Applies to many other colors as well. I “understand” why that is but it hurts my brain to think about.

    There’s a great old Vsauce video that goes over something like this but even crazier to think about: “is your red the same as my red?”. How can you know if your red is the same color as what someone else calls red? We could both be looking at different colors, but we both call it red. Even crazier, how do you explain colors to someone born blind?
