  1. This was part of the experiment that Newton did to demonstrate that white light is made up of a number of colours (7 in his imagination, an infinite number in reality)
  2. One thing you might want to look into (apart form the fascinating work of V Ramachandran that imatfaal mentioned) is the fact there are distinct groups of neurons in the visual system that respond to things like vertical lines, horizontal lines, movement, and so on. I have no idea whether this is pro or con your idea, though.
  3. What do you mean by dissociated? And why shouldn't photons with different energies follow "more or less the same path"?
  4. This looks like it might provide a good intro to the basics of computer architecture: http://www.aw-bc.com/info/carpinelli/ It even has a sample chapter which might cover what you need to know: http://www.aw-bc.com/info/carpinelli/ What sort of circuit simulator are you using? What language does it use? You really need a gate-level (logic) simulator, not a transistor-level (analog) simulator. Idealy, it should be possible to use a standard hardware description language (HDL) such as VHDL or Verilog. (VHDL is obviously far superior, but for some reason Verilog appears to be more popular). Or it might just have a graphical user interface. This paper gives an overview of the steps involved (but doesn't have much detail): http://db.grinnell.edu/sigcse/sigcse2013/Program/viewAcceptedProposal.pdf?sessionType=paper&sessionNumber=39 The simulator they use is available here: http://www.cburch.com/logisim/ There are some brief reviews of some other simulators here: http://web.eng.fiu.edu/watsonh/eel4709/MSP430/CPUSimulation/TeachingCompArchitecture.pdf
  5. It might also be possible to use neuroimaging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_neuroimaging
  6. What evidence, e.g. from neuroscience, do you have to support this idea? What mathematics do you think is needed?
  7. Then perhaps you need to better explain what you are saying.

    "Shereé M. Whitfield (née Shereé Fuller) (born January 2, 1970 in Shaker Heights) is an American television personality, socialite and fashion designer." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheree_Whitfield
  9. If we had 7 different colour sensors in our eyes, would we need to use 7 primary colours to reproduce the gamut of colours we would see? Or could we still get away with RGB? (I don't know...) It doesn't produce photons of different colours/frequencies/energies; it just separates them.
  10. So your great insight is that there are things we don't don't, especially about the future, and maybe even things we can never know or understand. Forgive me if I'm not impressed.
  11. The rules of the forum require you to answer the question here. But you have some great reviews there: "Reading this "book"(if you care to call it that) will leave you less intelligent than when you started. This should be sold along side toilet paper, since they serve the same purpose" is one of the kinder ones.
  12. The perhaps you could explain, rather than just posting a link.
  13. Except there is as much evidence that the "collective unconscious" exists as there is for telepathy or unicorns.
  14. What does that mean? Light is not constant: night is dark and day is bright. There are many universal constants. Time is not exanding (I'm not even sure what that would mean). The rest of your post is just nonsense.
  15. It is a TL;DR speculative article about AI (I stopped reading at "Kurzweil"). Maybe you need to start a new thread and say what you think is interesting about it. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the subject of this thread.
  16. So you have a vague idea and you want someone else to do the hard work so you can get a prize? "Hello Mr Shakespeare, I have this idea for a story: a girl and a boy fall in love and then die. See, it's brilliant. But I never learned to write so if you could write it down then I will be famous for centuries to come." No you can't. Which is why no one thinks the Earth is flat. (No one sane, anyway.)
  17. I find it odd that you label one factual statement and one parody of the OP's logic to be crazy speculation, but seem happy to accept the idea that "the ancients" new about photons and thought them sacred.
  18. I see. It might have been a mistake to say that (you did an equally poor job of explaining yourself last time.)
  19. There are not 7 colours (Newton just invented that number for mystical purposes). White light is a continuous spectrum of frequencies/colours.
  20. 1. How can the universe be moving, when it is all there is? 2. Also, objects which are moving only appear shortened from another frame of reference: the passengers on a train do not notice it is shorter; that is only apparent to the observers on the platform. You may not have noticed, but we are in the universe and would therefore be moving with it. 3. That is not what "flat" means in the context of the WMAP data.
  21. That wasn't the question. I wasn't aware there was a last time. What does nitrogen have to do with it!? Yet again, you are just throwing in more random nonsense instead of making an effort to explain or answer anything.
