If i understand correctly, you basically think you are the only one that is going to die on 2012-12-21 and that reality is somehow 'messing with you' and hence reality completely revolves around you. In some ways you are correct, but for the most part, you are just confused. I like the way you think though

I'm trying to get my head around it, you must be able to equate colour to it's individual wavelength of light and then transfer that into a number. For instance the wavelength of red light is around 650 nanometers so anytime anyone sees 650 nm of light its red. But then that just leads back to the individuals interpretation of colour. Maybe theres an answer somewhere in the fact that the spectrum of light seems to evolve,
red slightly darker than orange, orange darker than yellow etc.
So someone couldn't see what i call dark blue when it's yellow to me because yellow is lighter than orange and dark blue isn't. Does that make sense?
