I thought you claimed to understand me earlier. If an object is blue, it absorbs other light wavelengths and reflects blue light. There is a blue photon, and after it reflects off the blue object, it travels in a straight line until it hits something else and absorbed or reflected. |
The theory of the blue photon reflecting off the blue object until it hits something else and taking on the new wavelength is just that, a theory. |
Yes, it's a empirically proven, well verified theory, i.e. a scientific fact.

When you say "There is no travelling blue photon." You are really telling me, "My statements are verifiably false."

Yes I am. You can't prove that this is what's happening. It's just a plausible explanation BASED ON THE PREMISE OF AFFERENT VISION. |
I wrote that, not The Lone Ranger (although I'm sure he would agree).
Of course I can prove it, or I have the capability to prove it, and if need be, I can point you to scientific studies that verify what I'm saying. More specifically, I work on a product that has optical interfaces, and if light did not work exactly the way I described, the product wouldn't work. Period.
The technology exists to detect wavelengths of light. However, you can make or buy a spectroscope for ~$10 and prove it for yourself.
