So we can see events instantly, yet still see the same event happen at different times because we are in different inertial frames? :lol:
I don't see the problem. We could see a different order of events depending on our inertial frame of reference and still see in real time.
:lol:

No.

See the chart above. What part of it do you not understand?

"I don't see the problem" is one of your favorite expressions. You "don't see" the endless problems for your claims either because you are incredibly dishonest or incredibly dumb, or both most likely.

This really has nothing to do with it.

Boys, for the two parties, are any of you interested in male strippers? :strip:

Because if you are, I can procure some. I'm not one to judge lifestyle choices. If you boys would rather contact Flo in private on the subject of male strippers, feel free to do so.

Yes, that can be arranged. In addition, if there is a Homo Consensus here, I can arrange for the male strippers to wear translucent robes, as well as sexy jackets.

Furthermore, I can attest that the male strippers I have in mind will be absolutely satisfying to the vast majority (98 percent) of environmental homo-sexuals, but also to the 2 percent of Homos who are either glandular or inherited Homos.

It is, but your conclusion is inaccurate in my humble opinion. If you don't care about my opinion, that's your prerogative.
Spacemonkey's opinion is supported by a great deal of evidence and data, while your's has none, and that makes his opinion more valid than your's.

Completely unrelated.
No, it is directly related and the fact that light nor anything can travel faster than c has been tested and verified many times over the years.
Lessans was wrong.

Peacegirl, would you like to discuss the relativity graphic? :grin:
No I would not. I looked over the link below and I don't think it conflicts with real time vision because we would see these relative differences. You believe that if we saw in real time, we would see the same exact thing regardless of the differences in inertial frames. That's just not true. Let it go David. I don't think there is a conflict when it comes to the relativity of simultaneity.

Bump.
I'm not going to feed into your logic. Of course light traveling to Earth would take 81/2 minutes to get here. But this is not related to the efferent model which does not involve travel time since we're seeing the object directly. Light is always streaming, so there is no violation of physics. It's revealing to me that you have not even responded to my request to see if this claim of efferent sight could be removed and the claim still work. That's what I want to focus on because otherwise this discussion could go on forever without a resolution.

I did, but that part about 10 million light years away is to be expected. Actually, the light might have just arrived from that long ago. But to get an image of an event that is no longer present (such as Columbus discovering America) is quite another story. Back to relativity of simultaneity, real time vision doesn't contradict the observation that what we see is relative to our inertial frame of reference.

Of course you won't! We all know a lying turd you are! A simple graphic easily disproves real-time seeing and so you will avoid it like the plague!

Or does "I looked it over" mean you didn't actually read it at all? :awesome:
I did, but that part about delayed vision is to be expected. That doesn't change the basic idea that what we see is relative to motion and not fixed.
The reason it is "relative to motion" is because we don't see in real time! Which is obvious from the Norton piece you "looked over." :lol:

I'll be benched for a week if I keep these shenanigans up.

Your 'model' (it's not really a model) requires photons from the Sun which cannot have come from the Sun and which cannot be photons.

They cannot have come from the Sun because there is no time at which they could possibly have been located there. They can't have been there before 12:00 because the Sun was not then ignited to emit them. They cannot have been there at 12:00 because that is when they are at the retina on Earth. And they cannot be there after 12:00 because that would be 'going to' rather than 'coming from'.

They cannot possibly be photons because all photons are traveling photons, and your photons at the retina at 12:00 haven't done any traveling according to you and your account.

It is revealing to me that you have ignored my response to this request. The claim can indeed be removed, as there is no logical connection whatsoever between the claim of efferent vision and the claims about conditioning.

Lessans agreed that it takes 81/2 minutes to get to Earth, but if he is right and the way we see is not the decoding of incoming light, but using light to see the real world not as it was but as it is (because the wavelength/frequency is already at the eye), then to ignore this model because you think it's impossible would be very unfortunate indeed.

That's your answer? To just spout off that there is no logical connection whatsoever between the claim of efferent vision and the claim about conditioning without giving me a reason as to why, makes me believe you're bluffing regarding your understanding of anything he wrote on this subject.
