Quite a few actually. Not, of course, in the biblical sense.

:eek:

Are you fucking kidding me?

So now you admit that we see "pure light" from distant galaxies in delayed time!

Wowser! Maybe we are making progress with you after all!

However, that is not what Lessnas said. He specifically said that we see everything in real time, including distant stars and galaxies!

I guess you are a heretic now, defiling the memory and teachings of Dear Ol' Dad! :lol:
No David, it's you that's getting mixed up between seeing light itself, which we all do the moment morning arrives...and seeing the external world which is made up of matter. This model of sight is absolutely plausible but you are failing to see how because you are so stuck on your worldview that you can't see beyond your nose: :pinocchio:

Use quotes from Lessans to support there being a difference.

Explain exactly what we are seeing when we look at
1. The Sun
2. A more distant star
3. Andromeda Galaxy (which can be seen with the naked eye, binoculars, and/or a small telescope which is why I chose it )

If the hole is 1 mm in diameter, will this mean that light is "instantly at the photoreceptor"? What if I then enlarge the hole to 1.5 mm?

At what size does the hole become large enough that it lets in enough light that light is no longer "instantly at the photoreceptor" -- and why? After all, the only difference between a small hole and a bigger one is that the bigger one allows more light to pass through.
That's true, but the image won't be sharp if the hole is too large. It does the same thing as a lens because the light that is showing up as an image is the same light that would appear at the film from any camera, telescope, or eye. You are making an unnecessary distinction between pinhole cameras and other types of cameras. The same goes for telescopes that don't have a lens but work in a similar way as one that does.

Most of the telescopes you see today come in one of two flavors:
The refractor telescope, which uses glass lenses.
The reflector telescope, which uses mirrors instead of the lenses.
Both types accomplish exactly the same thing, but in completely different ways.

Based on what science has established as fact --- that light travels independently of the light source --- does not in any way negate real time seeing because when we see light from distant stars we are also seeing this light in real time. If this light interacted with anything in the atmosphere, it would be something is occurring in the here and now, not in the past. The way to know whether we are seeing the Sun in real time rather than decoding an image of the Sun could only be proven if the Sun was just turned on because we would be able to see the Sun before the light that was emitted got here 81/2 minutes later. Moreover, the Sun is large enough relative to the Earth that we would be in optical range within a nanosecond, just like the inverse square law tells us.

Why would eyeglass lenses on photographic paper not allow an instantaneous interaction, but a hole in cardboard would allow allow instantaneous interaction with photographic paper on the back of the camera?

We weren't talking about the sharpness of images or anything like that. We only asked about what is required to allow an instantaneous physical interaction between light from the newly ignited Sun at 12:00 noon and photosensitive materials on Earth, versus a light-travel time delayed physical physical interaction between light from the newly ignited Sun and photosensitive materials on Earth.

You have said that camera film would interact instantly because of lenses
You have said leaves and solar panels would have a delayed interaction because of no lenses

Then your claim changed

1. You have said plain photosensitive paper would have a delayed interaction
2. You have said photosensitive paper with a pair of eyeglasses on it (lenses) would have a delayed interaction...why are the eyeglass lenses not enough?
3. You have said photosensitive paper in the back of a pinhole camera would interact instantaneously despite the lack of a lens because of a hole...why would a hole work but actual lenses would not?

No, I don't understand why. How can photons traveling at just over 11 miles per minute cover a distance of 93 million miles in less than 8 minutes?

It is when we are talking about the light you say is already at the film when the Sun is first ignited. That same light cannot also be arriving 8min later.

That is you saying these traveling photons completed their journey in less than 8min. Given that you have once again retracted your only provided answer to this question, you will need to answer it again (the red one below):

You need photons at the camera film when the Sun is first ignited.

Are they traveling photons? YES
Did they come from the Sun? YES
Did they get to the film by traveling? YES
Did they travel at the speed of light? YES
Can they leave the Sun before it is ignited? NO


Can they arrive at the camera film less than 8min after leaving their source?

Note also that these answers alone make your account impossible. We are talking about the photons you need to be at the film on Earth when the Sun is first ignited. But here you already have them just leaving the surface of the Sun to begin their 93 million mile journey either at or after this time. So you already have these photons in two different places at once! (Unless of course you have yet again reverted to answering with respect to completely different photons than the ones asked about.)
Bump.

This is not an explanation of the differences between seeing light and seeing the external world that is made up of matter. It also contradicts your quoted statement

Do we see light from distant sources in real time or in delayed time?

I've explained this many times. We ARE IN OPTICAL RANGE. What does that mean? It means the light is interacting with the object which allows us to see it.

I wanted to differentiate the fact that we are NOT JUST FOCUSING THE LIGHT. THE OBJECT HAS TO BE PRESENT FOR THE LIGHT TO BE FOCUSED OR THERE IS NOTHING TO FOCUS.

