I have always had it as far as I know.
I have a vivid memory of asking my father if he could see atoms too when I was between 5 and 8.
I told him that when I stared at an object long enough, I saw little dots (snow). I must have just recently heard about atoms and mapped them to my experience.
Fortunately he understood what I was talking about and said told me it’s just my eyes or my mind presenting me with bad data. I’m sure it was a strange question for him, “can you see atoms too?”
- seoulmetro 3y agoFunny, I also believe I could see atoms. It works really well when you're outside in the sun, you look into the blue sky (but not into the suns direction) and then you'll see these atoms very clearly and it looks like you're seeing the oxygen move. This is actually not floaters and instead is explained as the blood vessels in your eyes moving blood. Believable, but it sure does look like you're seeing random "information" rather than just pipes at certain stages of pump. I can also see things move if I stare long enough. I can see the atoms, I can see the coloured blocks and such. I can also see the eyes "ISO" when in a dark room, I find that awesome as a photographer.
- jimmux 3y agoI assumed everyone can see visual noise too, based on my photography experience. Why wouldn't eyes get grain like film or a sensor does? I can see it under most conditions so maybe I just have higher ISO eyes than most people. It probably comes with my other neurodivergent sensory sensitivities.
- operatingthetan 3y agoI have a feeling everyone can see the noise, but they just have never noticed it before. On the drug they noticed it, and after the trip couldn't forget it was there.
