Yes, we use light that has interacted with an object to get information about that object, saying we 'see' it. But, of course, what we see is the light, not the object itself.

But, in the same way, I can 'see' the air when there are heat waves or other refraction events that give information about the air. That is direct visual detection of the air via its interaction with light. We can also see how it interacts with other things. Not all detection is visual.

And, of course, if you cool air enough, you can see the liquefied oxygen, nitrogen, etc.

You can also see an object when it refracts light. For example, it is common to see water because of the way the waves refract light rather than the reflected light from the water.

3am thought: there's nothing social about "social media", another one of those sleepless nights.

Done with the vegan products that are most likely just as processed as regular foods. Plus, there is the expensive aspect that needs to be curtailed if I am returning to school. After all, what is it about eating healthy being expensive when you can be obese for cheap? It makes no sense. Therefore, I am curtailing my diet to only include fruits and vegetables. Basically, just salads or fruit salads.

Remember: ‘knowledge’ is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, ‘wisdom’ is knowing not to put tomatoes in your fruit salad.

Music is so much crap in this bar, that I use my headphones, listening to freak artists, like Yello.
