying to understand the input from sensory organs.
That doesn't make them fake, in the same way that x can mean 2. You are merely representing a given value in a useful way.
I hadn't thought about it that way.
But is my red the same as your red? Hmmm?
if two people can both point to red and agree that it's red, that's close enough. anything beyond that is just pointless esoteric debate.
I disagree that it's pointless. I think it may be beneficial to humanity (eventually) to establish whether or not there is an objective reality which we all experience.
i agree, but that's a job for neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and psychology; not a pack of dorks on the fediverse.
But I want to contribute to humanity in a meaningful way!
-me, a dork on the Fediverse nearly incapable of contributing to humanity in a meaninful way
buy guns
Working on it.
But what if the dorks on the fediverse are scientists?
then by all means
it's more in the philosophy ballpark, which shapes the interpretration of methodology and the consequences, in my humble opinion.

It was a joke?
hahaha?
Some people see numbers instead/along with colors, and different people see different numbers, so I guess the colors might be different between people too
No, colors are real. And you see them.
Pink isn't real. There is no wavelength of light that is pink.
Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.
Light frequencies between blue and red don't exist.

Imagine how OP their colour perception would be if they did have that mental processing power
I hate that it invalidates this episode of radiolab, which is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of podcasting:

i saved the video at the 13 minute mark where they do the audio representation of the vivid colors. still worth a watch/listen
I don't think of it as drama so much as docucomedy.
Really wish talking about what shrimp see didn't remind me that in farming them females have one eye removed to promote breeding
I am eternally gratefull the practice is forbidden in Europe in organic cultivation. It's one of the small wins that fly under the radar. It's still a long way to people choosing for organic, awareness is the start of every change.

So are any animals actually capable of seeing the invisible spectrums of light? Because humans technically can see them, since we make tools that allow us to. Suck on that, other animals. 😤
Like infrared and ultraviolet? Yeah, there are animals that see those.
And all the other stuff we yse to see celestial objects and communicate long distance. Our phones are able to see colours we can't!
