You state we do not need to change any physical properties of light or film or the requirements for their interaction.

Now, tell me. How can the photons and film come into physical contact?
When the brain is looking, through the eyes, at the external world (which is everything that is in your visual range, not just one object), a mirror image of your entire field of view (or screen) shows up instantly on the film/retina. This mirror image that shows up at the film/retina is analogous to the water showing the mirror image of the mountain. Your lack of understanding the efferent version of sight is causing you to revert back to the afferent model which requires travel time. That's why what I'm saying still doesn't make sense to you.

Mirror images are the new focusing, aren't they? It is a concept you do not understand, and so you just imagine that that is where the magic happens that allows an image to magically appear instantly.

The little light sensors in a camera just detect light. If the light that hits the little sensor is of wavelength A, then it creates a dot that has colour A. Lots of those little dots together form an image. That is all they do: we design them that way.
Who is arguing with this?

The water in this case is the light sensor. Nothing magically appears. Because light is striking the water, we are able to see the mirror image of the mountain. It works in the same exact way with our eyes. Any light that is in our visual field is instantly (due to efferent vision) at the retina (which is the light sensor) allowing us to see the world in real time.
So now light DOES have to strike the sensor, and we CANNOT see the sun when it is turned on, because there is no light yet to strike our eyes!

Vivisectus, I don't know when you came back to this thread but it appears you missed my whole demonstration. You'll have to catch up somehow. I'm sure I'll have to repeat the efferent model (and it is a model so I'm going to use this term) many more times for anyone to get it, so you'll have plenty of opportunity.

A mirror image does not explain how the photons at the sun can also be at the camera film. If a mirror image is a duplication then the actual physical photons would also have to duplicated to be at the film interacting. The known properties of light and known properties of film and known requirements for them to chemically react do not allow this. How can the photons that are physically at the sun ALSO physically be at the film without traveling there, appearing there, being two places at once, or teleporting there.

Let's look at it from the perspective of a single photon. That photon is emitted from the sun and is now traveling at 183 thousand miles per second and the camera film it must touch to form a photograph is 93 million miles away. How does that happen? Exactly. Explain the mechanism without changing the properties of light and without changing the properties of camera film, and without changing the requirements of the physical interaction between film and photon, and without invoking or mentioning the brain.

LadyShea, you're losing my reasoning, that's why you aren't understanding why there can be an interaction between the light that comes from the Sun and our eyes. You are fighting me on this, and I realize you, as well as everyone else, is coming from the position that blue wavelengths travel, but this is not the case. Once you recognize what is actually happening, the magic goes away.

Your reasoning is not answering the question. Your "reasoning" is not explaining a physical mechanism that makes this possible.

Read this again, and respond to it coherently and relevantly.

I mentioned nothing about blue wavelengths in this particular post you were responding to, but since you have stated that efferent vision does not require the properties of light to be changed, then you now also have to explain how light of a blue wavelength does not travel, when both wavelength and traveling are inherent properties of light.

How is it that once we drop the insistence on relying on well established, empirically tested, scientific fact, the magic will go away?

It actually doesn't because we can't resolve (perfect word) the issue of the object having to be in range. This is not a cursory observation.

peacegirl. We are only following your statements to see if they are compatible with known science, as you insist efferent vision does not negate these known laws and principles. You can't invoke mysterious and completely redefined mechanisms like focusing and lenses and mirror imaging as if they are explanations unto themselves. You must explain HOW it works and HOW it is compatible.

So. How can a physically existing thing called a photon, that has a wavelength and travels at a finite speed per the properties of light, not travel with it's wavelength and instantly be 93 millions miles from its current location to interact with camera film through physical contact?

Oh no saw it all right. It just makes no sense. You don't get it either, you just string words together to try and hide this fact.

Like in the example from above:

Quote:

Which means that photons magically teleport to the retina when looked at... due to efferent vision!

So photons either travel infinitely fast or teleport due to being looked at efferently!

Awesome. We better inform Mr. Hawkin.

We see what we can see instantly because we can see it. We can photograph what we can see instantly because we can photograph what we can see.

The above represents the meat of every single argument you've made regarding efferent vision peacegirl. You may change the words, you may add mirror images and lenses and focusing but the explanation remains the same..."Voila We See!"

