    Music is a pattern of wiggling air. Color is just a frequency of wiggling because all light is wiggling, but not a pattern of frequencies. I think it would be more congruent is the statement were “movies are just the wiggling of the electromagnetic field”.

      Not all colors are just a single frequency. Like, magenta can only exist as a sum of red and blue light. So colors are also patterns of wiggling

      color isnt even that, cos magenta isnt a frequency. color is a useful lie your brain tells itself about the materials it can see.

        brain gets information it can’t process

        “Sh**!”

        picks thing at random

        Me: “Why do I smell marshmallows when I look at that thing that isn’t a marshmallow?”
