2 days agoThe light that enters your eye carries enormous amounts of information with it. Your eye and a small portion of your brain comprise a highly specific tool for extracting a small subset of that information and processing it. The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the “brightness” - that has nothing to do with the object).
No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That’s just not what the word “hear” means.
That’s not what the word “see” means. You’re trying to to swap it for another word like “sense.” You see objects, not light.
