She's a real left winger 'cause she been down south
And held peasants in her arms
She said, "I can tell you stories that could make you cry"
"What about you?"
I said, "me too"
"I could tell you a story that would make you cry"
And she sighed, "aah"

A camera works in the same way. For example, a snapshot of the sun exploding would get the same image because it would be taken in real time, not delayed time. If light has not reached earth yet, we would not be able to see each other nor would the camera produce an image, but it would capture an image of the sun exploding because enough light would be present.

You just can’t stand being wrong David. Your ad hominems reveal a lot about you. Your unbridled emotions have ruined it for everyone. There is nothing regarding how the eyes work that are being debated other than the observation that allow us to see the same image but in real time. I know this bothers you so much that you aren’t the others have no civility. Sad!

Classics in Idiot Nonsense Babble, I

I know you’re trying your best to understand this concept

The very second you talk about traveling, you are not taking into consideration the fact that, although photons get replaced, the lens is capturing the mirror image of the object instantly. That's why I keep saying that although light travels, the light or image that is captured on film is not light that has traveled through space and time; it is present as a reverse image, or negative, of the actual object. I know you're trying your best to understand this concept. — peacegirl, May 2012

It’s not babble. The light is at the lens as long as the requirements of size and brightness are met. The image doesn’t change. The only thing that changes is whether the object viewed through the lens of a camera or the eye is in real time. This disturbs you greatly so you keep trying to hurt me! :(

What a misguided judgment. But to your credit you hit the nail on the head. Anyone making extraordinary claims on the internet must be a crackpot, by definition. Why wasn’t this great discovery recognized by now? I know what you’re thinking. I really can’t blame you for thinking this way though. I’d be just as skeptical. It’s the cruelty here that is so disturbing.

Wrong! They mean different things. He wrote both. They are not corrupted. You are being corrupted by Chuck. This place should be an experiment regarding how people follow others without any independent thought of their own.
