Thoughts To Ponder

What do we see really?

I find the science of light and color fascinating. The idea of a beam of light hitting an object and which rays get absorbed by the object and which ones bounce off and into your corneas is just an interesting topic. When you really think about it, the color that we see is not actually the true color of the object. It is not the color that the object contains. The light that is reflected to us is what bounces off, while the rest of the light is taken in by the object. So in reality, a leaf is not actually green. It is every color but green. The same is true for any black flower or object. Black is what we think of as the absence of color, but it actually absorbs all colors, so therefore it is the only true container of all color. While white is thought of as being all colors, it actually reflects all colors, meaning it is the true absence of color. This can also be proven with paints. When you mix white paint with any color it lightens the color. You are essentially both striping color away from that hue, while also adding to a void. However, if you were to mix every color or hue of paint together it would create black.
So what then is the void of space? The idea of it is that it is true nothingness, but it is black which contains all colors. We are able to move about space with thrust from an engine or pressurized air, meaning it has to provide some kind of push back or friction. Otherwise an astronaut who loses their tether to their ship or satellite would not be able to utilize the pressurized air to thrust themselves back to the ship. Any kind of movement requires some kind of friction. So what is the void of space? Astronauts tend to practice the feeling of zero gravity by swimming in deep pools or even the ocean. This is not exact to space, but it does get them acclimated to the feeling of floating freely in an open area. It would be fascinating to me to find out what space actually is. There is so much light being poured out from stars and shot billions upon billions of light-years away, and yet Space is still so very dark. Of course, that may also just mean that there is nothing to reflect the light back to our corneas. That is what science theorizes. Now this still doesn't answer what the thrust is pushing against. I intend to do more research into this because I feel like someone else has thought this before.
