Purple Isn’t Real, Science Says. Your Brain Is Just Making It Up. Elizabeth Rayne The human eye does not actually see purple, as purple is not a color on the visual spectrum. Purple is a combination of wavelengths from opposite extremes of the spectrum, which technically deosn’t make any sense, but our brains evolved a solution. When we “see” a combination of blue and red wavelengths, the brain bends the visual spectrum into a circle that joins blue and red at the point of purple. You might be today years old when you realize there is no purple in the rainbow. There is no P in ROYGBIV. But wait, what about violet? Well, despite what you may have come to believe, violet is not purple. In fact, violet (along with the rest of the colors in a naturally occurring rainbow) has something purple doesn’t—its own wavelength of light. Anyone who ever ended up with a sunburn knows violet wavelengths are real, as the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the reason you need to wear sunscreen, even though you can’t see those wavelengths (more on that later). Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo are all just as real. But purple? Well, purple is just your brain’s way of resolving confusion. That’s right. Red and blue (or violet) wavelengths are two opposite extremes on the spectrum. When you see both of these wavelengths in the same place, you eyes and brain don’t know what to do with them, so they compensate, and the clashing wavelengths register as the color we call purple. It doesn’t actually exist. The visible light spectrum detectable by human eyes makes up only a small fraction of wavelengths (0.0035%, to be exact). Those colors are made available to us by millions of densely packed photoreceptor cells known as cones, which respond to light hitting our retina. We can only see colors that have wavelengths of the right sizes (between 350 to 750 nanometers) for our cones to respond to. That’s why we cannot make out UV or infrared light—UV wavelengths are too short for our cones to detect, and infrared wavelengths are too long. Cone cells come in three flavors: short wavelength cones (S), medium wavelength cones (M), and long wavelength cones (L). Approximately 60% of cones are L cones that best absorb reddish wavelengths (as a result of the reddish pigments they contain), 30% are M cones that best absorb greenish wavelengths (and have greenish pigment), and 10% are S cones that best absorb bluish wavelengths (and have bluish pigment). All three types of cones can absorb numerous wavelengths close to their peak—though, that absorption gets weaker the farther you stray from the peak absorption wavelength—and overlap in their ability to detect colors like yellows and teals. Cones do not actually see colors themselves, but they send electrical signals based on the wavelengths they absorb through the optic nerve to a part of the brain called the thalamus, where the signals are processed. Once those signals are parsed, they are sent to the visual cortex, which makes sense of how many cones were activated by a wavelength of light, and the strength of the signal from each cone (and type of cone). The brain then determines what color you are looking at by comparing the differences in signal strength, allowing us to see up to a million colors. When you look at in-between colors (like teal, for example), your brain averages out how many cones of which types responded to the detection of that in-between wavelength. Teal light would “light up” most of your S cones pretty strongly, but would also light up some of your M cones. If there is more blue than green, you see what you perceive as a shade of blue, and vice versa. The problem with purple is that it isn’t supposed to be possible to create a color from wavelengths on opposite ends of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength detection made by your S cones (violet light) has no overlap with the longest wavelength detection made by your L cones (red light). To compensate, the brain bends the spectrum into a circle, making the two extremes meet at purple. It’s an illusion of physics and neuroscience that makes us think we see a nonspectral color. Despite the fact that it is technically a figment—more like pigment—of our imaginations, purple has earned a rich reputation as the color of royalty, nobility, power, luxury, devotion, mystery, and magic. Maybe the most appropriate association is that last one.

It's April 9th. The reds and giants are finishing their season series today. Nobody else has beaten the giants yet. That's baseball, Suzyn! Verlander retired the first seven batters he faced today on 24 pitches, including 20 strikes. It took him just 30 pitches to get the last two outs of the third inning, only giving up five runs along the way to a team that had scored two runs or less in seven of their previous eight games. That's elderly baseball, Suzyn!

Dotel pitched for 13 different big-league teams (a record later broken by Edwin Jackson, at 14). Pedro Martinez has said that he has family members that are still missing in the collapse.

Adolescence Season 2 Talks Underway as Series Soars to No. 4 on Netflix’s All-Time Most Popular Chart

At least 124 people have died.

