3. HOW are the photons physically located at the Sun ALSO physically located on the surface of the camera film on Earth (where there are no photons) to be absorbed?

Actual photons have to actually strike the actual film to be absorbed by the silver halid molecules. HOW DO THE PHOTONS GET THERE in the above example out of Lessans book?
Quit answering about objects and reflections, because all that is in the above example is the newly turned on Sun and the camera film. It is noon. There are no photons on Earth to be absorbed by the camera film until 12:08
How does the camera film absorb a photon, which is required to take a picture, at noon in this scenario?

A camera absorbs photons instantly the same exact way the eye sees objects in real time, which has everything to do with efferent vision. If you can't grasp this concept, it will look like a violation of physics but it's not. |
That does absolutely violate physics because that means photons are in two places at the same time. It's not a concept I need to grasp, it's a physical process you need to explain without violating the laws of physics.
Remember, in this scenario, there are no photons on Earth, at all. According to physics Photons must touch camera film to be absorbed this means they must be located in the same physical coordinates of space. How are the photons getting there in efferent vision? |

LadyShea, as you understand how efferent vision creates a mirror image on the retina, you will also see why the physical coordinates are touching the film. But it's going to take time to understand this. I'm not saying this sarcastically. I can see how difficult this is.
