did i post this before? well many may know already but i didnt really stop n think to realise that light is invisible unless you look directly in the path of the photons.
amazing to know light is invisible.

yeah...if you were in an infinitely long tunnel...couldn't you then see light heading towards you?

isn't that just totally amazingly convenient for us....imagine if we did see all the photons no matter which direction they were heading...the world would be a blurry traily mess of light that would be impossible to decipher...we would be stubbing our toes all the time.
thanks god.. now stop the all the suffering please..

with a ball there is light reflecting off it all around, sooo many angles to look at the ball ....yet you only see the light from the angle you look at. All the other angles of reflection are invisible until you move your head around and look directly at the photons reflecting from it.. a ball wouldn't look like a ball if light was visible from all directions.

you mean light invisible?
take a mirror ...all those thousands of angles you can view (infinite perhaps?) Yet you can only see one angle at a time. the others are invisible until you move your head to see them.
amazing to think that really.

The act of "seeing" occurs when the photons hit your eye. Of course you cant see the other photons heading of at other angles.... but you knew this. You just find it "amazing".
Please recommend me some music.

oh no i'm not stoned, i don't do that. My mom smokes pot in the livingroom and i was trying to watch a movie out there and deal with the smell, but it made me sick so i ditched the movie and decided to go on the computer.

im sorry everyone. i just freaked to think i couldn't see the vast majority of light in my room .
.i just thought oh sh*t my light bulb is so inefficient. all those light photons ...what a waste.

Not so inefficient..... the light going off at other angles reflects back to you off other objects, allowing you to see whats in the room. Inefficient through the heat loss I guess.
Regardless, cheers for the music ideas.

you only see a tiny amount of the light reflected there is light bouncing around sure but you dont see the photons they eventually bounce around everywhere and turn to heat. you only see the ones that go through your eye balls. a tiny weeny fraction of what is in the room.
if you have a 100watt bulb ....you do not see all the energy from the bulb...only a tiny fraction . the rest is invisible turns to heat.

funny to think also that my t-shirt for example isn't actually red it just reflects red light from the white light from my light bulb the rest is absorbd turned into heat.. infact everything is colourless until light reflects off it. weird .
i live in the city you see...there is always light until i close my eyes. i dont have time to really think about what i see.
sorry if this is not very advanced science , but fun tho all the same .

I haven't touched that space in aages but it's good to know its not always falling on idle ears.
expect an msn add too where we can continue this invisibility discussion in real time, for real! i got some good links too which will give your brain a good tickling.

Imagine if we could see a wider range of frequencies of light, a few octaves perhaps. Would our sight be like our hearing? Would we see middle red, high red and low red in the same way that we hear middle c etc? How would high blue differ to low blue? Would it look the same, but just "feel" higher?
Maybe you could also produce visual "music" using different harmonics of light that correspond to melodies being played.

I suppose you would see finer detail in the higher frequencies, so they would appear "sharper" than the lower frequencies.
Also, rainbows would be wider in the sky and would repeat their patterns of colours that change in levels of detail!

did you know the only reason we can get electrocuted is cause electricity runs at the same frequency as us?
