But this can be demonstrated easily, and has been in the lab. You can set up multiple mirrors at specific angles, shine a light on the first one and measure the time it takes to reflect from one to the other until the light reaches a final point. The time is measured in fractions of a second, but it is still time.

We have a mirror on the moon, and can shoot light at it via laser for goodness sake http://science.nasa.gov/science-news...004/21jul_llr/

Of course everyone says that the afferent perspective explains everything perfectly, but does it, or could it be mistaken?

If it is mistaken, we have not yet found any example not perfectly explained by traveling light.

It does not mean that just because mirror images are perfectly explained with the standard model of sight, that it is 100% correct.

Nope, it doesn't. But, you have to show where there is a problem to look for a different solution

What do you think this discussion has been about if not to show you a different way of looking at what's going on?

There's no unexplained problem in the current model, that I am aware of, in need of an alternate solution.

I need to discuss mirror images in order to show you how it works in an efferent model, and why the photons don't have to traverse 93 million miles to intersect the film/retina.

I don't want you to use vision to explain it though. Light and matter (in this case camera film) work how they work with or without an observer. Any explanation must also work with or without an observer. If it doesn't, then you are presupposing instantaneous seeing, which is the point at issue.

So, can you explain how light and matter interact across 93 million miles without presupposing instantaneous seeing is factual?
