Black is not a colour.

Hahaha... black is a lack of pigmentation. The difference between black and transparent is that a transparent object has colour, but lets light from other sources pass through rather than reflecting it. Due to it possessing pigmentation, it absorbs part of the light and lets a part through, as well as reflecting a part. This is due to the molecular structure and how it interacts with a light wave of a certain frequency and amplitude. A black object reflects nothing. It simply absorbs all the light due to a total lack of pigmentation to reflect any part of the light back.

I said that but on a dumber level, to suit him better, still doesn't believe me

 

[Lolbit_isawesome]

white is all colors

 

[Lolbit_isawesome]

Black is the Absence of all colors because it does not reflect and colors while White is all the colors because it reflects all of the colors

That makes me think... A blue object is an object that only reflects blue light and absorbs the rest. But then what colour is an object that only reflects ultraviolet radiations? Is it ultraviolet?!

 

[TtTOtW]

It is part of the same spectrum but a different segment of that spectrum. Some animals can see UV or IR. So yes they are colours, but not humanly discernible colours. We do absorb it though. As a green object absorbs red and blue light, so it only redirects green light for absorption or perception elsewhere. The blue and red light energy has been transformed into a different form of energy, generally heat energy. So similarly, UV affects us, though we cannot naturally perceive it. That's why Altaïr goes to Nice in summertime. To have that crispy UV baked image once in a while.

Interesting thought: people who have artificial lenses in their eyes (due to cataracts) can see UV-A rays because the artificial lenses don't have the same UV filter that out eyes' natural lenses do. A lot of flowers have UV streaks on them which bees and other pollinators use to locate them and their nectar/pollen. So, yes, many things are colored UV.

It’s a whole other world most of us will never see, it’s saddening

You may like to toy with black light though.
Yes, black light exists! It's actually an UV-A light, so you can't see it (hence the name), but it still makes glow fluorescent objects. That's mostly used to create cool effects in shows or nightclubs.

I was gonna say just that

 

[A guy who likes sfs]

All this talking about light reminded me of this vid

I saw that , interesting

 

[A guy who likes sfs]

Yeah, same. 1000000000000 frames, that’s crazy

 

[Gecko Gekkota]

Yeah, same. 1000000000000 frames, that’s crazy

toooooooo many frames

 

[A guy who likes sfs]

toooooooo many frames

To few for watching the speed of light.

 

[A guy who likes sfs]

toooooooo many frames

And I forgot one zero, it’s 10trill not 1.

Unfortunately, the center core is gone. It fell over due to rough seas.

That is not unfortunate. It is a reason for Elon to build a new contraption.

And give it a cool name too

My god, SpaceX really should do something about their stuff falling over...

Nah, cos the only thing cooler than an autonomous booster landing itself in HD, is an autonomous booster crashing and blowing up in HD.

Lol I can’t argue there

Me neither
