Hey, peacegirl, what does that mean? Objects bounce off light?

What do you think I've been doing this whole time?

Nothing.

I've tried to give you a theoretical mechanism.

And failed miserably. The best you can come up with is your immortal magic line: "Voila! We see!"

More testing has to be done on dogs and infant sight.
|
Why? Because you don't like the results achieved so far?
Shall we also do more testing on the moons of Jupiter? Well, as a matter of fact, we do, every time we look in a telescope: the results confirm delayed seeing and rule out real time seeing, while also confirming that we see light, not the "object itself," whatever that is supposed to mean. |
You mean after all this time you don't know what the difference is between interpreting signals from light, or seeing the object in real time?

We know this from dissecting it, studying it and oberving it. How do you explain that, peacegirl? Oh, wait, I know:

I'm not talking about the eye as much the brain in relationship to the eye. As much as scientists believe they know all there is to know about the brain, it's still not completely understood.

I know you would love me to leave. It would solve all your problems.
I believe the reason people haven't come forward in support is they know they wouldn't live it down. This place can be quite unforgiving.
