Ever wonder why your goldfish is unimpressed with your Pink Floyd laser light show? That little swimmer is basically seeing the director's cut extended edition of the visible spectrum. While we humans are stuck with the basic cable package of light (roughly 400-700 nanometers), goldfish are out here catching both the infrared preshow and ultraviolet afterparty. The joke's on us - we're spending hundreds on concert tickets for an experience that goldfish get for free in their $5 bowl. Evolution really dropped the ball on our visual capabilities.