Okay, if eyeglasses work the same as telescopes, then yes we should see a real time image if the object is in optical range. So tell me, where I have I gone wrong? Show me where we get a delayed image from the eyeglasses that show up where? If there is no photoreceptors, where does this delayed image show up where we could prove this?
3. You have said photosensitive paper in the back of a pinhole camera would interact instantaneously despite the lack of a lens because of a hole...why would a hole work but actual lenses would not?
The claim that we see in real time hasn't changed. Eyeglasses have no photosensitive material to show the image because there's no place that this can be displayed, and even if there was, the Sun would hypothetically have to be turned on at noon, for this is where the false conclusion that light has to be on Earth originated. That's why I said this knowledge had to come from outside of the field. Science concluded something that appeared logically true but when analyzed from this perspective (which is just as plausible as anything science has offered) is false. Your little experiment doesn't prove anything LadyShea, but I'm glad you're making the effort. It just so happens that you are unintentionally helping me to prove my case. :)

Solar panels are coated in photosensitive materials, just as photographic paper is. If the Sun was ignited at 12:00 noon, would a solar panel interact with the light at 12:00 noon or at 12:08? If 12:08, what makes the difference between a solar panel and photographic paper inside a cardboard box with a hole in it?

I a trying to get you to explain what photosensitive materials interact with light photons instantaneously, and what photosensitive materials interact with light photons after the light travel time delay, and what exactly makes the determination and differentiates which is which. You are all over the place with it!

The eyeglasses are laying on a piece of photographic paper (the receptor like film, sensor, or photographic paper inside a pinhole camera), next to a piece of photographic paper without glasses. Would the paper with glasses interact with light from the newly ignited Sun at 12:00 noon or at 12:08?

I never said a lens would not, but an eyeglass has no photosensitive material to show what is happening.
I clearly stated that the eyeglasses are on top of photographic paper, the paper is photosensitive.

Movement of light is not "proportional"
Just because a light source like a candle can emit light to a viewer a foot away in a nanosecond DOES NOT mean that a bigger and brighter light source (the sun) can emit light over a greater distance (93 million miles) in the same amount of time.

Also: Are you now asserting that there are two different kinds of light; regular light and "instantaneous light"??

That's not what the inverse square law tells us. You've made this up.
Absolutely not! The only difference is that you believe we can see the image due to the inverse square law of light, and I am saying we are seeing the object due to the inverse square law of light which puts us in optical range. The principle is in keeping with the efferent model.

I don't think you understand what the word 'proportional' means. :giggle:
I do know what it means, and I stand by this definition. No matter what the size of the box or circle, the object relative to the viewer remains proportional.

pro·por·tion·al
prəˈpôrSHənl/Submit
adjective
corresponding in size or amount to something else.
"the punishment should be proportional to the crime"
synonyms: corresponding, proportionate, comparable, in proportion, pro rata, commensurate, equivalent, consistent, relative, analogous

So, once again, how large must the hole in the cardboard be before it stops "acting like a lens" and bringing light to the photosensitive paper at the back of the camera? And why?

Is a 1 mm hole too big, and so there will be a 8.5 minute delay between the time the Sun turns on and the time the photosensitive paper darkens, since we must wait for the light to arrive and interact with the paper?

Is a 0.1 mm hole small enough that light is "instantly at the photosensitive paper" and so we don't have to wait 8.5 minutes for the paper to darken?

What's the magic number? That is, what is the maximum size of a hole that allows light to be "instantly at the photosensitive paper," such that if the hole is made any bigger, then we'll have to wait 8.5 minutes for the light to arrive before the paper darkens?

I know this won't satisfy you, but I'm doing the best I can to show the Lessans was not a crank, and if you finally realize this, you will pay more attention to his other discoveries which are more important than this one.
Movement of light is not "proportional"
Just because a light source like a candle can emit light to a viewer a foot away in a nanosecond DOES NOT mean that a bigger and brighter light source (the sun) can emit light over a greater distance (93 million miles) in the same amount of time.
We're not talking about the movement of light which involves time. You are still coming from the perspective that once light travels 93 million miles we will see the image. But if the image is not traveling in the light (you know what I mean I hope) we won't get an image. This is an assumption and all you're doing is following that faulty premise. If my father is right then the two examples are analogous because it's not the movement of light but the intensity of the object relative to the viewer that matters, and in both situations the requirements for sight have been met.

I never said anything about "instantaneous light". I clarified this already.

No, we do not believe we can see the image because of the inverse square law of light! At long last, just :stfu:, peacegirl. You are making such a fool of yourself, and of your father, too. Pray that his book does not become widely known. As I told you years ago, if it did, he would be the world's biggest laughing stock.

I am not sure of the magic number. If the hole was too large the projected image of the light source would be blurred or have no resolution at all. The photosensitive paper would still be interacting with light, but it would have no image that we could make out.

:doh:

To make it clear the reason why I asked if you're referring to two different types of light is because in ONE sentence you talk about light that takes 8.5 minutes to travel to the paper and "instantaneous light" that is already at the paper... that sure sounds like two separate and different types of light to me.

This kind of nonanswer is exactly what makes you look like someone who can't deal with the truth. It is your projection (get it? :wink:) that calls me a fool because you know you have no answer. Your vitriol will be here for everyone to see when this knowledge does become widely known. Truth always wins!
