Looks like u like black color, shirts, and jeans, more than anything

7:15 seriously what kind of questions is this . why would someone not get a treatment that restore their normal functions and improves their quality of life .

how about the scietific approach it is about which wavelength is refelcting from the surface and that is the color you see. so he still doesnt know what color is but maybe there is a understanding of how different colors are #50shades. wavelengths are frequency so you can totally rely on music.

My favorite part was him telling the salt "join your friends" as he added it lol. Such a lovely guy

Of course you would, why not?

If I had to guess the balloon, I would say sausages 😁

Horizon is the point we can no longer see past, just like the point Tommy can no longer hear past

i hope he gets a chance to see the world with tech eyes

this dude is blind too, he's never seen any of the things he's talking about, just sayin.......

Did she said born or porn, that b could be some kind of an actor. I'm really confused😨

It’s really incredible to think of how much stuff we have to take the time to learn as sighted people. And yeah, we do it without even really thinking about it.

U ARE ONE REMARKABLE HUMAN BEING

"Does that make sense?" "It does to me" Man, I love watching Tommy and Christine.

7:54 - That is one thing that I haven't even considered! 😮 I am absolutely going to try and "watch" a 3D movie with my eyes closed. It do sound like a fascinating experience.

5:58 - These are both *very* valid takes. I do love the reasoning behind them.

Why dont the people let Tommy touch their faces? I would gladly offer anyone blind to touch my face so they can create an "image" of me in their mind. Knowing people just by voice is boring I think.

She is amazing

Evian is naive backwards lmaoooo 💀

Dad jokes lol

That T-cup joke was the best. Love it

This interview was 7yrs ago, but dang Christine is literally everywhere

bartender girl is easy to look at

Sad… goodbye old friend

Lovely to have you back Mr. Edison, I love your videos. Greetings from Italy

As a musician, my best way of describing color is with sounds. Color saturation is basically how pure a color is, and to me is comparable to how pure sounds sound. Something like white noise would compare to white, the color. A fully saturated color might sound like a more pure tone such as whistling or a piano. Something like a scream, which has tonality but is also not very pure, would maybe be half saturated. Furthermore, brightness is simply how "loud" a sound is. Dark colors take away light, leading to less light entering your eyes. Bright colors bounce more light into your eyes. At the end of the day though, the amount of light that enters your eyes is still fully dependent on the intensity of the light source. It's similar to how a song has background and foreground elements, but the volume of all of them are controlled by the same button. The difference for sight though, is that different colors within the same field of vision are not overlapped as would happen for sound, but instead neatly organized in a way that the brain can easily determine what is where in space. For people with bad eyesight, a somewhat comparable sound effect would be very lossy audio compression or a vocoder. A lot of the detail gets taken away, and stuff tends to just blur into each other. Another comparable effect is reverb, but instead of colors getting smeared out over time they get smeared out into the other compartments your brain makes. In reality, I'd say the detail loss of bad eyesight is much more comparable to a vocoder, while being as smooth as a reverb. For color blindness, which I personally don't experience but is easy to simulate, it's like turning stereo sound into mono sound. You lose a lot of depth, and similar to how it makes it hard to differentiate left and right in sound, it makes it very hard if not impossible to differentiate between some colors. As for color itself, well, that's the only thing that's not very describable. That's like trying to explain what the difference is between the sound of a violin and a piano. Colors have certain meanings or feelings attached to them, but the meanings we attach are all learned, similar to how the emotions evoked by certain chord progressions or instruments are all learned. Sure, you can explain and describe the physical difference, like looking at the frequency of the wave (for both light and sounds), but that doesn't help explain why it feels/looks/sounds the way it does.

I would try to give him the raw physics explanation. Light has a wavelength to it, and your eyes can detect different wavelengths.

He's never seen a face and yet all his expressions look just how ours are. That's really cool!

Perhaps this is morbid. But I bet this man is closer to being at peace with death..

eye-opening.

A dog?.

I ran the Canterbury cross-country course four times in high school. That was the toughest course I ever ran on. The last mile was straight uphill.

bless your sole

Tommy, I heard that Elon Musk and his Neurolink have made some progress in giving vision to the blind. Before that, they gave a paralytic the ability to play games with his mind, so I don't think it's impossible. I was wondering, if you had the chance, would you be one of the first to get one of these things? Hopefully there won't be any barriers related to the visual cortex or age.

You can actually “see” black. All you see is black. The light you do see is white. Maybe that can help

Wow it’s crazy that you don’t know what the earth looks like! I bet it’s hard to explain or understand. I don’t know why I want to say it a ball of enormous size floating in darkness, which is outer space

The catching a ball comment makes me sad

Living your whole life without seeing titties is actually a nightmare

He can see just fine he probably just has a vision for impairment where he can be deemed legally blind another one playing the system

I would have 1000 or more questions for you. I always wanted to talk to someone like you. In order to get you to try and understand the questions, I would have to imagine myself blind from day one and see what is left. Wow, I am just blown away.. I think if I tried real hard using all kinds of commonalities, I could help you understand vision, what it is.

A little perspective as someone recently unemployed: even w a lot of desirable experience, it is hard to get another job that pays enough for my bills. I’m working on getting a job. I’m not sitting around. I think that’s how it is for a lot of unemployed.

just hearing him say "oke lets see" is wild to me, imagine a blind person saying "oke lets see" my brain explodes

Tommy has better humor than a lot of KZbinrs. He did amazing on this challenge!! :)

Freddy Kroger and Loser Cruiser!! Oh, I love his humor!!! :)

never get caught in a staring contest tween these two

"It's just a prank bro" The prank:

I thought this video said Korn Blind

She has a husband?? Lucky guy, she is a very sweet person.

I understand this man’s blind but why don’t his eyes open?

Purple in a sweet purple yam. Purple in nature.

I love the drawing. I look for the video because I paint and I'm getting blinder by the day . I want to keep painting after I go blind . I love your voice and personality 💕 ❤❤❤thanks for sharing
