The Light Show of Illusions

[CCoburn]

I recently read the brain dumbs down what we actually see as the mind would not be able to grasp it in its entirety.  This is quite thought provoking. Maybe there are other colours that complicate things from our perspective so the mind blots them out.

I've thought about this before. Electromagnetic energy is all around us, but we are oblivious to most of it. If we could actually perceive it, it would be everywhere(muddying up our reality), but various parts of the spectrum have specific purpose or function that has nothing to do with aesthetics.

I'm not sure what other colors they might appear other than what we are already privy - can a color even be imagined that doesn't exist? The visible portion which is just a small slice right around the center yields everything from pure black(no colors) to brilliant white(all colors) and everything in between.

What else might be a little "thought provoking" is the fact that's it's all photons traveling in waves and how changes in the measurable properties of the wave yields all this different phenomena.

And the little voice is slightly prompting me to say that this is points for intelligent design over chance, but don't wish to start an argument here.
