I suppose this could work as an explanation if the object in question were orbiting Earth. You do know, don't you, that Jupiter and its moons are not orbiting Earth?
As Io travels in its slightly elliptical orbit...

Ermm.. if we see "remnants from the past" then Lessans is wrong, because we do not see instantly or directly. Lessans states that we somehow have a direct experience of an object as it is, - that we do not detect the visual spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, and interpret that as images.

This is demonstrably not the case, as has now been repeatedly shown in great detail.

Photons are light.
Because light is a condition of sight, we are able to detect colors in the same way as we would if we were interpreting signals. Lessans never said we do not detect the visual spectrum of electromagnetic radiation due to the properties of light.

Then what's wrong with doing an experiment where we know an object is right in the line of sight, but just out of view? Shouldn't we still get an image on the lens of a camera if light is carrying that image?

That's the theory.

Because "out of view" has meaning in optics, because there is a specific scientific reason something is "out of view" and that must be addressed for the object to be seen or photographed.

With specialized equipment, like space telescope mounted CCDs, we do.

A light source can project images onto a CCD. There's no conflict here.

Then address it. Tell me what the scientific reason is that an "out of view" image would not be picked up if it was in a direct line with the lens of the eye or a camera?

Yes, there is. If we see according to how Lessans thought, we should see things instantly. But we know that light has a finite speed. So our images from light should be of the past, while what we see is the present. Those are two different things.

So why are they not different?

We might miss a target if we're not seeing the object in real time, but crashing into moons and planets, I seriously doubt it.

I gave you links to the science of photography and I gave you the branch of science you need to read up on, which is optics. If you want to continue to be ineducable and purposefully ignorant then don't study it.

Your experiment will fail because you are ignorant, yet you will insist it failed because you are correct.

Remain an idiot, peacegirl if it makes you feel better about life. It doesn't matter to me that the only spokesperson for Lessans ideas seems mentally ill and possibly stupid.

Dragar, this has been the topic of conversation for hundreds of pages with no resolution. The question still remains: Are we seeing the past due to the finite speed of light, or are we seeing the present due to light being a condition of sight?

That's just a dodge.

If Lessans is right, then what we see (being instantaneous) is different to images constructed from light (which is not instantaneous) using a CCD (for example).

But when we compare these two things, in reality they are not different. Why?

I must have missed the link. I am trying to catch up. You must feel cornered if you are now joining the ranks of your fellow groupies. This discussion is not going to be resolved here, but if it makes you feel better to call me names because it reduces your cognitive/dissonance regarding your worldview, then at least you know where it's coming from.

I'm not dodging anything. I'm saying that in order for an image to show up on a lens, there must be an object or light source present. A photon can be independent of its source (e.g., photons separating from the photosphere), but this is not the same thing as carrying [I know light is not actually carrying the image, so don't accuse me of creating a strawman] the image of the past to the present day.

I gave you the link to the science of photography twice and I used the words optics, angle of view, subtended angles, etc. multiple times, and I posted an image of the Pinwheel Galaxy at least three times and asked you if it is an "exact image"; you could have searched the terms or at least did some Wiki jumping to educate yourself but instead you act like all this is handwaving. You didn't even read the Lone Rangers essay on sight.

I am frustrated because you refuse to lift a finger to attempt to understand what people are saying to you.

You grew up being spoon fed the truth according to Lessans and thinking eating pudding is proof and now expect people to be able to condense hundreds of years of acquired knowledge into a couple pages.

This is total projection. I don't feel cornered, I feel like I am talking to a child who insists a mule is a horsey because he/she can't comprehend the differences yet and only sees the superficial similarities.

No, peacegirl. Light cannot provide instantaneous information about the present state of its source, having taken a finite time to reach us. That is even worse than light moving instantly.

If that idea were correct, we could never take an image, using light, of the Sun at dawn, peeking over the horizon. Recall that when light first reaches the CCD (for example) from the Sun (having taken eight minutes, remember), then the Sun would no longer be peeking over the horizon - it would have risen eight minutes ago. Our first images constructed from light from the Sun should show it eight minutes over the horizon, never just peeking over. Pictures of the Sun when at dawn (i.e. when we first see it), using light (which arrives after we first see it - light takes time, seeing doesn't, remember?), would be impossible.

So, now what? Is it now the case we cannot use light to form any images at all? Or that we can make images of the sun using light, before its light has reached us? Or does light now travel instantaneously? Or something else?

If properties of light AT THE CAMERA, then how can light of color matching a newly changed object be at the camera instantaneously to interact with the film?

Stop falling back on faith and avoidance. Follow through and deal with the logical implications of your own claims.
The logical implications are very clear. If efferent vision is true, then cameras work similarly. Although they don't have a brain, they work very much the same as the lens of the eye and the retina. You have to look at it from this perspective, which you're not doing. It would mean the camera's lens focuses on the object from which the mirror image is instantly seen due to light. Yes, the red photon was ahead of the blue, but that is not what is being captured by the lens.
So the lens isn't capturing the light travelling from the object to the camera? Then what is it doing? And you still aren't answering the questions I asked! Why is that, Peacegirl? Why can't you tell me what properties of what (and where) are interacting with the film in a camera to determine the color of the resulting photographic image?

What is it that causally interacts with the film to determine the colot of the (allegedly real-time) photgraphic image?

Where is whatever it is that so interacts with the film?

What properties of this determine the color of the resulting image?


For me, it is the specific wavelengths of the light present at the camera. You agreed, then disagreed, and now refuse to answer the question.

Peacegirl, scientists managed to soft land a probe on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, on January 14th, 2005.

The light (and radio waves) from Titan take about an hour and a half to reach Earth. The scientists aimed the probe at where they knew Titan to be, allowing for this 90 minute delay.

Titan's diameter is about 3,200 miles and it orbits Saturn at a speed of about three-and-a-half miles per second, so in the time light takes to reach us, it moves 18,900 miles - that's nearly six times its diameter.

If the scientists had believed Lessans and aimed the probe at where Titan is seen, the probe would have missed Titan by six diameters - that's like aiming at a dartboard and hitting the floor, or ceiling.

:lol:

Oh, yes, peacegirl, we all feel cornered by the wonderfully sublime idiocy of you and your buffoon of a father.

:awesome:

Hey, peacegirl, what about

THE MOONS OF JUPITER?

What we actually observe with respect to those moon is impossible if Lessans were right. Hence, Leassans was wrong -- and a buffoon to boot.

You didn't even read the Lone Rangers essay on sight.

I am frustrated because you refuse to lift a finger to attempt to understand what people are saying to you.
I have lifted a finger. Just because I didn't see the links you provided in the last couple of pages because I started on this page first (which isn't the best idea, I realize that), doesn't mean I have not tried to understand what people are explaining. It is also true that I am doing my best to see if what they are saying renders efferent vision impossible. So far I haven't seen that.

Why are you being condescending again? The saying, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is absolutely true. That's all about the empirical evidence. Maybe you didn't understand what that idiom meant.

LadyShea, this is not a projection. You never called me names before. What am I suppose to think other than you're beginning to imitate what everyone else is saying.
