Great video as always, you gave me a lot of new information and it was super funny, but I will provide one small correction, as the amount of times I had to suffer the mispronunciation of Schiaparelli's name greatly exceeded my expectations 😀The first syllable would be pronounced more like the word "ski", if his name was pronounced the way you did, it would be spelled as "sci". Hope this helps a bit.

Hi thanks! This is still my favourite video! So SHAP- is an acceptable way of pronouncing it according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Schiaparelli I even asked my Italian coworker at the time how to pronounce it and he said SHAP-, but he's from Bari. It's clear now that it's definitely not the most common pronunciation!

@@Chromaphobe I see, italian has many very distinct dialects but Shap just sounds... illegal to me :D on the other hand, northern dialects use letters that are not even in the italian alphabet like J, so... yeah. The thing is "ci" or "sci" have the soft sound and adding "h" should always harden it. But I did not know it is acceptable, will note down and try not to cry. I see why you'd like this video, you connected super interesting topics!

Your ability so see the difference in brightness, like a 20% grey and a 25% grey is the same as color normals. However, when you throw in a bunch of colors that as protans, we can't differentiate (blue and purple noise), it still looks fairly monochromatic to us and we can pull out that small difference in brightness, but the color normals see big differences between those hues and can no longer tell the difference between the nuances of brightness. Not saying at all that we have better vision, but there are very specific situations where we do perform better than color normals. Otherwise, we will be using all context clues and relying on shape and texture more than color.
