That's all well and good, but the telescope cannot register reflected light off of a tiny piece of reflective material at a quarter of a million miles away, even if the light is intense. It just won't be seen.
Again, could you please post on subjects that you know something about, and leave those subjects about which you are completely ignorant, to those who know, which obviously excludes you.

Fine. Don't change your answers. That just means your account remains flatly contradictory, with the photons in question both traveling and not traveling the 93 million miles from the Sun to the film in under 8min.

Did they travel at the speed of light?

Can they leave the Sun before it is ignited?
Still no answers to the above questions?

So a lens cannot do anything to produce an image of the Sun until light has had time to reach it from the Sun.
But it has Spacemonkey. I'm not going to keep saying the same thing over and over again because you can't accept that this account changes everything. It puts the Sun in the same physical space as your eyes, which creates a different mechanism. You are instantly in optical range of the Sun just like you are with the candle. Actual distance has no bearing on this model of sight, which you keep bringing into it. He never said light doesn't travel and take 81/2 minutes to reach Earth, but this is not relevant.
Don't be daft. Your account cannot put the Sun inside people's eyes. And if the lens is affecting light that has had time (8min) to travel from the Sun to the lens, then we are talking about light that has arrived 8min too late to be of any use to you.

It doesn't matter what photons are being replaced, it is an instant view of the Sun just like the candle. Would any lens be able to pick up the delay when a candle is first turned on? NOOOOOOO, well the same is true here. You keep bringing up distance which has NO BEARING ON THIS ACCOUNT. NADA.
I didn't say anything about replacement or about distance. Try reading what you are replying to. You said you have always maintained that light travels. So I asked: Does that include the light you need at the film on Earth when the Sun is first ignited? Did that light travel from the Sun to get there? If so, how long did it take to complete the journey, and when did it leave the Sun?

Your response above is also nonsense, as there is no reflection of any image in the afferent account for your newly ignited Sun either.
There actually is...
No, there is not. There is no reflection at all involved in the afferent account of looking at and seeing a newly ignited Sun.
Bump for the :weasel::queen:

Just in case you thought your latest diversionary tactic had actually achieved anything.
Okay, emission. It really doesn't make a difference. Light is light whether it's being emitted from a light source or reflected from an object.
You've replied to nothing but the last sentence of my post. :facepalm:
No Spacemonkey, the same photon traveled from the Sun to the Earth but this has no relevance at all. You keep trying to attribute to light abilities that it doesn't have.

Due to all the posts I'm answering, they are all merging because they are all alike. I don't even take the time to see if I've answered them more than once. If I feel like answering again, I will. Sometimes I have something else to add. Most the time my answers are slightly different as a means of clarifying what I said.

It's as I've often said: as a professional writer and editor, I'd be happy to edit Lessans' book. I would make it much more concise and understandable. In fact, it would be the easiest project I ever had. Here's the whole edit:

The Decline and Fall of All Evil
By Seymour Lessans

The End

You can have the edit free of charge, peacegirl. :yup: Just glad to have helped out!
As much as I don't like some of the things you say, you happen to be very funny on occasion. When you make a satire out of the book, that's not funny because it's based on lies. But some of your posts crack me up like this one. :giggle:

What the fuck? The photon that left the Sun and traveled to the Earth is the same as itself? What photon is that? What the fuck are you even talking about? Do you know? How does this relate to anything in my post?

The problem wasn't that you've responded to the same post multiple times. The problem is that you STILL haven't responded to a single goddamn thing that it says!! :facepalm:

It has nothing to do with lying. Why are all of you so obsessed with this word that you use it in the wrong way?

No, the same photon arrived on Earth that left the Sun 81/2 minutes ago. It's not teleporting and it's not in two places at once. :crazy:

I did respond. I shouldn't have as the escalation of your namecalling is getting worse and worse. I said it's the same photon that leaves the Sun which arrives on Earth 81/2 minutes later. You think photons come in little packets with their own wavelengths, so the first photon must be a different image that arrives at the eye first. Am I right? :yup:

But the telescope DOES detect it and it CAN be seen. That is exactly what you've been shown. Do you have any moves left here other than compete denial of reality?

Yes, it detects it at 2.6 seconds when the light is now within the field of view of the telescope. At a quarter of a million miles it's not. I'm not in denial of reality Spacemonkey. That's just your little boy speaking who doesn't want to lose. :(

Yes, each photon has it's own specific wavelength that doesn't change as long as that photon exists, and each photon has it's own trajectory that doesn't change till it's deflected or refracted by some substance. The usual end for a photon is that it is absorbed by some substance and it's energy converted to another form. But photons don't come in packets, each photon is an individual that is independent of the source or the object that it has been reflected from. And even though they travel in company of other photons each photon is independent of the other photons.

