#PhysicsFactlet
The human eyes have "only" 3 different colour receptors, so multiple spectra can be perceived as the same colour.
(And this without considering all the ways the signal is processed before you actually "see" it.)
#Optics #Colour #Color #Vision

On the left, the absorption spectra of the 3 human colour receptors, with a varying spectrum (shown as a black line) on top. On the right a disk coloured with the RGB equivalent of that spectrum.

The "wildest wild card:

The #USCopyrightOffice has repeatedly stated that works made by AIs aren't eligible for copyright, which is the exclusive purview of works of human authorship. This has been affirmed by courts.

…for any company contemplating selling an #AIgenerated work, the fact that it is born in the #PublicDomain presents a substantial hurdle, because anyone else is free to take that work and sell it or give it away."

'In 2020, Tom Lehrer put out a statement saying that he had placed everything he ever wrote in the public domain. His lyrics and sheet music are now available for anyone to use or perform without paying royalties. The statement ended: “Don’t send me any money.” This is unheard-of. Famous performers usually maximise their royalties income.' https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/22/my-songs-spread-like-herpes-why-did-satirical-genius-tom-lehrer-swap-worldwide-fame-for-obscurity

: The "Ashcroft/Mermin Project"
I will try to (likely very slowly) go through the classic textbook "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft and Mermin and make one or more animation/visualization per chapter.
This will (hopefully) help people digest the topic and/or be useful to lecturers who are teaching about it. As with all my animations, feel free to use them.
The idea is that the animations are a companion to the book, so I will give only very brief explanations here.
