Wow

Lol, where to start... Um, out brain constantly creates something out of nothing. Ever catch a baseball? How did you know where it was? Not because it was where was. It takes time for your brain to process everything, and the baseball isn't stopping, so where your eyes told the brain it is, is wrong. It's actually ahead of that, and your brain knows that, so it redraws the image in your vision to where it actually is. Duh.
Color is real? Lol, so only the defined colors exist because that is a real property? Lol. So tell me them why fish who can see into the ultra violet, have designs and patterns that can only be seen in the ultraviolet wavelengths? That doesn't exist because our eye can't see it,? And the different frequencies of ultraviolet light they reflect are not different colors to them? And fish didn't evolve to see in the ultralight spectrum? Even though ultraviolet light is the only light around below a few feet of water?
And hello, cameras and ccds and photo paper don't display colors automatically, the spectrum is programmed, Einstein. And developing fluid was made to show colors the same as we see them by pigments in the fluid. Ever notice an adjustment called hue? You can change green to red, and blue to brown just by adjusting that . How is that possible? You think zero means display the inherent color? No, zero is programmed to show a certain color that matches what color or brain tells us it is.
Before you spout more stupidity, look up color film processing and cc'd construction and led display color generation. Color an inherent property,? Hahaha! The real world seen as it is isnt very interesting, folks. Just black and whites without degrees of brightness.. How about this -look up optical color illusions. A painting of a yellow translucent surface. Then tell me color isn't created in the brain. But I think you already know this, and are just being a troll.
