The amazing symmetry between the primary and the secondary colours of light


Today I want to show you, first, the beautiful, intimate relationship that exists between the primary (RGB) colours of light and the secondary (CMY) ones. Since this is going to be primarily an observational exercise, and since this is also a continuation of a relatively recent post any commentary on my part will be limited to a handful of some very brief instructions and perhaps a couple of quick observations. That's basically all I need to say as an introduction, so without any further ado let me show you next the first target of this observational exercise.


Now, to conduct this first part of our observational exercise grab your favourite prism, orient it with its apex pointing to your left and then look through it at the figure above from a distance of about two to three feet. Look carefully at each set of primary/secondary colours and please take your time, for there is quite a bit of information to take in and digest. When you are satisfied with the results change the orientation of the prism by 180 degrees and repeat the observation in the previous manner.

So, what do you think? Remember the still to be officially named Poradin-Heffron Law? If you do you are in good stead. If you don't you should revisit the post "New symmetry and beauty in the Truth of colour".

Before taking on the second part of our observational exercise I must remind you that it is very important to conduct these observations from different distances, if you want to get a good understanding of the entire issue at stake.

To conclude the first half of this post I will next drop below the second picture that is part of our current observational exercise, which is of course to be examined in the same manner. Good luck.




In the second half of this post I want to show you a screenshot of a thread from the Physics Stack Exchange forum, which is in many ways typical and relevant to what is happening in our times in the science called physics. The answer that you will see deleted was mine. Until next time take care and do not let yourself be led by pompous fools with big, irrelevant titles.

P.S. Having just realised that when I published this post about one hour ago the screenshot was almost impossible to read, being too small, I am now mending that. And for good measure I have also added another little screenshot, which shows my 'activity' and 'achievements' on the Physics Stack Exchange forum. I have decided to publish these screenshots because--surprise, surprise--they no longer exist on that particular site. (Needless to say, all thanks to those wonderfully efficient moderators. Nonetheless, I was just a tad more efficient myself😈👌💪😂 on the odd occasion.)
