Do I see light in space that as not entered my eye?

no

Are you saying it is not light in space and it is dark?
Then why can I see distance ?

It has become obvious that you are looking for a pseudo-science metaphysical answer to your question , maybe you think the eye can reaching out into space and picking up the image of the sun, long before any proton reached the earth and then follow it back and it this way observe distance.

If this is the case then it remains nonsense Period!

No, he means exactly what he said.
You do not see light that has not entered your eye.

Look up stereoscopic vision

... you are not even a scientist and have no qualification to even give answers

All the moderators on this site are fully qualified to answer questions. I don't usually bother to mention my qualifications, but as you ask, I have been studying science, particularly physics, since secondary school and have numerous certificates and qualifications. The last science qualification I gained was awarded by one of the UK's top universities. In my career I have given lectures to international conferences organised by recognised professional organisations and have been invited to be a visiting lecturer, on post grad courses, to a number of universities.

We don't mock you it is you who do the mocking. You mock the great scientists who studied light from Ibn Al-Haytham through Galileo and Newton to those who use the science to bring you the technology you use. You also mock yourself because you are capable of understanding but choose not to.

We treat you no differently to others on this forum. When you signed up you agreed to abide by the acceptable usage policy.

You see the sun when the light which has travelled from it strikes your eye, that light has taken 8mins to get from the sun hence we see its past.
Any other explanation is a new theory and should be posted elsewhere.

Ok, let me just ask questions then and not mention any ideas I have or you will only insult anyway with your Dunning and Kruger effect, you are not even a scientist and have no qualification to even give answers yet you mock me?

I would like to know who you think you ar with your high and mighty attitude since becoming a mod?

''You see the sun when the light which has travelled from it strikes your eye''

So how do I see the light in space that is not striking my eye and allowing me to observe a distance between me and the sun?

I have always been pretty straight with you, listened and even helped you clarify some of your assertions. Now that you have resorted to insults I will be much less inclined to do so in the future.

What I know, not think , is that space is transparent and I can see distance and light through the entirety of the distance between objects.


I can see it is light less than a foot away from me, light that is obviously not in my eyes.

That light may be a foot away, but it still has to travel from the bulb or object, enter your eye, hit your retina, and send the image to your brain. That is the process of seeing, it is well understood and there is plenty of information on the web if you don't believe us.

Why not go and ask on some other fora, there are lots of them, I'm sure they would be happy to explain.

Did you look up stereoscopic vision - ie distance perception?
