Well if my black looked liek white to you, and your nlack looked
like white to me, then our perceptions WOULD be changed, and our
ideas of what is light or dark would also be reversed.
Here's an example, let's say your brain is programed like this:
With ColorThatISaw do
If X length of Light Waves then color = Blue;
If Y length of Light Waves then color = Green;
May I should rephrase that.
Learned Colors = Green, Red, Blue
With Color That I Saw do
If X length of light wave then color = 1;
If Y length of light wave then color = 2;
Now, If you saw Color 1, then you saw what you have been told is green.
So, let's say someone else has
If X length of light wave then color = 2;
If Y length of light wave then color = 1;
What you are told are the colors (Green, Red, Blue), haven't changed,
but the way that person B's brain figures them out HAS chnaged, now why
can't it be possible?
BTW, did the above example make any sence at all?
