Random Thoughts

OK guys ...Listen up ... This one's freaky! There is no correct answer .... (unknowable?)

You know the way our eyes are designed where images actually reach our optic nerve upside down and our brain does the decoding.
Some university did a test by letting participants wear special glasses which flipped the images in front of them.

It took the brain about 2 days to compensate for this and flip the flipped images back again.
On the conclusion of the test, it took a couple of days again for things to go back to normal.

My question is: When a newborn baby opens his/hers eyes up for the first time to see mummy, does he see mummy upside down for a while until the brain learns to compensate?
Or is the programming in our dna?

Your welcome.

They see people upside down until the brain compensates.

A few days ago at work, a nice lady who works in the women's fragrance department remarked that I was a gentleman.  She even went as far as saying that she thought I was a handsome man who could probably be auctioned off at one of those fundraiser type event things.  Now, this all took me by surprise, and as a result, I simply thanked her and told her on multiple occasions that she is extremely generous.

With that said, her remarks were kind and I could see that she was being genuine and friendly.  Interestingly enough, around ten minutes later as I was passing her counter, she remarked that I should've winked at her to let her know that I thought she was alright (it was innocent and she was just being friendly; she's probably old enough to be my mother).  In response, I delivered a perplexed hmmm at which point she and some of the women around her just smiled.  Well, needless to say, that experience certainly made my day.

Older women need loving too that was a come on if ever I heard one.

You're very generous to suggest that; however, I think she was just being friendly.

The young Selina Kyle on Gotham understands guns perfectly.

She handed the young Bruce Wayne a gun and said, "Guns aren't for show, Bruce. And they're not for protection. They're only for one thing."

I think they initially only see unrecognizeable blurs; light and motion.

But still, those could be upside down

OK. Now what tells us that the images need to be flipped in the first place? DNA? (Or anything to do with the direction of gravity?)
Also, I'm not aware of anyone who either by genetic mutation or trauma to the brain has lost the ability to flip the image? (Assuming they have vision).

Yet, it's god's perfect design.
