Re: A revolution in thought
Let me see if I understand this. The Sun is turned on at 12;00 noon, like a light bulb, and begines emmiting photons, that are 93 million miles from the earth. And someone standing on the earth will be able to see the Sun imediately at 12:00 noon. The photons have not traveled the distance (93 million miles) yet to Earth (taking about 8.5 minutes). Now somehow that person on the Earth is able to see the Sun, their brain looking through the eyes can directly see the Sun itself (the physical body of the Sun) directly, and according to Lessans we see the object without any assistance from the photons (except that the object needs to be surrounded by a cloud of photons like a swarm of flies, but Peacegirl claims that the photons emited by the sun are instantly in contact with the retina of the eye, so the brain eye is somehow negating the distance from the sun to the Earth (93 million miles) and the time it takes light to travel from the Sun to the Earth (aproximately 8.5 minutes).

So all we need to to figure out is how the eye can acquire an image over that distance, and instantly, (according to Lessans), or figure out how photons can get from the Sun to the retina of the eye, again over 93 million miles and instantly instead of 8.5 minutes later. Does anyone really see a problem with this?

FTL transmission of information, sounds like a Nobel prize to me, I understand they serve a really good dinner with that. (I wonder if it's takeout?)
