light comprises different wavelengths of energy , and when that energy comes through our pupil onto our retina inside our eye , it becomes nerve impulses , signals , and eventually gets processed by the brain . so the light is out in the real world . the color only really exists inside your brain when you perceive it .
what does it mean 'so the light is out in the real world ' ?
