    After losing the lens from one eye after surgery (and none was implanted), I discovered how much more I could see into the near UV. A common fluorescent "black Light" tube is barely visible in daylight with normal vision. With my "lensless" eye (and a contact), I could easily see a lighted tube as a purple-white glow from tens of feet away in full outdoor daylight.

    What I find particularly fascinating is that if we could see UV light we would most likely also see colours there. This would of course only be the case if we had multiple photoreceptors for different UV wavelengths but it is still quirky to think that colours are actually just illusions.

      What i mean is that colours are only some certain wavelengths. There isnt a colour for every wavelength. That means colour is not a physical property of light.

    • @nmatavka
      @nmatavka 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      There are people that can see UV (have an eye that can handle it). It's not THAT rare, about 1 in 10 I think... but that 1 in 10 can ONLY see it if they ALSO have a missing eye lens or a prosthetic eye lens. This means if someone like that looks at light through a prism, his "violet" will stretch out a bit longer than yours, but he'll need to wear sunglasses when he steps outside so as not to be blinded.

    • @kreaturen
      @kreaturen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      I'm also curious how the brain would represent it, especially the so called color wheel. I mean, blue blends into red only because of brain magic. If we could see UV, surely some other color would blend into red instead of blue. Or, perhaps, instead of new colors, the color spectrum would simply get shifted (to account for the broader spectrum), i.e. UV would become blue, and current blue would become more greenish.

      Red Point Um, you evolved to have PALER skin, not clearer, only because living further away from the Equator means less Sun and UV ray exposure, and the need for melanin decreases.
      That's why racism is so stupid. If all the European and Asian people moved back to areas closer to the Equator, everyone on the planet would have the same skin tone after several centuries and vice versa.

    At 1:33 - the 'haze' with a UV camera is a great demonstration of why the sky is blue. It's showing that the UV light refracts more than the lower frequencies, and since the blue/violet spectrum of visible light is the highest frequencies, they scatter more. A UV camera isn't picking up those lower frequencies, so it can't see anything through the 'haze'. :)

    • @Broadpaw_Fox
      @Broadpaw_Fox ปีที่แล้ว

      @Elegance - well, the blue and violet are the highest frequency light we can perceive, though the violet is right at the edge. It will technically scatter more, but it's harder to perceive and overpowered by the blue. Think about sunset though- as it gets darker the sky goes much more towards purple, though it's a deep relatively dark shade. That's when it's most easily perceived, because you're getting more of it scattered in from the brighter part of the atmosphere and the more easily seen colors aren't as powerful because they scatter less, and are further away. Also, to be clear - I'm talking about the deepest, latest stage of sunset, in the twilight before full dark. That's when the violet is most visible. 😀

    • @Broadpaw_Fox
      @Broadpaw_Fox ปีที่แล้ว

      @Elegance - that one is a bit different. Red light is the other end of the spectrum, the lowest frequencies visible. Those are much better at staying coherent and "punching" through the atmosphere, and when the sun gets low in the sky, or when there's a lot of particulate in the air (like smoke from a fire) then the red frequencies are the most able to get through that obstruction. At the beginning of sunset there's a lot of the atmosphere between you and the sun, and that means there's a lot of various particles it has to go through, and that colors the light by scattering it around, and only the lowest frequencies (red for the visible light) gets through. You can watch it happen as the sun sinks lower - it starts out a bright gold, then fades to red until the sun is dim enough to look at directly with naked eyes (only that last minute or so) and it's a deep red.
      But that's only the atmosphere causing that color shift - the sun is still the same color all day, and always emitting the same amount of light energy. Even though it looks red sometimes, it's still basically white. It's just our dirty air that colors it at times. 😀

      A normal high end DSLR can be modified to remove the UV and Infrared filter on the camera's sensor, then use an appropriate filter to only allow UV or infrared into the lens. The downside? I did this to a camera and really enjoyed the IR end of things but filters for UV are VERY expensive and hard to find. For one thing, just try typing UV filter into a search and you will get nothing but filters that prevent UV rather than allow it to pass while blocking visible and IR. It is for these reasons I have yet to take a single image in UV light.

    Few years later I went to the doctor again and they did further tests, I was suppose to look at different lights in the colour spectrum, only to be able to see the UV lights as their true colour.
    Since then I always wear glasses during day that block majority of UV light so I can properly see during day.
    It's always weird being able to see colours most people can't.
    Where I am able to see a certain colour.
    Most people either see bright pink or dark blue, some even see just greyish black.
    I do have a massive advantage at night, where I see near clear without extra lights, other people always need extra lights to see normal.

      If you're talking about picking up things based solely on the background radiation (like we do with visible light), you would find that there's a problem with the signal to noise ratio. Radio astronomers deal with this issue, but then they have giant dish antennas that are hundreds of feet in diameter.

For thermography it is also the most common one (the brighter = the warmer). I forgot the name of the scale closest to the one used by Predator - I guess, FLIR call it something like "medical" scale. What is good about it is that smallest temperature gradients become visible. Though the overall scale is somewhat inconvenient to use.

Now instead of mapping it to one color, lerp it; remap 0 to 1, blend from blue (0) to red(1) and what do you get? A gradient from blue to red. But what if we input the values of the UV light instead?

      Rory, not sure if you are joking but just in case. A person with melanism would actually look unnaturally dark. It could be argued that some specific races and regions particularly Ethiopians have evolved with melanism, and having the trait has become a norm but even among them there are some people that go past the natural very dark brown skin tone to truly having black skin color.

    • @kshitijjhalak1939
      @kshitijjhalak1939 6 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I don't think complete melanism occurs in humans. If melanism occurred in humans then you would have people with extremely dark skin regardless of the skin colour of their parents. Also calling people from Africa melanistic doesn't make sense because melanistic animals like panthers can have fair/normal skinned cubs and you don't see two dark skinned people having a unusually fair skinned child unless it is albinism.

    A great future video would be one showing how plants determined their need for UV production in their coloring and how they communicated that need to successive generations. I think that learning about the process where it recognized that bees and other insects saw with UV, then determined a way to create UV coloring in their cells, would be a great study.

      @aseliatheeternal202 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Usual digital and phone cameras comes with internal UV (and IR) blocking filters. Usually one have to remove the UV filters in order to make it to work.
      *the removal of UV blocking filters is way harder than one may think because in most of cases it is a coating on the camera lens and sensor itself. So the risk of breaking it is very high.

    • @Eralen00
      @Eralen00 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I modified an old point-and-shoot camera into a UV/IR camera. There's a filter that blocks UV/IR light that lies between the lens and the sensor. Remove that and use either an UV or IR-pass filter or any dark lens filter (i used a dark red photography filter for IR)
