Loading...You will never see light that goes past your eye (rather than into it)
…and you could never know it was there, or detect it, or measure it or even know what else is flying past – unless we had it go directly into our eye (or into a measuring instrument).
weird idea, never thought of that
Thank goodness, wouldn’t want 4×10^84 photons tickling my brain.
Aptly named book about science that ‘stares you in the face’.
That’s by Steve from spoken nerd, who talked at Brighton science festival a few years ago. Highly recommended.
So a Gamma-ray might have zoomed past me just now and I wouldn’t feel that it almost zapped me? Seems a weird idea tbh.
