Chapter 313: The World Without Color!
Amidst the murmurs of doubt, Lord Lynn didn't rush to explain but instead posed a question.
"You all know light can be reflected, right?"
The wizards in the hall nodded in unison; reflection was fundamental in light, the basis of most polarized magical applications.
"The colors we see are actually light shining onto an object, reflected into our eyes, identified by our light-sensitive cells," Lynn explained. "Human sensory cells can only discern three colors: red, green, and blue. Due to the visible spectrum's uniform mix in sunlight, it appears colorless to us..."
"Wait, Master Lynn, if that's the case, under the same light, won't everything be the same color?" Sanchez interjected.
"Not at all. Some light is absorbed by objects; we see only the reflected visible light..." Lynn elucidated.
To be more precise, it was the light reflected by objects that entered the eye, transformed into electrical signals on the retina, transmitted through visual nerves—the so-called colors were merely the human definition of the visible electromagnetic waves.
With a firm grasp of electromagnetic force, Lynn had tested this in Iyeta and was utterly confident.
His words echoed in the hall, igniting louder discussions below.
"This theory... it's astounding!" Raphael looked at Lynn, unable to contain himself. "Does that mean this world truly has no colors?"
Previously, they believed elements inherently possessed certain colors, and objects composed of them exhibited corresponding shades. They assumed light simply allowed them to perceive these existing colors or hues adhering to the surface.
But Lynn's assertion contradicted this entirely—all colors originated from light. What they perceived was light rejected by objects, whereas absorbed light remained unseen?
In essence, a red object wasn't truly red; it simply reflected red light while absorbing other colors.
Theoretically, if one could 'see' the internal 'light elements' of an object, they might display a blend of different colors?
Raphael struggled to grasp Lynn's words, finding it immensely challenging to imagine a world with reversed colors.
"Do you know what color her dress is?" Lynn inquired.
"Of course, it's red!" Glenn replied.
"Isn't that visible to everyone?" Raphael scoffed, perplexed why Lynn would ask such a foolish question.
"Remember your current assessment! The dress is red, but don't forget it!" Lynn stated meaningfully.
Raphael was speechless. Was the dress going to turn blue next? He wanted to know what Lynn was up to!
Lynn turned his gaze to the girl in the red gown, smiling as he remarked, "Your skin is fair and lovely..."
Jonny didn't anticipate the Headmaster's public comment, feeling a bit embarrassed and uneasy under the wizards' ambiguous gazes.
This suits the experiment... Lynn quietly swallowed the latter part of his sentence.
"Now, we'll need your... light dissociation device!" Lynn stepped forward, patting Glenn's shoulder, instructing him anxiously.
"How should I proceed, Master Lynn?" Glenn nervously asked, clutching his invention.
"First, decompose the light as before..." Lynn detailed the steps to Glenn meticulously, ensuring complete comprehension before announcing the experiment's start!
