     You are suffering under a similar misconception as the one I
experienced with regard to time. I had always thought time was simply
a comparison between events. Einstein tells that clocks that use light
as the measurment become something else, they become and integral part
of the event. Clocks using light slow down and speed up with the
movement of objects. Time is no longer an agreed standard; time is no
longer an objective measurement--it is a thing.

     Now you think color is a nothing more than a standard of
measurement of the frequency of light. I'm telling you that color also
changes with the velocity changes of an object. We have empirical
proof. Haven't you ever heard of the red shift? An object moving away
changes color one way, while an object moving closer changes color
another way, and the color change depends on the velocity. Under my
new theory, color is part of the object, like the peel on an orange.
If time has become a malleable thing, then it makes just as much sense
to consider color something real and tangible. I call it the Theory of
Colorivity.

    The twin paradox is always "nicely explained" somewhere. It's
just that no one can understand it. Does anyone really believe the
predicted results of the mind game? Will velocity really extend or
shorten life as we know it? If I can get aboard a space ship, will I
live a few hundred earth years longer? If you accept that, you might
as well accept my theory that you can choose your own color by setting
the speed of the space ship.
