Abstract

Anyone who has shared the company of threeyear old children for an afternoon will recognize the conversation Everything you say is challenged immediately with their favorite word—why Newly arrived in the world and fascinated by all they see threeyear olds want to know the why of everything They live in a world of mystery wonder and possibility—where magic is real and reality is magic As we explore the discovery of the physics of color origin and perception put yourself in the place of the threeyear old who always wants to know why Or put yourself in the place of the discoverers themselves who must have been filled with awe at what they learned and communicated to the world for the first time
