The light striking the rod and cones in your eyes are "perceived" by the energy the photons transfer to them. This is no different than plants using this energy. Both are just a physical interaction between matter and photons.Saying that photons aren't "light" unless they are "perceived" is just philosophical hubris in my opinion. It's an arbitrary dividing line that serves no purpose.
if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it does it make a sound.
Light is perceived by our brain plants have no brain plants do not see light now you have learned something.
"Is light real?"YesQuote from: Just thinking on Today at 00:02:32 if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it does it make a sound.Yes.
Only if there is an eye and an ear and a brain to perceive it. My point all along.

There is nothing philosophical or silly about the truth
If you have a camera but don't take a photo then no picture exists. If there is no eye then no light exists. Full stop.

It would be helpful if you were to explain as of to date there has been no debate
Because there is nothing to debate.You have made an assertion with no evidence.It can therefore be dismissed with no evidence.The fact that the assertion is nonsense doesn't help your case.
So what you believe is that photons are light
So what you believe is that photons are light They are.

Utter nonsense. Light is electromagnetic radiation. Are you denying that a light dependent resistor works because there are no rods and cones? What about a CCD or CMOS detector?
