I understand the experiment LadyShea, but what does measuring the speed of light have to do with determining whether we see an object in real time? Our eyes would never be able to determine this in such a short interval.
:lol:

And yet, somehow, the experiment was able to determine that the velocity of light was c! Precisely because of the delay in seeing the light!

You weasel, I call you on it. Simple as that.

Also lol @ "False Testimony"...so histrionic.
I feel that your desire to be the one who right is very important to you. In my estimation, you are trying to prove your importance LadyShea as someone who is smart and can do no wrong. It is clear as day by the words you utter, that you are dependent on what other people tell you is true. You are not an independent thinker at all. Could it be that underneath the facade of being one of the science-minded people that are responsible for showing us the way, that you could be wrong? There are no sacred cows LadyShea, and you are holding out like someone who is protecting his property. Unfortunately, you don't hold the truth in hand. You are agreeing with people who you believe have the answers because they are the 'scientists.' That's exactly why Lessans had to write the introcution the way he did. I know you will never accept my take on what is going on, but it doesn't mean there is not an element of truth in what I'm saying. Think about it.
Anyone with a small ability to use hand tools, a Home Depot and an pocket astronomical laser can do this experiment. All except schizophrenics. Lucky for you peacegirl, your delusions are unassailable.

Why are you harping on this? I am not disputing the speed of light. I'm disputing that our eyes could adjust in such a short distance between the lamp and the spinning wheel to know whether we see the lamp in real time or delayed time. It would be impossible.

You don't understand the experiment then.

The viewer could not see the light AT ALL if the wheel was rotating at a specific speed, even with an unobstructed line of sight at various intervals, because of the light travel time delay which caused the returning light to hit the teeth of the wheel instead of the gaps between the teeth

At slower rotation speeds the light could be seen
At faster rotation speeds the light could be seen

If real time seeing were true, then the viewer would be able to see the light all the time regardless of the speed of rotation of the wheel

To see light is not the same thing as the eyes being able to focus on an object. This is insane. We couldn't even do that within 1.3 seconds in the moon example. Get real.

Mean spirited gang attacks are a way of life on FF and not specifically directed at you. If you don't like it then you're on the wrong forum. But I warned you about the pile-ons half a year ago. If you're still posting here it's because it caters to your schizophrenic persecution complex.

A TV flashes the image 60 times a second. We have no problems focusing on it.

Sure it is, to see a light through a spinning toothed wheel is just like watching TV or a movie or seeing people under a strobe light

Silent movies were projected light images at a speed of 24-50 frames per second, which is why they were called "Flickers". You could see it as movement but it was flickery. Down at around 10 frames per second each frame would be perceived individually and at around 60 frames per second, like a TV, we see it fluidly

You, again, don't understand anything at all.

Here are instructions for making a stroboscope disk out of poster board to experiment with seeing through a spinning wheel

Here are some fun effects from spinning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benham%27s_top If we see "what is really there" and those colors aren't "really there" what do you suppose we are seeing? BTW I see purple and lime green

So when it comes to evidence against Lessans, you will only accept Earth-based rather than space-based experiments, but they must involve distances greater than the distance from the Earth to the moon? Do I have that right?

Light does not travel independently of the object in efferent vision, which is what you are trying to get me to admit by thinking in terms of your logic. I do not subscribe to your logic.

Has nothing to do with the efferent account. Sorry about your frustration, but I can't answer you in a way that you want because it doesn't apply.

Answering your questions will continue to confound you as long as you keep thinking that the light travels to the film or eyes bringing the image through space/time (even though there is space between the eye and object; the inverse square law). This doesn't occur in the efferent account because there is no time involved when the eyes are a window to the world.
Alright. Let's start again, and I won't assume anything you don't agree to, okay? We'll discuss ONLY your account and how you say it works.

First questions:

1) On YOUR account, do photons exist?

2) On YOUR account, is (or was) there such a thing as the past?

3) On YOUR account, do cameras take photographs in real time?

