Answer 1

Yes if you are colour blind. and also 2 people may see the same surface in 2 different colors depending on their sensitivity.
human eye is sensitive only to electro magnetic waves with the wavelength of 480nm to 700nm.(ie- visible light from red to purple) but there are many type of em waves which we can't see but some other animals have the ability to see.( UV & IR)

Answer 2

Friend that's one of those questions that we just cant answer. I often wonder if what I perceive visually is the same as you or every one else. I put this question to my grandfather once when I was just a boy and he said. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and f*cks like a duck than it's a duck. This I pondered for some time until I came to see that it makes no difference. As long as we all agree it's a duck than it is.Irregardless of what you and I may think the continuum is and always will be....

Answer 3

I've often thought of this myself.


I usually think the world is a whole lot different than we see it. It's all a trick our mind plays on us so we can see something our pathetic brains can comprehend.
