Our unique worlds

It is said that my world is different to your world. Sure, we all have very different experiences and different understandings. But have you ever wondered that what we see in this world - the trees, the buildings, the people or whatever it may be, also be very different for each of us. Well, how do we see this world? Through our eyes. And how do we understand this world? Through our brain. Let's see what science tells us how this works.

Our eyes work just like camera. They take pictures of the world around us and send the pictures to our brains. Our brain then makes sense of what we see.

In the picture above, is "the actual image" real for us or "the final image"? Let me elaborate on this question. Let's say my brain is little different to yours, in the sense my brain doesn't twist the image full 180 degrees, but 179 degrees. This means I may see this world a little twisted like 1 degree twisted. For me, a straight line would mean a line with 1 degree angle. This will always be normal for me because there may never be a way to know what I think is normal is actually not normal. I may think the real straight line is having 1 degree twist rather. There can be many other deformations which are even harder to percieve like angle in some other axis, or very little blur, or some slight color blindness. 

There can also be differences in the eyes which can result in different images. Now just think if you and me are looking at the very same object, how many chances are there that we can see it differently. Think of a very basic object, let's say a ball.

Environment can also have effect on it. Different lightening can show this ball in different colors and shades. Distance can change the shape and size of the ball.

These are just physical modulations. But the most common modulation is psychological. Often we see things the way we think it is rather than what it actually is. We all have read things wrong some time or the other. We all see different things in the same cloud. That is because our mind percieves the same image differently.

Now, for a moment let's assume that we all already have the images stored in our brains. These pictures are projected on the eye lenses and in turn reflected outside. If that can be true, we all may be making our own world every single moment. Despite, we all being together at one level, we may keep living in our own very unique worlds.
