The Olo Effect


Listen Later

I just read about something pretty cool. Five people in a UC Berkeley lab experienced a color that's never been seen before by human eyes. They called it Olo—a super-saturated bluish-green that exists beyond what our eyes can naturally perceive. The only way to see it? Special laser technology that precisely targets specific photoreceptors in the eye.

This got me thinking: If something exists but most people can't naturally perceive it, does that make it any less real or meaningful?
