If there is no light source in a given space, the space is called "dark".
I do not understand however what is between my eyes and object

No, the question is Is the length of space between an object and the eye light or dark?I do not understand whether it is dark or light
Quote from: Thebox on 21/02/2016 22:01:48No, the question is Is the length of space between an object and the eye light or dark?I do not understand whether it is dark or light The concept of light within the human brain is dependent upon the photon reaching the retina of your eye. Nowhere between the light source and your eye can be interpreted as light unless your eye is there to receive it. Because the Sun is 93 million miles distant, it takes approx. 8 minutes for the photons created there to reach us here on earth. Asking whether there is light between us and the Sun is the wrong question. Now if you were to ask if there were photons streaming between us and the Sun, the answer would be in the affirmative.
Ok, so to confirm you are saying it would be impossible to know what it really looks like between our eyes and object?The problem I see, is that we observe the ''tip'' of the light, and objects a length away, we observe 3 dimensional light and observe the ''tips'' of light at the actual object, how do you explain this away in that we only see photons entering our eyes?

There are trillions upon trillions of individual photons streaming to us from these light sources and each photon carries information with it. This information is sorted out by our brains and that information constructs a motion picture within our consciousness. Every single photon carries a different bit of information about the light source that it came from and the combination of all these photons constructs the changing image recorded in our mental awareness.If you don't understand this explanation my friend, I'll simply have to give up the effort trying to explain.
Nobody observes single photons propagating through space, the suggestion of that is quite preposterous.
NO we don't, nobody observes single photons making contact with the retina, that is of the imagination, stop lying

He's not willing to accept any evidence except the notions revolving around in his confused mind. It's truly sad because he's bright enough to accomplish many things if he would only build upon the knowledge of others instead of trying to reinvent every scientific law and theory in existence. Sad, very sad indeed..........................
And I still say to call someone a liar is bad manners. I can see why you are ignoring. I'll keep away.

Sad, very sad indeed..........................I agree, truly sad. Not only did he not take the trouble to read the paper, in which case he would have understood the relationship between detect and observe, but he is now trying to redefine English as well as scientific terms.Ignoring the scientific synonym use of detect and observe for the moment, the dictionary for everyday use of observe says:notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.synonyms: notice, see, note, perceive, discern, remark, spot, detect, discover, distinguish, make out;And I still say to call someone a liar is bad manners.

As far as ignoring him, I keep vacillating between ignoring him completely and thinking that I might be able to help him. And I still can't decide whether he's just confused or if he's doing all this on purpose. I've read just about every one of his posts and I sometimes get the impression that we're listening to two different people. One is intelligent enough to express unique ideas and the other refuses to listen to common sense experimental data. It's all quite befuddling and frustrating to say the least.
