We are the ones who have discussed modern technology. You have made zero discussion of any observation. In fact, you've recoiled from doing so, because they have all contradicted your position!

So how can you possibly claim we are not interested in what has been observed?
Because everyone is conveniently overlooking the FACT that we cannot get an image on film if an object is out of the camera's range but in a straight line with it. Doesn't that sound a red flag? The fact that light is moving so fast doesn't have anything to do with this observation or we wouldn't get a picture on film when the object is even closer to the camera.

Images may be two-dimensional, such as a photograph, screen display, and as well as a three-dimensional, such as a statue or hologram. They may be captured by optical devices—such as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water surfaces.

The word image is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or an abstract painting. In this wider sense, images can also be rendered manually, such as by drawing, painting, carving, rendered automatically by printing or computer graphics technology, or developed by a combination of methods, especially in a pseudo-photograph.

A volatile image is one that exists only for a short period of time. This may be a reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene displayed on a cathode ray tube. A fixed image, also called a hard copy, is one that has been recorded on a material object, such as paper or textile by photography or digital processes.

Not necessarily, just large enough and accessible enough to demonstrate how it works to laypeople, not just to the ones that belong to the exclusive club with a vested interest.

No-one is overlooking that. It is exactly what the Hubble pictures provide.

This is a contradiction and does not proove anything. If it is out of view it cannot be in a direct line with no obstructions. This is also a good example of Lessans reasoning and writing. He was completely confused about everything he was trying to say.

If the camera produces a delayed image, it supports the 'Moons of Jupiter' observation.
You are speaking in complete gibberish mode thedoc. When an object is out of view of the lens it can still be in a direct line with it, without any obstructions that would cause the light to deflect. You just don't want to admit it because then you'd have to rethink your entire position.

Peacegirl, are you retracting your agreement that it is the wavelength of light at the film which determines the color of the resulting photographic image, and that this light has arrived there from somewhere else?

If you are retracting this, then what determines the color of the image and where did that thing come from?

If you are not, then did the light have the same or different wavelength properties just before it got to the camera?

Where does this story go wrong, according to your version of what is happening?
I can see where the problem is. The image at the camera could not be blue if the light was first red because, according to science, photons are packets of light energy that aren't connected to each other and are coming out of the factory as separate entities. Therefore, they strike the film in the order in which they arrived.

I don't have one. All I know is that there is a contradiction but this in no way means Lessans' observations were at fault. I'm going to leave it at that because we're not going to make any progress coming from two completely different positions. Only time will tell who was right. We won't be able to figure it out in here, that's for sure.

That's not a fact. Pinhole cameras (and in fact all cameras) do this all the time.

And we do, as the Hubble pictures show.

Time has already told. You and Lessans are wrong. You claim to see the problem and have absolutely no solution. That means your claims have been refuted. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

You can't explain, even in your own terms and by reference to your own beliefs about how light works, how real-time photography is even possible. And yet you require real-time photography to maintain the possibility of efferent vision.

Can you at least agree that efferent vision/real-time photography are impossible given the assumptions about light and physics you had agreed to in the answers you gave to my questions? And that efferent vision will therefore require rejecting at least some of these basic properties of light and physics?

You've just agreed that you are holding contradictory beliefs in your attempt to maintain belief in efferent vision. Why aren't you interested in resolving those contradictions? Why is it more important to you to continue believing in efferent vision than it is to be logically consistent and avoid false beliefs (contradictory beliefs imply that at least one must be false)?

Wuh? If an object is out of range (assuming some sensible definition of that), the standard theory of light predicts we won't be able to get an image on the film. That's not a problem, it's a confirmation of the usual theory. The fact a range exists at all is only explainable by the theory of light. We can predict (using our knowledge of light) how far away we can see for a given camera setup. It all works. Lessans ideas, on the other hand...

Exactly! In addition, there's indirect evidence for efferent procreation in the form of efferent ejaculation. We can in turn soundly infer the truth of efferent ejaculation from the undeniable existence and popularity of the bukkake industry.

peacegirl, you and Lessans appear to be the only people in the world that have observed what you claim is the basis of your findings. No one else has been able to reproduce anything that you or Lessans claim. Yet the very instrument you are using to read what I have typed here confirms all that everyone else has been saying and shows your "observations" to clearly be the result of mental illness. You are not capable of comprehending the degree to which the very scientific principles you doubt are the bedrock or your everyday life.

I would suggest that it was only Lessans who is supposed to have made these 'observations', Peacegirl is only taking the claims on faith based on her indoctrination by her father and a passing familarity with the book. She has never claimed to have made any observations herself, but everything must be taken on faith that Lessans was correct in his conclusions from these undisclosed observations. If any of these were disclosed and detailed it might help to explain how Lessans misconstrued that data into his conclusions that were so totally off the mark.

Do you know what "field of view" actually means in optics and why something that is too far away can't be photographed unless you correct for distance with longer exposure time, telephoto lenses, etc.? We've explained all this. We've given you multiple photos of "light itself".

You're causing confusion by refusing to address or accept these examples.

There's no contradiction except in your own mind. What contradiction have you personally observed?

We won't be able to figure it out in here, that's for sure.
Why not? The only reason we are unable to figure it out is your obstinate refusal to believe Lessans was fallible.

Yeah, but you don't speak answers, maybes or could be.
