+148 It's weird to think that, when you're looking at something, you're really seeing the light that bounced off of that object, and not the object itself, amirite?

nope. i see the object i am looking at, yes if there was no light I wouldn;t be able to see the OBJECT, but since we have light it enables me to see the actual object

Yeah I always thought about that. Technically nothing looks like anything until light hits it

It is weird. Is that why they say polar bears are really brown and not white?

I don't know, but you live in Canada, right? Are polar bears really brown? smile

Do you see the smiley face? That's my way of saying that I am joking. I apologize if you took this as an insult.

I read that we see them as white but they are really brown...something about light reflecting...
