45 degrees is absolutely boiling for ANYONE in that heat.
Everyone would feel hot.
Bring it down to like 18 degrees, then the Ecuadorian might feel cool.
Find a way to disprooooove this theory...

Ok, 45 degrees Farenheit, not Kelvin.

45 degrees Kelvin would be hot for anything!

Quote from Krystal!That is infact not true, they can see other colors, but it's because of deffective perception. Some people's brains read things differently. For example, if I say that one color is red, and someone else says that the same color is indeed blue, how can I disprove them? It's just the way that their brain reads the information sent to it.
They cannot see different wavelengths, just interpret them differently due to faulty perception.

That's what I said.

Then your post was redundant. We have all heard of colour blindness.

Some people have a form of color blindness that does not make them color blind, but infact makes them view colors differently.

I think he was talking about Celsius.
Yes, this is an interesting debate. It is possible, but untestable...

If only we could read poeple's minds, or see what they see. Then it would be testable.

Or to transfer ones senses to another...

That's actually possible, by transfering said sense organ from one to another.

Color is perceived in the brain by comparing the level of activity involved in the three types of cone cells in the retina, each one responding to different wavelengths. The three colors they respond to are what we perceive as violet, yellow-green and green. When we see light, each cone reacts to it in different amounts, and the brain interprets the differences in activity between them to distinguish what color we perceive that light to be.
That's basically what we know about color. It's more or less impossible to determine if one brain sees one wavelength as "violet" and if another brain will see that same wavelength as "yellow". But does it matter? Those three cone cells take in the same wavelengths, and the brain compares them accordingly, so the relative colors appear similar enough for each person for this to not matter, even if the visual perception is different between people.

Everyone has had this idea between the ages 8 and 12.
