That could be an interesting topic to discuss: if we had only the books and no author bio at all, what in the text could lead one to think that the author was a woman or a man?

I believe that some people, who have good visual imaginations, can indeed imagine a color invisible to the human eye. I would suppose that they can imagine it only because they already have the experience of color, but there ARE colorblind people and maybe I should let them speak for themselves.

Definitely people can imagine forms previously unknown, and formless creatures, or the particle physicists, unable to imagine what they have discovered, would be unable to describe their discoveries.
