Then why aren't these photographs of full spectrum (aka white) light?

I don't know where you've lurked ThreeLawsSafe, but I've been to quite a few forums and these individuals, who are pretending to be God's gift to science, are very threatened by these claims. This is why they are pulling out all of the stops to make it appear as if I'm loony, but the truth is I'm just as sane as they are. They can't stand that you are siding with me and they'll do anything to get you to be on their side.
:lol:

Try again, peacegirl!

And yes, she is freaking out because she understands full well the implications of how we fire rockets to Mars and other places.

Hey, I've an idea. Nasa.gov probably has some kind of "ask the scientists" service. Shall we go there and ask NASA how they use the speed of light to calculate the trajectory to send spacecraft to Mars and other places, peacegirl? Want us to do that for you, hm? :popcorn:
Announcement: This guy is oblivious to anything I'm saying. I have agreed that NASA calculates the trajectory to send spacecraft to Mars and other places by the speed of light. But they don't calculate the position of a planet by factoring in an extra time delay.
:lol:

Some time ago I used an example of a frog in a pan of water, which was quickly pointed out to be wrong, but the idea is that the frog was in the water as it heated up and didn't try to get out. Here many of the posters have been here from the begining, or close to it, and it has become a bad habit, where some come just to see what Peacegirl has posted now, and others post to refute what she has posted. For many its like 'rubber-necking' at a wreck site, curiosity is a powerful draw.

Wait, you refuse to put up with anyone else describing you as mentally ill, but you think posting comments like this is perfectly fine? Hypocrite.

If you keep refusing to answer any of my questions you'll leave me with no option but to revert to discussing your mental state with other posters instead. Is that what you want? I'd rather discuss your material, but you're making that impossible for me.

You can't be blamed for not understanding the astrophysics, I don't fully understand it either, because I have never studied it nor that high of a level of math.

But, Dragar is an astrophysicist, he explained what that math means regarding position and that speed of light is factored into it.

Peacegirl, I agree that some folks just pick at you for the fun of it. Naturalist.atheist, for example, thinks this is some kind of lab experiment in which he can diagnose mental illness.

But the majority of folks here, like LadyShea, Spacemonkey, and DavidM, are really legitimately trying to explain science to you. And you're not really listening or replying with any kind of openness. You respond with personal attacks as much as anyone. While I don't think we can assess your mental states, I also think you could have a legitimate scientific conversation here, and you're missing out on that.

This is fundamentally different than witch hunts. People were killed in witch hunts. Here, you simply have people explaining science to you at the best and insulting you at the worst.
I don't know what you've read, but these people are very threatened by these claims. They would not act like this if they weren't.

I guess I am going to give some unsolicited advice to you in this case. I would recommend that you enroll in an optics or physics class at your local college or university (or, alternatively, you could also do some serious digging around the internet at sites like Khan Academy). Get an education in physics, do it with an open-mind, and start experimenting in a guided lab using standard scientific methods. I think you would come away the better person for it.

Nope, as has been explained to you, we are offended by your lying and your wilfull ignorance, and it's important for some people here to stand up for truth and facts against the lies and deceit practiced by the likes of you.

I and others have been almost literally begging her to enroll in a few basic science-literacy courses for months now. She has ignored all such advice.

In particular, I've pointed out that she could easily have her claims about how we see disproved by taking a basic course in Human Anatomy & Physiology at any nearby college.

I've also been literally begging her to take the time to visit any college or university library to read up on some of the studies which she claims don't exist (and she won't read when given links). Again, to no avail.

What you are saying requires a photon at be at two places at once. You have yet to explain how this works from a simple mechanics point of view...how does it touch the film if it's at the object?

I'm sure it would be extremely interesting, but it would not change what I know to be true. This is a scientific discovery ThreeLawsSafe, and one day it will be recognized. I do want to get off of this topic before I decide not to discuss his other discovery, which no one understands. His first discovery is the most important because it has the power to prevent war, crime and hatred.

Please stop TLR, all this will do is confirm what science believes to be true, so it will be much of the same. I already know what science believes.

And yet again the liar will have to be corrected.

Science does not perform experiments to confirm what it "believes to be true." It performs experiments to falsify its claims.

I believe it was Dragar who even posted a video discussion of this. Did you forget it already? Or are you just, as I suspect, lying your sorry ass off again? Hm?

I do understand what you're saying. But I don't think you do. You've just said that the photons teleport themselves from the object to the camera film.

And if there are two cameras both pointing at the same object, can you tell me which of those two camera films a given photon will go to? Or will it simultaneously exist at both film locations?

And if the blue photons are disappearing from the object's surface to appear instantly at one or more camera films, then they aren't still there at the object to bounce off as part of (N)reflected sunlight. So how can that (N)reflected sunlight still be full spectrum? The blue part of that spectrum will have teleported itself away to any and all nearby cameras.

Well, that was entirely predictable.


And note, for the record, that if you took an A&P course or two, you'd probably get the opportunity to dissect eyes and see for yourself how they work.

That's not the point I'm making. I'm not saying that this world is a mirror image, but I can use this phenomenon to help you understand how the (P) reflection of an object will give us a mirror image on the film or retina, assuming that efferent vision is true.
