A very...ummm...interesting point. But it does not describe the creation of color. It describes how the *frequency* of electromagnetic radiation in the visual range is affected by relativistic effects in atoms. Color itself is a subjective sensation in the mind. It does not exist until the radiation reaches the mind via the eyes, optic nerve, and visual cortex.
I've been waiting for someone to point out that this is identical to the 'tree falling in the forest' thing. It all depends on how you define sound (or color): is it what happens in your head when your senses detect real-world phenomina such as compressed waves of air (or photons of specific energies)? Or is it the real-world phenomina. Or could it be *both*, and which you *mean* depends on context? -- |_ CJSonnack <Chris@Sonnack.com> _____________| How's my programming? | |_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL | |_____________________________________________|_______________________|
