white. Leaves are green, because they only reflect only those photons at a
frequency that gives the sensation of green, while absorbing all the others.
Glass is transparent, just like the air, because photons pass through them
both and reach us encountering hardly any obstacles—such as clouds or
flyspecks. A piece of black cloth reflects no color because it absorbs
practically all the photons that strike it. In other words, no photons reach our
eyes from it, and we perceive it as only a dark or black shape. A mirror
copies an image because its smooth reflective surface absorbs almost none
of the photons striking it, but bounces them back. They follow a parallel
course to one another, undergoing almost no deformation.

In short, the concepts of "light," "white," "green" or "transparent" refer to
perceptions in the brain, and are purely relative descriptions. The truth is
that in the outside world there is no light or color. There are only forms of
radiation which we perceive in that form. The interpretation belongs solely
to us. Even if the arriving photons are turned into electrical signals and the
visual center in the eye possesses the same properties, an error or structural
difference which might occur in the eye will lead to the same object being
perceived in very different ways. That is why color-blind people perceive
and interpret certain colors differently from normal people.

In short, the photon movements which we interpret as light or color are
nothing more than physical phenomena that transpire in the pitch blackness
of the brain. Our bodies—including our eyes, and the whole material world
that we perceive as a bright, three-dimensional vision that some people
claim represents an absolute reality—all exist within that same darkness.
