Inspired by the perhaps strange idea of asking if something exists or not. I ask, does anything really exist at all? Does Blue exist, for example?
Now some of us would say that the very thought of being able to refer to something by a name would be common sense proof that it exists. So does a general concesus mean that something exists? What about the color blind? Now someone may say, of course there is a color Blue! It can be measured! Blue is photons oscillilating at 450 nm. But another might say, that is a paltry existence, a bunch of transient particles without mass waving about, only to be snuffed out of existance by a retina. And like the tree that fell in the forest, if the wavy particles don't hit a retina, are they still Blue? Muddling the question further, there are those that dispute Blue is a color at all. These 'Synthenasist' claim Blue is a taste, a sound, or perhaps even a feeling. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
