I would like to assume it was a chemist/engineer developing color flash photography who knew better.

I mean, maybe, but I’d like to assume OP’s thought! That would have been hilarious!

You never know. And it’s not like that would be an easy thing to predict.

Well if he created the first photo he must be smart enough to understand. If not they all will be subject to the Spanish inquisition.

It wasn’t necessarily the first person to make a color photo who first saw it. And I’m not saying like 100% fully believe the person is possessed.

You think for colour photos, the scientists took one and thought "fuck it good enough to take out to the public." There were probably months, if not years of testing. Somewhere in that time, they def came across this issue.

Oh good point. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I at least though a scientist would be like “Jesus, what is with your eyes!” But that’s while they’re also testing anyway so they’ve probably seen worse stuff already. Also I didn’t consider how creepy negatives are already.

Thanks. And there’s much dumber things people post on this sub. They probably get their fair share of corrections though.

Oh, and remember when people used to say “when you wish upon a star, that star is billions of light years away and is dead by now.”? That was so easily disprovable but it went around the internet so much

It's amazing how easy things are to predict when you understand the science behind it.

Yeah. But a lot of times science is like “whoa, that’s freaky! I wonder why that happens”
