6.3751 For example, the simultaneous presence of two colours at the same place
in the visual field is impossible, in fact logically impossible, since it is
ruled out by the logical structure of colour. Let us think how this
contradiction appears in physics: more or less as follows--a particle cannot
have two velocities at the same time; that is to say, it cannot be in two places
at the same time; that is to say, particles that are in different places at the
same time cannot be identical. (It is clear that the logical product of two
elementary propositions can neither be a tautology nor a contradiction. The
statement that a point in the visual field has two different colours at the same
time is a contradiction.)
All of this is false, for a
very simple reason: Light mixes. Take one filter and produce blue light from one
lamp and another to produce yellow light from another lamp, and project the two
beams on top of another on a white plane, and behold green.