At 2.6sec the light is INSIDE the telescope. At 1.3sec it is at the reflector on the moon, beginning to illuminate it (the reflector, not the moon). And that is what we see - these photons hitting the reflector - only we see it AFTER it happened. Your claims that there are two few photons for the eye too detect, and that the reflector is too small and far away to be seen, are quite simply false.

:lol:

Then what ARE you suggesting? The experiment is done. It has been done for fifty years! It has been shown to you! You asked for youtube, and I gave it to you. Yet you say the experiment that is done, and has been done, for fifty years, is impossible. How do you explain how something that is done all the time, and has been done for half a century, is at the same time impossible?

Is it the same way you maintain that light is instantly at the eye even though it takes eight minutes to get there? :foocl:

The reason we call you a liar, is because you're a liar! See? No violation of the law of noncontradiction there! Instead, the law of identity!

How in the world does this account put the Sun inside people's eyes? :eek: That's like your answer to his claim that the brain has a projecting function. You say it's just psychological when it's absolutely not psychological. It's physical conditioning that takes place as a result of what the brain is able to do.

You're right; that photon has no use to me except that when it arrives on Earth I will be able to see you. I know you think they are no use to me because you believe these photons that have the image of whatever I am looking at is now past history. But this is the afferent model, not what I'm trying to show.

Again, you are not seeing this from my perspective which is why there is no meeting of the minds or photons, for that matter. No, it's not necessarily the light I need at the film when I'm looking efferently at the object. That light may have already reached Earth. I am not counting on that individual photon to reveal the object or light source. If I haven't answered your questions to your satisfaction, I'll try again tomorrow, that is, if you don't piss me off. Goodnight! :wave:

Is that photon also one of the ones at the film when the Sun is first ignited? If not, then it ISN'T the same photon as any that my questions asked you about, is it?
You have ignored the above question.

You just rejected your own answers above, so you do need to answer them again. Here they are:

You need photons at the camera film when the Sun is first ignited.

Are they traveling photons?

Did they come from the Sun?

Did they get to the film by traveling?

Did they travel at the speed of light?

Can they leave the Sun before it is ignited?
You have ignored ALL of the above.

How in the world does this account put the Sun inside people's eyes?
That was in response to YOUR comment here: "...this account changes everything. It puts the Sun in the same physical space as your eyes..." Yes, I know. That was just you saying something stupid that you didn't really mean.

You're right; that photon has no use to me...
Then that should be the end of your magical lenses nonsense, as you've agreed that a lens can only affect light that is of no use to you and which arrives 8min AFTER you need us to be able to see the Sun.

If so, how long did it take to complete the journey, and when did it leave the Sun?
No, it's not necessarily the light I need at the film when I'm looking efferently at the object. That light may have already reached Earth...
Well, that was the only light I was asking you about. Look at the questions in the above paragraph. Can you count the question marks? How many did you answer? Maybe spacing them out will help you:

You said you have always maintained that ALL light travels.

1. Does that include the light you need at the film on Earth when the Sun is first ignited? [Y/N]

2. Did that light travel from the Sun to get there? [Y/N]

3. If so, how long did it take to complete the journey? [insert duration]

4. And when did it leave the Sun? [insert time relative to Sun's ignition]

You know you haven't. Have you answered them to your satisfaction? If so, why are you satisfied with simply ignoring most of what was asked?

That was a typo. That was not even a difficult math problem. You can't accept that this man knew more than you.
You assume it was a typo, because you can't accept that he might have made of mistake, but you have no way to verify it was a typo rather than a wrong answer. You have no evidence except your faith.

Hey, peacegirl, if the sun were in the same "physical space" as the eyes, you'd dissolve into your constituent atoms, because the temperature at the eyes would be about 10,000 degrees F. :lol:

Of course I think I first pointed that out to you three years ago, but with you it's in one ear and out the other! :awesome:

Do you think Peacegirl understands the words, "Photon", "Quantum", "Wave", "Packet", or any other word in the English language?

Could you describe that in more detail, for those of us who might appreciate it.

Are you Sirius, do you really believe it even got in the one ear? I'm beginning to think you're as out of touch as Sirius.

My daughters dog even knows better.
