Merely pointing out that it is a mirror image doesn't explain why it must be instantaneous. On the afferent model, mirror images are not instantaneous. They look the same as the object viewed directly because that perception is dated too. You have to do more than just point out that it is a mirror image to explain how and why it is allegedly instantaneous. |
In the mountain picture, if light was traveling with the wavelength of the mountain, wouldn't the reflection of the mountain continue to show up in the water? And why do we never see images of mountains unless the mountain is actually present? I have never seen an image in the water coming from light without the actual object (in this case the mountain) right above it. This is a clue that we never see images of objects coming from light alone.
