You're being absurd and a weasel.
I do not need to understand efferent vision in order for you to explain where light goes that has neither been absorbed nor reflected when nobody is looking at it. Vision has nothing to do with the question, at all.
Light that has encountered matter, but has not been reflected, nor has it been absorbed is now where? |
LadyShea, you are missing the entire concept. If matter absorbs light but does not reflect light, what that means is that (N) light (or full spectrum light) is constantly being reflected and traveling through space/time, not (P) light. There is no (P) light sitting around or being reflected. (P) light is the non-absorbed light that reveals the object but that light is constantly being renewed as (N) light passes over the object. The object continues to absorb those new photons. I gave this analogy before (although not a perfect one): Picture someone chiseling marble from a statue where we are able to see the form underneath. The statue does not require us to be looking at it for the form of the statue to exist now that the extra layer of marble has been removed, but we have to be looking at it to see it. By the same token, we don't have to be looking at the object for it to be absorbing certain wavelengths, although the only way we can see it is if we're looking directly at it (it's within our visual range), or if the lens of a camera is focusing the (P) light, which would instantly be at the film.
