You know whats really strange?
something i learnt in my biological psychology class.
The optic nerves in the eye, they fire continuously in darkness.
And they stop firing when light falls on them!
(of course they stop firing temporarily, and there are different optic nerves that are sensitive to different colors, and light contrasts, so technically not all of ur nerves will stop firing on white light, only those that are sensitive to white light)
Could this mean that, darkness and blackness are a result of optic nerve activity, and if you have absolutely no optic nerve activity, you will just see whiteness?
Maybe all blind ppl with no optic nerve activity at all are seeing all white, but they can't tell you if its white or black cos how would you explain to them what is white or black?
