Colors of an Orange

Science never stops to amaze me! Do you know recently, our brilliant scientists have invented a microscopic camera that takes pictures of an object as a person sees or perceives it? A tiny chip is inserted near the eye of a person, somewhat like a tiny piercing. This chip can be controlled via software. The chip can be commanded to take the picture of an object from the signals that the eyes send to the person's brain. 

When it was tested with a set of 1000-odd people, the picture of the same orange appeared in different colors for each individual. And without any doubt, every single person called the different shades as Orange color only!

Data shows that the color perceived by person A as Orange always appears blue to person B which is totally opposite in the RGB frame. Person B believes his or her perceived blue to be orange all his life. 

Similarly, person C perceives the orange color of person A as purple. Whenever he or she sees orange color, he/she sees it as purple but calls it as orange. Person A, B, and C all call the same object as orange color irrespective of the shade their brain perceives. 

How mind-boggling this is! Just imagine how different your world could be from your parents, spouse, sibling, or friend's world. Even the same person with whom we spent the maximum time of our life sees everything differently.

Let's rejoice in the colors of this world and I hope some scientists actually do this experiment sometime to prove a perceived concept. Till then I hope you enjoyed the unconventional imagination!

P.S. This is just a perceived concept. In my knowledge, no such experiment has been done.

Mars in her bridal makeup

The Sun shines bright in his full glory as he looks at his beautiful daughters orbiting around him in love. The daughters when immersed in their dad's warmth don't look at anything else. However, when they turn around, the playful sibling time ignites its own fun. Today during sibling time, the glamorous blue-green Earth, along with her brother moon, got into some mischievous mood. She can't stop admiring the blushing and bright form of her little sister Mars. Mars is waiting to lose herself in love. Her dad will send a cosmic message via meteors to extraterrestrial planets. The messenger meteors will first go to Centauri stars to let them know that gorgeous Mars is ready to get married.

Mars in her bridal makeup

Earth fondly recollects the wedding of her sister Jupiter. "You know Mars, Jupiter was furious when father sent meteors for her wedding. But she melted down as soon as Proxima Centauri uncle gladly accepted the offer for his handsome son Proxima D." 

"And do you remember her blue-pink blush when Proxima sent his special messenger meteor only for Jupiter?" Moon added.

"We can still see her changing colors all the time. Must be the meteors' messages reflecting on her." Earth giggled.

Jupiter changing colors

Mars waited patiently for the chuckles to stop so that she can ask her curious question. "Didi, your children believe Venus didi symbolizes love, sex, and comfort. Please tell me some stories of your children falling in love. How does Venus didi help them in their married life? Can she help me also, if I need it?"

"Have you already got a private message from any of Centauri uncle's sons?" Moon started pulling her leg.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun on both sides." Earth rejoices remembering her children falling in love. "Each time my child falls in love, I feel the exuberance of emotions. But often my children face troubles in love and seek help from our kind sister Venus. She is ever ready to help my children. But, it is very sad to see that many of my children fail to understand the real meaning of love. My dear sister, in love, you don't expect anything. If you want something in return, don't call it love." 

The heartfelt advice stuck a chord in Mars' heart. As she waited patiently for a reply from the cosmos, she kept searching for the real meaning of love. She seeks more advice from her enlightened sister. "Didi, it is not the first time I will find love. I was born out of love and am existing because of the love that holds me along with you all. Love seems to have many forms. Is there anything in this universe that is devoid of love?"

The wise Earth reflected upon the depth of Mars' words. "Love is not an emotion. It is our very existence. Every emotion we feel is due to love. Love makes this world beautiful and colorful. And I am waiting for your colors also to change as our vibrant Jupiter's. These colors make our life interesting." 

It was time to get into chores of life but Mars kept contemplating and waiting for the messenger meteor, while shining bright in her bridal makeup.
