Where is this my stupid strawman? Doesn't light bring something to the eye, according to the theory? Yes or no?

Isn't it true that the eye, camera or telescope are considered light detectors and that, according to scientists, all that is needed to produce an image is to collect enough light and the image will be seen, regardless of whether the event or object no longer exist? Where is this a strawman? Isn't this what science believes?

The nonsense strawman part is "non-absorbed photons (the image or pattern)".

What is it that allows us to see an image if not for the light (the non-absorbed photons) that are interacting with the retina? Why are you shooting yourself in the foot?

since white light (the full spectrum which has a different wavelength/frequency)

Like a crowd of people wearing different colored shirts walking in the same direction.

Who the hell is arguing with this?

Great! So there should be no problem in understanding what we see based on this knowledge.

I wasn't talking about infrared light. Why are you trying to confuse everyone?
