No, the point is, what if the red I see would be orange for you? Like if I saw through your eyes, an apple would appear orange.

Red Blue Green Orange
No it's Red Purple Green Yellow!

Doesn't matter, because the name for each would be the same.

It is so hard to put together what I'm trying to say :( , kept trying explain it in my head but it started to hurt .

Haha, wow. I've got of this same concept myself a while back.

Okay, thanks A.R.C. that cleared it up...

This thread needs to get more confusing,
Quick, post some Chaos theory!

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics which studies the behavior of certain dynamical systems that may be highly sensitive to initial conditions. This sensitivity is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of error, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. That is, tiny differences in the starting state of the system can lead to enormous differences in the final state of the system even over fairly small timescales. This gives the impression that the system is behaving randomly. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully determined by their initial conditions with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.

Chaotic behavior is also observed in natural systems, such as weather. This may be explained by brown townysis of a chaotic mathematical model which represents such a system. Quantum chaos investigates the relationship between chaos and quantum mechanics.

The question as to whether people all see the 'same' colors has been around forever. I thought about it before I was 6, and I came to the conclusion that it wouldn't really matter. An object that's blue might not be 'blue' for another person, but we both see it as what we have defined as blue.

I was thinking, one day a while ago, does everyone see every object the same, or does each person see everything completely differently and their brains just edit the image so that it works with our brains? Then, I went on and thought "how would we know that we're not just being secretly controlled?" Then I read "1984". So, after that, I questioned mathematics and the possibility of infinity, and why, when every other number can be perfectly organized and displayed, why can't there be a rational number at the very end of it all? Finally, I just thought about the contradictions of religion and the quandary that religion has placed itself in by trying to show that religion is completely correct.
I have actually thought about something similar to this.
I was thinking more along the lines of time and physics, and the personalities of others.
All things come to an end sooner or later right? Well then how can there be an eternity? And if "What comes up must come down" what about the things in space? When, where and why will they come down? And for that matter, there is no down in space. And, what if everyone I know turns out to be some kind of AI?

Meekl maded his own head splode.

Also this. I knew the butterfly effect in 4th grade. Meekl is slowly being crushed by his ever-growing intellect, and is slowly being driven mad by these questions.

Indeed.

You can't test it that way.
In fact, you can't test it at all.

This is why I stopped thinking about it.

But I still can't get over what just nothing would be.

Illegitimate - The color we see as "red" still appears red, though it may appear as a different "red" to you.

Lol'd tho.
