  • Ok this confirms my suspicion! In order for it to be white and gold you’d need to see the dress as in shadow. I always assumed it was in light because the image was lile blown out max lighting, but if you then assume that since it’s backlit the dress is in shadow and there isn’t significant front lighting, it could actually be white and gold. This theory has been nagging at me for YEARS and you just solved it, thank you!

    Everything in the physical world is physics. (I’m just now realizing how related those words are…). But mathematics can also describe purely abstract concepts, which I don’t see how those are physics. It may be possible to make connections between some abstract concepts and our physical world, but it’s a strong and imo incorrect claim to make that that’s always meaningfully true (or will be in the future) and that that means those abstract concepts are physics.

    Edit: It’s certainly semantically incorrect whether there is a connection between all abstract math concepts and physics or not, because a universe with different physics would have the same math, which means physics cannot be the source of mathematical truth.
