They see nothing. Not even nothing.
It's kinda like the void which is nothing. Actually it's even less than nothing.


Just chillin' like always.

Well, if you were to close your eyes for a long time you may see swirling colours. But that's our imagination at work.

If they are blind from birth then they dont see absolutly nothing (pretty obvious) because they dont have any photographic memory...

I thought this too, I think it's impossible to tell if you're not blind yourself

Well played sir


Good gracious. My ass is bodacious. I had no idea!
Why was I not informed of my spanktacular backside?
Eh? Don't make me lay waste to your cities!

In essence, it is like when you are asleep. You don't see at all, do you? You don't even see black. It is as if your eyes were unconscious. They don't send any messages to the brain, so the brain doesn't register any images, not even black. There is no looking and seeing black. There is simply nothing.

It's like you being born into a world where everyone senses electromagnetic waves, but you can't. It's simply incomprehensible.

Vision is just what we see converted to brain signals. For someone who's been blind from birth, their brain wouldn't create any kind of a visual image, not even just blackness.

I think you answered your own question when you said "they don't see anything."
