Ok so since we’re here, I’ve always wondered what the world truly looks like. What we see is a result of our eyes process wavelength of light, but that is how OUR eyes processes light. Some animals process light differently, for example dogs see color differently than we do because they don’t process all the wavelengths we can. So how do we know we’re seeing all the possible wavelengths? How do we know our eyes aren’t slightly changing things?? What does everything actually and naturally look like?

This sort of experiment basically explains how we see things the same - most of us anyway, unless you have something wrong.
You can put parts of an eye in a test tube and they react the same way to the same wavelengths ignoring the very tiny differences in light getting through your cornea and lens and vitreous we’re basically all seeing things the same.
In history people have had ideas about things - one famous guy was convinced his color defect was caused by the jelly in his eyes being blue and not the usual clear - so much so that when he died he made them promise to cut his eyes up to prove he was right - he wasn’t, because we now know that color vision problems come from the photoreceptors being missing or faulty.
These sorts of tricks tell us a lot about how our eyes and brain interpret things - but like I said it’s all relative so your interpretation of something is strongly flavored by your experiences and preconceptions - so the actual wavelength isn’t the key, but your brain’s natural white balance and contrast detection is.
Movement is also really interesting - there’s so much going on around you that if you could see everything then your brain would be overwhelmed with information - so it chooses to ignore some of it, and that can make good illusions too.
Like this one.
There are only pink dots and they’re always there (other than the one turning off each time).
