I see sun and water just fine. Maybe you need to revisit the eye doctor.

Been watching quantum shit again.
2019-2020 we took our first photo of a black hole and the first atom and entangled photons ... I feel dirty now like a voyeur!

We'll be cooking with MrFusion™ before you know it ...

No, you see the light from them. Without the light, you would not be able to see them.  it is their *effects* on light,not the sun or the water.

In the same way, you see the *effects* of air on things, not the air itself.

The only difference is that the sun emits light and water reflects and refracts it. Air mostly lets the light through without much effect.

Absurd. Viewing it is seeing it.

Eternity POV: this reality is just a very longwinded way of some alien of capturing that elusive electron (from the 1 electron universe hypothesis).

If you view something in the mirror are you seeing it? Remember that the object itself may be behind you and the image in front of you.

There's a "Kant can't..." joke somewhere inside that quote about a thing-by-itself there about light and the object refracted off it, I just Kant see it.

We ARE seeing things when we view the light reflected off of them. That’s how ‘seeing’ works, ffs.

Yup, that’s how it works.