I have to say that any response from David is a reaction of terrible fear. He is so threatened by the truth that he can't think straight, hence the reactions that are appearing here. I can't stop him, but I can tell you that he is wrong and he fearful which is why he can't stop attacking me.

I'm not lost. I am giving you the opportunity to explain efferent vision and how it is compatible with known and proven physics principles. This is something that will have to be done for any scientist to even consider listening to you without laughing their asses off. If you want to be taken seriously, you have to demonstrate you have seriously plausible material on offer here rather than magic.

So, for example:

You agreed that light always travels. This is a property of light. So why is the light of a blue wavelength no longer traveling if it has not been absorbed?

So white light arrives at the object, some of it is absorbed, and the light that corrosponds to the color of the object is then instantly at the film or the retina so that we can either take a picture or see it? What happens to any light that is reflected in other directions, not absorbed or interacting with film or retina?

Also what happens to this light if the object ceases to exist?

Your reasoning is not answering the question. Your "reasoning" is not explaining a physical mechanism that makes this possible.

Read this again, and respond to it coherently and relevantly.

Exactly. Explain the mechanism without changing the properties of light and without changing the properties of camera film, and without changing the requirements of the physical interaction between film and photon, and without invoking or mentioning the brain.

I mentioned nothing about blue wavelengths in this particular post you were responding to, but since you have stated that efferent vision does not require the properties of light to be changed, then you now also have to explain how light of a blue wavelength does not travel, when both wavelength and traveling are inherent properties of light.
Answer: The efferent model of vision (which, by the way, you know diddly-squat about).

That makes literally no sense whatsoever. If there is blue light coming from an object because it has absorbed the rest of the spectrum, then that means the rest of the spectrum has gone. That's what absorbed means.
I get that part.

You keep talking about that "travelling blue light". This is the crux of our problem. There is no travelling blue light. Until you get this (which will require more effort on your part to envision what I'm saying), you will fail to understand this concept.
Are you saying that the only light that travels is the white light from the Sun and once it arrives on Earth it no longer travels but the brain can see objects on the Earth due to this light?

:lol:

Wow, LadyShea, how d'ya like them apples, eh? The EXPLANATION of the "efferent model of visison" IS "the efferent model of vision. (which, by the way, you know diddly-squat about)" In other words, we see because we see!

Voila! We see!

:awesome:

Now I hope that settles everyone's hash and ya'll will apologize to Perfesser Peacegirl for having wasted so much of her precious time here! :awesome:

This is not an answer. So you cannot explain anything, you can only assert.

How can I know anything about it when you have yet to explain how it works or offered any kind of working model that doesn't require magically duplicated mirror images and negation of multiple laws and principles of physics?

Do you understand what explain actually means? Hint: the statement that "It is an instant mirror image" is not an explanation of the mechanisms.

You are completely lost, LadyShea, so sayeth The Airhead, it must be true! Frown and tell off! :unfrown:
I have to say that any response from David is a reaction of terrible fear. He is so threatened by the truth that he can't think straight, hence the reactions that are appearing here. I can't stop him, but I can tell you that he is wrong and he fearful which is why he can't stop attacking me.
:awesome:

Yes, peacegirl, I am terribly afraid that the laws of physics don't conform with what my father claimed. My father wrote a book describing the physical world in certain ways, and I have spent the better part of my adult life haunting Internet message boards to preach the gospel of my father's physics, and ....

Oh, wait ... :chin:

:lol:

Peacegirl, what makes you think anyone here besides yourself has a personal stake in what reality is like, except for you, who has wasted your entire life preaching the gospel of your stupid father?

Just now I'm reading a book called the Quantum Universe. In it, the author states, and proves, that Newton's famous Second Law, one of the most famous laws of physics ever devised, "is going to the wastebasket." He reiterates: "Newton's laws are heading for the bin." Do you think this makes me upset, peacegirl? On the contrary, I am riveted.

The problem, you see, isn't that anyone here wants to defend accepted accounts of physics. None of us, except for you, have a personal stake in some particular world view. The problem is that you are a willfully ignorant liar, and that is what people find repellant about you, and why you receive angry responses. We don't like people like you.

You'd better hurry, I'm not sure how much longer medical science can maintain the miracle of his survival.

I would be curious to know how much that treatment is costing, and who's paying. Also if Mr. Hawkins ever became completely uncommunicative, would they keep it up? Perhaps if they could understand why he has survived so long it could help others.
