If the Sun was turned on at noon, could we take a photo of the Sun at noon, or would we have to wait until 12:08?

That's alright though, you don't understand it either.
I do understand how a picture can be taken without light traveling to Eart first and I explained why the image would be the same. Why are you mocking me?
You have light physically located on camera film on Earth without any physically possible mechanism for it to get there...leaving magic as the only explanation.

That is highly mockable.

So what is the non made up definition of true free will? When you say "true freedom of the will" what exactly do you mean? What would "true freedom of the will" look like if it were to exist?
I told you many times that free will would mean we could hurt people under any antecedent condition (that is the very definition of free will), but this is not true which proves conclusively that we are controlled by a higher law of man's nature.

Have you ever heard this cliche? It describes you to a t.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and little learning is a dangerous thing.

If you only know a little about something, you may feel you are qualified to make judgments when, in fact, you are not.

My answer was not thoroughly thought through, that's all. I was differentiating a camera from the eye, but I was incorrect when I said the that a photograph taken would be any different from real time seeing. It would not.

It also perfectly describes Lessans and his knowledge of Optics, Psychology, Economics, Astronomy, Personal relationships, plus a few more subjects. All of which he commented on with much less knowledge than almost anyone else. And you, Peacegirl, are following in his footsteps, he would be proud.

I know that film cannot have a chemical reaction with light unless they are in the same physical location, and I know that light cannot teleport, nor come to be at a location without traveling there. That's straight physical possibilities. I can absolutely make a judgment about your proposition that light suddenly and instantaneously appears on the surface of camera film with no physical mechanism for getting there.

What's dangerous?

But that's not true either. You were walked through this in detail back at IIDB well before you came here and repeated the same mistake all over again.

What does that even mean? There is no such thing as real time photography. There is no way to make the physics work for it.

You are failing to understand efferent vision and why light does not have to reach Earth for an object to be seen if it meets the requirements. Cameras work in the same way which is why you would get a photo of the Sun as it exploded, not 8 minutes later.

That's alright though, you don't understand it either.
I do understand how a picture can be taken without light traveling to Eart first and I explained why the image would be the same. Why are you mocking me?
More lies. You don't have any idea how a picture can be taken without light traveling to Earth to be present at the camera, and you ran away from this problem last time after deciding to change the topic:-

Your weaseling avoidance is noted. I will bring it up again next time you steer the discussion away from conscience and free will back to vision. Until then efferent vision will continue to be rejected due to your contradictory claims about the behavior of light on your account.
Therefore...

You're just repeating the exact thing Lessans is disputing.
Yes. They are also the known measurable properties of light - which you and Lessans are disputing. What happens to these non-absorbed photons after they hit an object, if they don't bounce off and travel away from it? Don't just say that they "reveal the object". You need to explain where they are and where they are going immediately after hitting the object that allows them to do this.

The non-absorbed light can't affect the retina or a film without coming into contact with it. It can't come into contact with it without traveling there at the speed of light. If it gets there any faster then it is violating physics by either teleporting or traveling faster than light. If you think otherwise, then please go ahead and explain where these non-absorbed photons are immediately after hitting the object, and how they can interact with the film or retina to 'reveal the external world' without first getting to the film or retina, and taking time to do so.

The question that remains is this: How do the non-absorbed photons allow us to see the object on your account, given that they start at the object and can't affect the retina in any way without first getting from the object to the retina?
Bump.
Bump.
