If you haven't read my comment

If you haven't read my comment on Youtube, here's a very compelling idea... I recently saw a video about what if people could see the whole Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Well that's a pretty ambitious thought, isn't it? What if you took that idea, and essentially flipped it around, to state the opposite?! I mean, if your vision relied on a very narrow spectrum of light, then you could really focus in on reality! Think about studying in college; when you focus on a specific subject only, then your chances of succeeding increase because you're then less distracted by other things, or subjects. This is an analogy, because when it comes to the spectrum of light, the more you see, doesn't necessarily mean that you're seeing any better. The analogy; likewise, if our human vision was limited to only a very narrow spectrum of wavelengths of light, then we'd be able to focus specifically on some aspects of reality. So don't panic or fret over the fact that human vision, or more specifically color perception, is limited to only a small percentage of the electromagnetic spectrum, because otherwise, there might be too much interference that could overwhelm us and our mind. Colors are only caused by the process of the mind, outside of which every wavelength of light which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum is of the same color, or more scientifically, there is nothing more than black and white. Theoretically, the mind could see far more colors than we do currently. Although we don't notice it much, even if we notice at all, in our everyday lives, every wavelength of light focuses a specific way. For example, take a manual focus Camera (set it to manual focus) and take a photo of ruler, so that the depth of field is as narrow as you can get it. Make sure you use a full spectrum camera, and take a UV photo, then, without changing anything, take an IR photo. You'd notice that the focus is shifted! And what's beyond the EM spectrum?!
