To be honest, I find your objections quite inadequate. You make it look like I am at loss concerning the geometric issue and you simply ignore the rea...
That is I think the central point of this discussion. Though, if you have read my posts carefully you will know that I do not believe in instant propa...
Again, I cannot fault your knowledge of Optics. I think ray tracing, unlike wave theory, is very intuitive, and both do a great job at explaining what...
Interference and Anti-Sound Destructive interference has until now apparently already found a practical application in the audio-field. One can even f...
I honestly do not know what makes us see objects. In my example of a distant star for instance, I do believe that we see it there where it is, at the ...
You have given a crash course in optics and I think that many people will find it very useful; I thank you in their name. I will not try to reply to a...
Interference is a central concept of the wave theory of light. The idea is deceptively simple. Waves that end up at the same location while having dif...
Femto-photography You have probably heard of the experiment in which the speed of light, or at least its motion, was captured on film. One could see h...
Distance and Size One of the most obvious but still unexplained phenomenon is that objects appear smaller with distance. It is obvious, and we could n...
Interesting, but you are considering the phenomenon distance as experienced by the subject as potential or actual action. I was more thinking in terms...
Yes, Quantum Theory and The Mysteries of Creation. If I were the pope I would declare Bohr and his companions all saints. I would be really interested...
@"Rich" Thank you for the link. Bergson dared put into question the idea that mathematics is the "language of nature" as Galileo announced so proudly....
Have you ever looked at the reflection of a tree or a pole on the water? When you walk around it, you can only see it from one angle. Also, you do not...
I am glad you mention mirrors and even pinholes. They make the matter in fact not simpler but vastly more complicated. Mirrors reflect scenes straight...
Is the universe expanding? Not if Rømer was wrong and we are seeing distant stars the way the admiral was seeing the enemy ship: there where we see th...
Perception theory, as well as the established theory of light (duality of light) are both based on an assumption that has always been considered inatt...
Of course perception is involved in every aspect of human life and knowledge. As far as suggesting, it seems to me that it is what you are doing. I wo...
@"Rich" I saw my second post more as a clarification of the problem posed in the first one. Are we allowed to speak of the speed of light as we do if ...
Imagine you point a super Hubble-telescope towards Jupiter to see when IO reappears from behind its planet. Next to you is a colleague with a much les...
I see QM as a metaphysical theory in scientific clothes and philosophers should be much more engaged in its discussion. But as always scientists hide ...
I am new to this forum, otherwise I would certainly loved participating in this discussion. Maybe it is too late, but I would like to mention a thread...
