Does a rainbow only look like it has bands because of how our eyes perceive it? Why isn't it a smooth colour transition and is instead in distinctly different bands of colours?

Pretty weird how some phenomena only exist as a function of human perception.

I don't know enough about biology to answer that. If possible then no less curious because the prevailing paradigm is that the world exists independent from us but without perception the world would not look like anything. It would exist as an invisible mathematical structure or something.

Playing violin is literally just rubbing horse hair across a metal string. What's so beautiful about that? You can destroy any sense of wonder by using the word ''just'' with a reductionistic attitude.
