The object is seen by the eyes because the light emanating from the object is AT THE RETINA. The light is necessary because it allows us to see and integrate the information (e.g., that which is within our field of view) in the same way we would integrate that same information if it were...
They are built in the mind, according to the present account of vision. But that's what he's disputing. What the $*s%&k :devilish:
Be quiet, Pood. I don't have to follow your demands. I am allowed to say "images" in place of wavelengths/frequencies, which are not built in the mind. I can use...
They are not contradictions.
I did not sidestep. Light travels but light does not reflect images that would land on the retina over long distances where the object would be long gone. The object absorbs and reveals itself as we look at it. This does not cancel out the speed of light that is...
Who runs fact-checking? I'm just trying to be objective. What did they say that would make you feel watching their movie would be an unproductive use of your time? Did fact-checking believe they lied or that they were spewing propaganda with no proof of anything? I wonder why these people would...
There is no absence of light in this version. If there were an absence of light, we could not see that thing, but there isn't a gap. It is the light that allows us to see said object, but in order to see said object --- in real time --- it must meet the requirements for sight, which are...
No bilby, there is no absence of light in this version because there is no time element. You are thinking that light has to travel to us, or there would be no light in which to see the object. But you're just restating the afferent version of sight, which is the very version he challenged.
That's not why he didn't get anywhere. The book was hardly distributed. You can't imagine the difficulty of making a genuine discovery at that time without the means to get it carefully reviewed. He typed 7 books on a manual typewriter and justified the margins himself. He paid for printing and...
There is none.
Again, you are assuming that all claims have to be proven through experiment. His knowledge was based on astute observation and sound reasoning. At first, it doesn't seem possible that we could see an object that isn't sent to us in the light, but if you analyze it carefully, it...
I did not paint myself into a corner because there is no conflict between light traveling and seeing in real time. Brain function, as he described it, does not take time for light to reach the eye when we are focused, not on the light, but on the object. The light interacts with the rods and...
