Rainbows and sunshine
The text says "Quantization of the continual spectrum of visible wavelegths is a human convention which varies across cultures."
It really does.

More about "Rainbows and sunshine"
Of course you can't see the sunshine in the picture because in order to see a rainbow the sun has to be behind you - but believe me, it's there.

When I was a kid there was this giant paper rainbow in my room. It was pretty realistic, and I remember trying to figure out exactly where one color stopped and the next one started. If only someone had told me that the colors aren't really in clear-cut bands like that because they're really just a continual spectrum, I could have saved a lot of time and been even more of an annoying pedantic jerk than I already was. What I didn't know was that Isaac Newton who was famous for doing lots of things, looked at a rainbow and said "HeyOMG! I see five colors."

Then everyone said five? That's weird because things are supposed to happen in sevens. Only a crazy freak would say there are five colors in a rainbow. And we kill freaks because it's the olden days.

And he said "What? I said seven. Seven colors."
