In Response To: The pfhor can't read their terminals (VikingBoyBilly)

: This is something I've been thinking of for a while... I'm just gonna post
: it: What we perceive as "color" is the frequency of photon waves
: hitting our retina (the back of your eyeball lined with cones and rods).
: The method it sends electrical signals to the brain is based on timing:
: high frequencies are blue, low frequencies are red. Our pupils are black
: because they are absorbing all waves within the visual spectrum; black is
: the only color reflected back because black is coded for whatever's
: outside our visual range. The pfhor don't have human eyes, but the fact we
: see them as red tells us something: the surface of their eyes reflect
: waves in the red-to-infrared frequencies. They may see into ultraviolet,
: but that's speculative. What is fact is that they don't see red frequency
: waves because they are not hitting their retinas.

: The terminals in all the pfhor ships are in red text. They can't read it.

: But that's silly. There is another logical conclusion: the red text is a high
: amplitude wave that includes infrared waves we can't see, or a combined
: wave that includes UV waves. I think the former is more probable... except
: that's weird. It means they have a blind spot in the middle of their
: visual spectrum. If their eyes reflect red, they HAVE to be absorbing the
: green and blue waves above that frquency. If they saw infrared as well,
: that's like... remember how I said Blue is high and Red is low in our
: spectrum? Green is in the middle. Imagine us having green pupils and not
: seeing green.

: The red text could be a red frequency that is higher than the red frequency
: their eyes reflect. And they gave the s'pht those red cloaks!

:

I just got another theory: The red text probably appears as black to them, but the black terminal screen may actually be an infrared or UV color that appears black to us.
