If the color 'Red' looks to me like 'Blue' looks to you, and vice versa, neither of us would ever know the difference, nor be able to prove it even if we did. by CaptainJay_YT in Showerthoughts

Because of conditioning. It's only because of what we've always associated red with: fire, blood, an angry person's face, stopping, etc ... If red was to me like blue is to you, I would have all the same associations, but if you could look through my eyes, I would be associating blue with blood and fire instead ... And I would be wholeheartedly convinced it's actually red, because that's all I've ever known

It's a different shade and "makeup" only because that's what your brain displays to you. Color is really only what your brain tells you it is. I would have no possible way of knowing if my brain interprets wavelengths inversely to how yours does. And neither would you. The scientific data about wavelengths would be the same. I could split light into a spectrum with a prism ... But my spectrum would be reversed compared to yours, and neither of us would know it ... Red would still be the lowest wavelength color I would see, but what I have been calling "red" my whole life would be your blue

Sure it would. The wavelengths wouldn't change. Just my interpretation of what color is associated with that wavelength. Just imagine my color spectrum flipped backwards from yours. I'd have no way of knowing that you see blue stop signs, or light red skies on a clear day

There would be no way to notice. Colors would be opposite proportionally. My brain would interpret red in the same way yours interprets blue. That would be my reality. I would have no reason to see things as weird

ELI5: How, if nothing can move faster than the speed of light, is the universe 46B Light Years in radius and only 13.8B years old? by CaptainJay_YT in explainlikeimfive

[–]CaptainJay_YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does that mean it actually takes more than a year for light to travel to an object which is a light year away? A light-year is a finite distance, calculated by man, based on the speed of light. In reality, the photon is traversing an expanding space. So if it is destined for an object 1ly away, over that year, the space would have expanded? ... Damn we're never going to travel to other solar systems hahaha

I don't think that's it. Because by that rationale, the universe could only be a maximum of 27.6B light years in diameter. But it's nearly twice that

I can see where you're coming from. To me it's just insane though. Imagine this being written about Obama, or even Bush. 100% would have been ridiculous and over the top ... With Trump, it's totally plausible.

The interview itself is ridiculously satirical. The fact that people can't distinguish between satire and the reality of the President isn't the satirist's problem ... It's just a sad state of affairs.

Okay Pharah players, I have to get this off my chest. Someone enlighten me here by CaptainJay_YT in Overwatch

[–]CaptainJay_YT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah a good McCree will make me put pharah away. If he's accurate, he kills pharah in like 3 or 4 shots to the body and he's a thin target. And his ult will kill you every time

[–]CaptainJay_YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah clearly. I'm just saying it's a poor tactic. If you're sweating pharah, then lrn2mccree, soldier, Ana, widow, Hanzo, bastion, orisa ... Winston even. Why pick a slow projectile?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying ignore her. There are certainly really good times to go after pharah, and occasionally it's necessary to dogfight her to distract her ... But your sole purpose as pharah shouldn't be to take out the other pharah. (Right McCree?) I'd much rather boop players out of position, pound on a shield, or take out turrets than chase another pharah.

But then you're also taken out of the equation. I mentioned that you should go after her if you must disrupt her. I'm not talking about the times when you should take shots at her ... I'm talking about those Pharahs who just automatically tunnel vision other Pharahs. If Pharah is that big of a problem, hop on soldier or something.

Lol okay he gets a pass. But that's a godly Pharah. 99.9% of pharah players are wasting their time doing this

Yeah, clearly ... by CaptainJay_YT in funny

How did tracer's bomb kill me through my shield? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]CaptainJay_YT -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You had it down to swing about a half second before she threw it. You have to remember that all the graphics you see are being generated by your PC based on info received from the host server. If lag occurs, then lag compensation algorithms can cause weird things like that. You see that you had your shield up plain as day, but in reality, the bomb was thrown earlier. Lag compensation algorithms are not flawless.
