Where does color originate from /sci/?If the elements, and atoms themselves have distinct color spectrum, where does color originate from?Do atoms manufacture color or does color manufacture atoms?
Its all star slop, but do the stars make it, or does it make the stars? A symbiosis?
>>16894328"color" as we interpret it comes from the fact that our sensory organs have sets of rods and cones that are photochemically active to certain intensities and certain wavebands of light; these cells convert light absorption into neuroelectrical signals and our brain interprets the strength of these signals as 'brightness', 'redness', 'greenness', and 'blueness'.
>>16894363"Interprets"? Could you....clarify what you mean? You saying that color ....does not exist?Does Black/White exist?
The colors were real in my mind...
>>16894337What about regular star fusion?
>>16894328i see colors in a way that cannot be mathematically explained or described even, so i dont know. the only linguistic description i have of them is that i cannot describe. im okay at math otherwise. even neuronscience and all ive read about it doesnt deliver answers.
>>16894412I think up to element 26, a small amount of Iron in really, really big stars. Everything else requires....more forceful mergers...
>>16894328it originates from the mind. colors are a map
>>16894432Do black and white exist outside of the mind?
>>16894379Color as we perceive it doesn't exist. Light at 535 nm only appears 'green' to us because that's the wavelength that our green cones peak at. Our cones respond to different bands of photon energies, and our brain uses the ratios along with the exposure to rods which have a much broader response, and our brain interprets the different ratios as color.If the cones that respond more yellow-green light peaked somewhere out in the infrared, what we interpret as 'red light' now would probably be interpreted as closer to orange or maybe even yellow depending on how far down the spectrum it went and how wide the distribution was.Some insects have tetrachromatic vision instead of trichromatic like us, with a fourth cone being able to detect parts of the ultraviolet spectrum, so they have a completely different wiring for what 'color' means, and many organisms only have two or even one type of cone cell. Hell, people are born partially or completely colorblind all the time, and the brain has to wire itself differently to interpret different saturations of cones.Even you and I likely don't have the same interpretation of colors because the spread and concentration of cone cells in our eyes will be slightly different and our brains will have had to build slightly different models for interpreting ratios as colors.
>>16894419Yes, that is missing in the infografic
Black and white do not carry enough information
We need a color force carrier in three information dimensions, not 2 dimensions 3 Dimensional RGB Chad Vs. BW 2D your waifu a shit
