The origins of colour

Unbelievable that he would stick a needle behind his eye for the sake of colors! That was a truly dedicated man.

A great short documentary on a fascinating subject. Surprised to see this video with so few views and comments so thought I'd leave one to thank you for the work that went into this.

I didn't know Newton was involved in the color wheel which is the basis of color theory. We always hear about his invention of calculus and his coming up with the laws of gravity and planetary motion, but never his involvement in the color wheel.

What is the manuscript where the image of the eye appears?

Newton was late to the trend by about 7 centuries. The model/experiment explained in the video was conducted long before Newton by the Islamic scholar Ibn Al-Haytham, who dispersed light by passing it through a tiny hole and through a prism. He concluded that in fact light and consequently colours, are both perceived by sight. He greatly influenced the likes of Newton and Descartes so I think to him credit is due. The academic environment shouldn't be marginalised with conscious double standards.

Risky to go blind for the sake of a hunch… Newton is weird at times
