Re: If There Was Absolutely No Light in the World, Would You Be Able to See Colors?
if a tree fell in the forest and nobody was there to hear it, would you be able to hear it?

Reversing the tree:
The event (tree falling) should be observed (hearing it) if you want to confirm its existence a la Schrödinger's cat, otherwise the two possibilities can't be distinguished Regarding perceived color I'm gonna back up rushy on this one - people wouldn't be able to perceive any colors (radiation reflected from an object reaching the retina), but materials may still retain their spectral reflectance properties. "Colors" themselves would still exist if you define them according to their electromagnetic wavelength, they just wouldn't be distinguishable without any light (electromagnetic radiation) to observe. But in the case that there was never any light, they'd be similar to an existence possibility that may come about but is never observed. Musings as a color science PhD student |

i don't think people matter, without a body to hear it through you would be no different to the sounds you aren't hearing. echos of a time since passed

or we could extend our perception of body and say if a tree fell in the forest and nobody was there to hear it, there was never a tree in the first place. the forest was a dream and the world never was

The hills have eyes, so is it so farfetched to think trees have ears?

There would be no biological purpose for eyes. The concept of seeing would not exist.
