Thought about Blind people.?
I just had a thought, do blind people see Blackness, or not see anything at all. I mean when we close our eyes we 'can't see' But we are really seeing the shadow of our eyelids which is what makes us stop seeing. but if a blind person has no functional light receptors, do they even know what darkness looks like? For example if you put your fingers on your nose so you can't smell anything, there is nothing at all, you could even say it is temporarily non-existant, but do blind people work the same way?

People who were born blind do not see anything and do not dream or hallucinate about seeing.
Can you feel my aura, or do you sense total aura blackness?
You don't feel my aura, nor do you feel a lack of aura because you were born without the ability to "see" auras.

If a blind person has no light perception, then they wouldn't be able to see.
If they were born with no sight, they wouldn't know how to see as the brain has to learn this skill.
If a someone lost their eye sight an were totally blind with no light perception, then they would have some knowledge of colours, so would know everything as dark.
In the U.K. 95% of people who are registered as blind, do have light perception and do have some low vision. So, for people who are totally blind with no light perception this is only 5% of blind people. Some were born that way, while some were sighted and lost their eye sight.
People born totally blind will have no knowledge of colours or darkness.
