Science bringing beauty into the world

Watched a bunch of these heartwarming videos yesterday. They are of people trying on EnChroma glasses for the first time. They let the colorblind see colors!

Few favorites are this one:

This guy talks a lot, but is shut up when he tries them. Start around 2:20

And this guy is stunned, then goes home to see what his parakeet really looks like. Start around 7:40

My son has a pair. He was nearly speechless when he first put them on. He even celebrated the anniversary of getting them by re-visiting the very colorful places he wore them that first day.

They don't work for everyone, but if they do, it's a revelation.

Oh yeah? Well with religion, you can pray for stuff! Also, believing in science will turn you into a Nazi. You don't want to be a Nazi, do you? [/Lampoon]

Those are good. Check out the ones where people get cochlear implants and can finally hear. Also, a very emotional experience for the whole family.

I tried that; now I'm stuck taking care of a foot-tall pianist. I need to enunciate better.

Yeah, science is great. But don't forget to give Jesus some credit too!

There is supposedly some cornea replacement surgery that can let people see further into UV than normal.
