• Of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans can see a tiny sliver. If the total spectrum were expressed as 1000 miles, our color vision would amount to a few inches. • Visible light ranges from red at longer wavelengths (around 620-750 nm) to blue/violet at shorter wavelengths (around 450-380 nm). • Wavelengths roughly in the middle between red and blue are interpreted as green. • If both red and blue light are detected but green is not, we experience it as purple. • Purple does not correspond to a single wavelength of light; it is perceived by our brains when both red and blue light are present without green. • Therefore, while all color is a mental construct used to distinguish between a few wavwlwngths, purple is the most "imaginary" color because it does not exist as a distinct wavelength on the visible spectrum.

@@creepercrepe8910 if you're a content creator with influence over an audience of literally millions of impressionable fans, you have the responsibility to at least do the absolute bare minimum amount of research into the sponsors you choose to promote. if you can't even be bothered to do that, you shouldn't be accepting sponsorships. literally just a quick google search is all he would've needed to do in order to find this info. either he didnt do any research into the company before accepting the sponsor, which would be irresponsible, or he already knew about the controversy and still chose to promote them on his channel, which would be downright malicious. i love veritasium's stuff but there's no excuse for this imo.

Please, never use better help. They're on average, worse than going without therapy. Any positive experiences come from people without serious mental issues. Most people fortunately never have to deal with significant mental issues. At worst, they'll suffer from stress or mild depression. (Which, if its their first time, can of course feel overwhelming) Betterhelp works really well for mild issues like that. But the issue is, it creates a false deluge of positive reviews which are not indicative of the true quality. It would otherwise be a fine practice, but their advertising is fraudulent, and they often fail to present their limits to customers. And that's just the tip. There's the shady business practices, unqualified workers, selling of personal data etc. Stay away from them...

I was having a lot of jumping spiders crawling on my curtains. I would find one on my curtain every couple of days trying to live there. And I wasn't understanding why they kept getting on the curtain. And I would do my best to catch them and put them back outside. But after like the fifth spider, I realized that the curtains were the same color as the flowers on the trees outside my window and that they were coming from there. I knew then that they are somehow interpreting the color of my curtains as big flowers and that's why they're on my curtains. So I switched out my curtains to blue because I read that spiders don't like the color blue. And I haven't seen any since, so to everybody out there just as an f. Y. I. never use the same color curtains as the flowers in your yard. Oh and the color they were attracted to was coral or orange/pink
