You keep saying this, and this is the impossible part. Without an explanation- that doesn't violate physics- for how light gets to be located at the retina, it will remain impossible. Not just implausible....flat out can't happen.
Light can't just be somewhere because you need it to be there. |
Now you're getting silly.

Again, you are thinking in terms of afferent vision, which would make this model totally implausible. But if Lessans is right, everything makes sense. Light does not have to reach Earth in order to see the object, but you are not looking at it from the efferent position so, of course, it makes no sense to you.

We are not talking about whether light has to reach Earth to merely see the Sun, we are talking about your claim that light is located at the retina when we see the Sun.

That's not my claim LadyShea. You can't seem to understand why an object that is within optical range would put the non-absorbed photons at the eye without having to travel to Earth. This does not violate physics.

This is not my claim. He said nothing "other than light" strikes the eye. That means light strikes the eye.