I’ve noticed that Elsbeth 2×18 is titled “I Know What You Did Thirty-Three Summers Ago” while Ghosts 4×20 is similarly titled “I Know What You Did Thirty-Seven Summers Ago” — and they both air the same night (April 24). This doesn’t seem like a coincidence, and obviously the shows cannot crossover, but is there a reason for them to match? Or am I reading too much into things? - Marvin 
TV LINE: That is a very fun coincidence, though I am told by CBS it is merely that -a fun coincidence

Paramount+ has renewed the Australian rom-com Colin From Accounts for a third season, TVLine has learned. Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer will return to write, executive-produce and star in the new season. Brammall and Dyer star as Gordon and Ashley, who find a romantic spark while they care for an injured dog they name Colin (From Accounts). Emma Harvie co-stars as Ashley’s friend Megan, with Genevieve Hegney and Michael Logo as Gordon’s co-workers Chiara and Brett, and Helen Thomson as Ashley’s ridiculously nosy mother Lynelle. (Read here why we think Colin is worth watching.) Season 2, which debuted in September, ended on a cliffhanger, with Gordon impulsively proposing to Ashley at Megan’s wedding — and Ashley turning him down flat. “We’re VERY excited to bring you Season 3 of our show,” Brammall and Dyer said in a statement. “To be honest, with the way we ended Season 2, it would have been weird not to make a third, so here we are. We promise we won’t leave you hanging like that again. Probably.”

The former MLB reliever was pulled from the wreckage alive after 11 hours but was DOA at the hospital. He either holds the record for having pitched for the most teams, or he was one short of the record. RIP Dozens of people have died.

Mighty Quinn’s BBQ is making a flavorful comeback in Forest Hills with a grand reopening celebration on Thursday, April 10, featuring mouthwatering barbecue and free tastings. Located at 108-22 Queens Blvd., the popular barbecue spot—known for its smoked meats and indulgent sides—is now under new ownership, as the company has reclaimed direct control of all its New York locations. “We grew pretty quickly over the past few years, and Mighty Quinn’s corporate just wanted to regain ownership of all of our New York locations,” said Mighty Quinn’s CEO, Micha Magid. “That’s where we got started, and it was a strategic decision to make these restaurants come to life and bring back the community which has made Mighty Quinn’s the go-to spot for barbecue, and we want to make sure that we continue to hold that distinction.” The Forest Hills location was the first Mighty Quinn’s to open in Queens, originally launched in 2022 by former owner Michael Dolan. Today, the BBQ chain operates additional locations across New York City—in Manhattan and Brooklyn—as well as in New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, and Connecticut. Known for its smoked brisket, spare ribs, BBQ chicken, and pulled pork, the restaurant also serves up classic sides like mac and cheese, cornbread, and dirty rice. Following its recent revamp, the Forest Hills location will introduce a refreshed menu featuring craft cocktails, an updated happy hour with deals on food, mocktails, and drinks, and rotating daily specials. For customers on the go, takeout is made easy with the Mighty Quinn’s app—just order ahead and pick up when ready. The restaurant is unveiling two new side dishes, including roasted sweet potatoes served in a honey butter glaze, and a second side dish that will be exclusive to the Forest Hills location, which is a crispy French fry rounded like a scoop chip. “It’s an amazingly crispy fry, and it pairs really well with the barbecue because you can use it to pick up your little bits of leftover meat at the end of your meal,” said Magid. “Throughout the year, we’ll be launching seasonal specials, and we’ll also be adding new food items to the bar menu.” The reopening event will showcase some of their latest menu and specials, along with free tastings of some of their new menu additions. If weather permits, they plan to unveil their outdoor patio space as well. 10% of the sales from the event will be donated to Queens Community House, a Forest Hills-based non-profit organization that offers support services to those in need, including education, healthcare, childcare, and employment resources. The restaurant hopes to continue to impress existing customers and attract new faces as well. “It’s somewhat of a reopening of the location,” said Magid. “We’ve invited the community to visit us, and we’ll be doing free tastings of some of our new cocktails. We also want people to try our amazing new French fries, so we’ll also be handing out samples of that.”

I was pleasantly surprised by how much explanation they gave and how much they tied up. I was also pleasantly surprised by who Shane's mom turned out to be. I enjoyed the series a bit more than I thought I would and hope they renew it.

From Hasidic Brooklyn to Off Broadway: Life of Trans Rabbi

I just watched the second episode. I was curious whether Jane Lynch would be playing one of her obnoxiously overbearing characters or one of her overbearingly obnoxious ones. She's so versatile she can play both... and always does. Not one thing differentiated this performance from the same one she has given every single time since GLEE. Fortunately she wasn't able to ruin the episode... the writers did that all on their own.
