Why Can I See UV and IF Light While Others Can't?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on an individual's unique ability to perceive ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IF) light, which is not experienced by others. The individual describes seeing millions of photons in UV light and observing distinct photon sources in IF light. Additionally, they report a layer of visual noise and the ability to hear colors, particularly noting a strong association with specific wavelengths, such as 477nm. The forum response emphasizes the importance of consulting a physician for potential medical conditions related to these experiences.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts related to light and wavelengths
  • Familiarity with neurology and sensory perception
  • Knowledge of spectroscopy and its applications
  • Awareness of medical terminology related to visual and auditory phenomena
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of spectroscopy and its relevance to light perception
  • Explore neurological conditions that affect sensory processing
  • Study the effects of light wavelengths on human perception
  • Investigate the relationship between sound and color perception in synesthesia
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for individuals interested in the intersection of physics, neurology, and sensory perception, including researchers, students, and anyone experiencing unusual sensory phenomena.

When I observe the UV light emitted, I can literally see the millions of photons appear and die within milliseconds, but nobody else around me can. When I observe IF light sources and transmitters in low light, it is the same characteristic, except there only appears to be to photon sources, and one is slightly more apparent than the other, moving in opposite directions. In my normal waking life, I have a layer of visual noise in my vision that is millions of different colours, and can notice interference in the field when a new sound is present or introduced. I can hear colours sometimes too, more effectively when a television is on mute, the loudest being white, and the second loudest being about 477nm, or #00c8ff in hexadecimal value.
I'm trying to comprehend this experience, and figure out for myself why my brain interprets information this way, but some guidance from anyone with an interest in physic, neurology and spectroscopy would be very much appreciated.

Hi Jordaniel,

Welcome to PF. Unfortunately, it sounds like you have a medical condition and per the forum rules (for very good reasons) we are not allowed to practice medicine or offer medical advice on the forums. You should consult with a physician about these symptoms and determine if it is something serious or not.
 
In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