2) You agree that there are photons at the camera film (interacting with it to determine the color of the resulting image) when the photograph is taken, that this light also existed 0.0001sec before the photograph was taken, and that it must have had a location at this time. So what is the location of these photons 0.0001sec before they are at the camera film (i.e. 0.0001sec before the photograph is taken)? Were they about 30 meters away from the camera film and traveling towards it at light speed? Yes or No? If no, then were were they located at this time?

Ah, it doesn't change at all! So on your model, the photons at the film which determine the color of the photograph traveled to get there, did they? And they were 0.0001sec previously at a position 30m from the film and traveling towards it, were they?
What is wrong with your comprehension? In efferent vision, there is no time involved? Do you even understand what that means Spacemonkey? THERE IS NO TRAVEL TIME INVOLVED WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ABLE TO SEE IN REAL TIME. :doh:

So are you asking this because you do not know by now that she will not accept any evidence that conflicts with Lessans? Or is it because you can't accept that her illness would never let her admit it?

Why are you harping on this? I am not disputing the speed of light. I'm disputing that our eyes could adjust in such a short distance between the lamp and the spinning wheel to know whether we see the lamp in real time or delayed time. It would be impossible.
You don't understand the experiment then.

The viewer could not see the light AT ALL if the wheel was rotating at a specific speed, even with an unobstructed line of sight at various intervals, because of the light travel time delay which caused the returning light to hit the teeth of the wheel instead of the gaps between the teeth

At slower rotation speeds the light could be seen
At faster rotation speeds the light could be seen

If real time seeing were true, then the viewer would be able to see the light all the time regardless of the speed of rotation of the wheel
But I'm not arguing with this. It is a fact that there is a light time delay when we're measuring the speed of light, but this does not negate efferent vision whatsoever. You're losing track of the difference between light revealing the material world because of its properties, and measuring the speed of light which this experiment helps to prove. These two things are not contradictory.

For the umpteenth time, I said that light travels, but if it's true that we see efferently, then the light is not reflecting the image. We are seeing the real object in real time, which changes the role of light completely when it comes to sight. We can no longer look at light as traveling through space/time and bringing the image to us. The object must be in our field of view. You are still stuck on the afferent model because you believe that the photons are able to do what they are incapable of doing.

It depends on the experiment Spacemonkey. This experiment does not prove anything, even though you want to prove Lessans wrong in the worst way. Sorry, but your wish will not be fulfilled. :sadcheer:

We are seeing the real object in real time, which changes the role of light completely when it comes to sight. We can no longer look at light as traveling through space/time and bringing the image to us. The object must be in our field of view. You are still stuck on the afferent model because you believe that the photons are able to do what they are incapable of doing.
So which is it? Is the only thing that changes in efferent vision the direction in which we see, such that nothing else changes one iota? Or does it also require changes to the behavior and location of photons? You cna't consistently claim both.

So when it comes to evidence against Lessans, you will only accept Earth-based rather than space-based experiments, but they must involve distances greater than the distance from the Earth to the moon? Do I have that right?
It depends on the experiment Spacemonkey. This experiment does not prove anything, even though you want to prove Lessans wrong in the worst way. Sorry, but your wish will not be fulfilled. :sadcheer:
It does indeed depend upon the experiment. If the experiment involves large enough distances then you reject it for not being Earth-bound. And if it is Earth-bound then you reject it for not involving large enough distances. And the only distances you will consider large enough are those that are too large to be performed on Earth.

I'm still after an answer to these questions. Answer them once, honestly, and they will go away.

It can be both depending on where the eyes are focused Spacemonkey.

It can be both depending on where the eyes are focused Spacemonkey.
The focussing of eyes cannot make contradictions true. It can't make it true both that your account ONLY changes the direction in which we see, and that it ALSO changes the behavior and location of photons. If your account changes both, then it doesn't change only the first. And if it only changes the first, then it can't also change the second.

Is the behavior and position of photons on your account the same or different to that on the afferent account?
