on the basis of how do we see different colors from a body see the experiment: let us consider an object which consists of the 7 colors. now all the seven colors having different refractive indexes of their own will meet at different points. but to see the all the colors the intersection must be at the retina. so only one of the color must be seen, isn't it?

left handed arabs

left handed people writing in the latin alphabet often find it difficult to write as easily a right handers my question is :in alphabets in languages where it is written from right to left such as arabic it would be harder on right handers. is there due to this a higher incidence of left handedness amoung these languages? and if not, why do they write from right to left considering its greater difficulty to the majority of the population?

Why do most men lose hair from their foreheads first? I've seen many old men who have a bald head with a ring of hair around it. Any particular reason why most people lose their hairs starting from the forehead, making it's way to the centre of their heads?
