How do you explain colours, excluding black and white, and what they look like to a blind person that has been blind all his life?
Since the day you were born, you were taught to associate names to colors. You pointed at a rose and your mom loving told you RED rose. Whichever color was shown to you, you chose the color and agreed/acknowledged it, be when you were kid or when you grew up. Ever had a discussion over a large beautiful rainbow... Its so hard to come up with exact location, squence or order of the colors in rainbow. Also, I wonder why I always felt one color was much stronger and sometimes I felt a color was missing.r E Many many questions and many many thoughts about it, however we agreed to a lot in general and now I have developed my own understanding of colors in many languages as well. But there is no guarantee that the contrast, expoSuRe of your EYE is same as mine. Minute differences will still remain between what we see... for. e.g. spectacles power, being a 4 eyed guy myself, i know when i tilt my glasses a bit, the entire vision changes... or when i buy a new pair of glasses with updated power with more accurate readings and VOILA!!! the whole world is like brand new!

Get a red sheet of paper, and stare into it. Look closely at the "colour" itself, examine it. Think about what it looks like. Notice after 15 - 30 secs you cant see the colour. Its invisible. Is that what colour looks like?
this didnt work on me, I tell you why. I have a tendency to close my eyes when I Try to think something about the past.. to be more precise, I can either look/stare at the color Closely or "Think about what it looks like.". Please be more precise on the procedure or someone else please tell me how to do it exactly with intervals timing between staring and thinking and if, just incase, an occasional.. only one at the max, a flicky blin'K is allowed.

If the Big Bang Theory is true, and all matter was condensed into one extremely small and dense area, then what was outside of the area where all matter existed?
The big bang "theory" is the scientific understanding of the history of evolution of the universe,in short "what happened". Its like showing a rockET-launch to a little kid and expecting him that there is a living man/men in that kaa'BOOM! Launch. ofcourse, little kids would be least bothered about men or aliens for that matter of fact but the best part is, you show them, they believe it because you showed him/her that stuff on TV.
just the way you believed red is "red" and green is "green". Here we cannot educate ourselfs about the origin/"perfect defination"/"theory of relativity" or even solve the mystery of bermuda Triangle. Existence of
Luminiferous aether OR luminiferous ether.
if TV and misguiding BOOKS are effectively manipulated - matters like sucide bombers - innocently clean kids, they can grow up thinking that thats gods divine plan and prolly ka-BOOM! is normal way of death. all depends on the
past, be it 1 min or 1 decade. I get brain-ragged when I think about these suicide-assh OlerS, not one but in hundreds around the world, some even well educated buggers, different family backgrounds, group suicides, following orders blindly without a righteouS thought...getting FUSED! or BANGed! not a joke.
... tired now, prolly add more later when i bump back into this post. thank you for reading.

Blind people from Birth cannot be defined. A child after being born can be blind after 5 secs... I hope you get my point. But Blindness cannot be talked much unless you are blind yourself.
Coming back to your First Question,
There is all Black. And where there is light, its not black. may be vice Versa. I learn't in high school that colors are the result of reflecting light. Usually "things" are just absorbing all light (filled with all colors ..packed like ZIP file) falling on it and these "things" fail to absorb certain light which reflects.. However, because this reflected light is no longer in the ZIP file of Light, it emits a unique color which our retina in eye(kept alive & classified by heart) can come as a Vision i.e. broad level of color spectrum. Which you can see in a colorful graphic designing computer software or even better, Make One.
