 Light is all that we see! Remember how you Googled how mirrors work, because you're the only person on earth who doesn't know how they work, and you've several times copy-pasted the correct explanation, which contradicts you and Lessans? |
It doesn't contradict me at all. If a mirror was out in space, it would work the same way because the principles haven't changed. The object, the mirror, and the viewer would all be within our field of view. Just because the light strikes the mirror and goes off into a different direction doesn't change anything. It just redirects the pattern of light, is all.

There would be no nonabsorbed photons interacting with the film. We're not talking about reaching across the solar system and tweaking atoms in the film. We are looking at this from a completely different mechanism, which no one seems to be getting at all.

No I'm not, that's what you're saying because you're dying to make this account untenable. Light is instantly at the eye or film, but not by reaching across the solar system through space/time. You're mixing up these two accounts brilliantly.

And I maintain that, but only under certain conditions is this possible. David you haven't been listening at all to my explanation. You just want to be right at all costs because it threatens your worldview, and who wants to have cognitive/dissonance to deal with?
