light is invisible

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.

oh flip...erm...i kinda believe the big bang thing.. but i
think this universe is tiny compared to where it is situated
.

we are in a big pond or ocean of other universes.

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.

we are only seeing 1 / quadzillionth of the light availible
to us.

this thread just gave me a panic attack... or it could be
all the pot smoke i just inhaled because it's all i could
smell in my livingroom.

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.

I don't think being stoned could possibly help when trying
to read one of freqys posts.

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.

music recommend

ozric tentacles
orb
biggiesmartypants
portal13

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 .

thanks superfreqy man!

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?
