Is the speed of sight faster than light? for it has to convert it for us to see or we be in slow motion?

There is a small delay between light hitting our eyes, and our brain converting it into an image Our brains use electrical impulses which travel at near the speed of light, but I am not sure what you mean by "speed of sight". Our brains interpret images in batches, and can only interpret so many batches at a time. We do not analyze every photon that enteres our eyes, but compare batches that are relatively close to each other.In order to catch a ball, our eyes must watch the ball travel through the air for some distance so our brains can calculate where to stand and hold our hands to catch the ball.

During this analysis, our brains are comparing where the ball is at different points in its arc, but not all points. The travelling ball seems continuous to us as we watch it, but in reality our brains are using only a few snapshots to determine speed and distance.In this way, our brains can predict where the ball will be when it is in range to be caught. Our brains do not have to operate faster than light to do this.

The light enters our eye at the speed of light several seconds before the ball will be in range to be caught.It only takes a few fractions of a second to determine the balls trajectory, and then a few seconds to move the body to the proper position. It seems instantaneous to us as it happens, but it is not faster than the speed of light. I hope this helps..

Confused You seem to be a bit confused as to how light works. Light travels at the "speed of light". Some of it enters your eyeball.

Your eyeball interprets the light as an image, working at the speed of chemistry, which is like, in the range of thousandths of a second. That is, it takes the chemicals in your eye about a thousandth of a second to respond to a change in the intensity or color of the light. Those changed chemicals then put out a changing electrical signal which travels down your optic nerves to your brain, again, at the speed of chemistry, how long it takes for a nerve fiber to switch from an insulating to a conducting state.

We're talking a few thousandsths of a second. So the images can arrive at your eye at a very high rate of change, millions of times a second if you're looking at a Tv screen for instance. But that information does not "pile up" if the eyeball can't follow every blazing change.No harm, no foul.

Think! The speed of sight is essentially the speed of light. Light is effected by gravity and other conditions.

Light travels at the speed of light. Light always travels at the speed of light. That speed varies in different materials, and light refracts (bends) when it changes materials if it does not hit it exactly head on.

We see light when the light causes chemical changes in certain molecules in certain cells in our eyes.

Technically, light is the fastest item in the universe. There is much to Einstein's theories, and much of them has been proven, and a cornerstone to his theories is that nothing exceeds light's speed. That said, obviously ANYTHING else is slower.So we come to sight.

Initially, measuring devices were so bad that folks thought things in the body were instantaneous. My high school biology teacher gave us the conundrum of how an 18th century scientist could prove nerve synapses take time. He used two different pendulums, doing the math, and had the subject release the pendulums when he felt a poke.

The poke was at his foot or his knee. That distance, however short, from foot to knee, was enough for this guy (forget his name, sorry) to calculate that the nerves were taking a finite time to travel that path.It was not instantaneous. Thus, light is faster than sight.

I need a dvd player with very good slow motion.

MS Vista is very slow on the internet even though I have high speed, how can I get it working faster.

Light and speed which of them travels faster.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
