Here's a philosophical question for you. If a color doesn't have a name, can we still see it?  
Many years ago, the human eye evolved to give us the ability to see about a million colors.

Then how come, until very recently, nobody saw or even heard of the color blue?  
Well, it's because blue just -- didn't exist yet.  
Let's find out why.
