Before passing on to the subject of the eye, let us briefly
answer the question of how we see. Light rays coming from
an object fall oppositely on the eye's retina. Here, these
light rays are transmitted into electric signals by cells and
reach a tiny spot at the back of the brain, the "center of
vision." These electric signals are perceived in this center as
an image after a series of processes. With this technical
background, let us do some thinking.
The brain is insulated from light. That means that its
inside is completely dark, and that no light reaches the
place where it is located. Thus, the "center of vision" is
never touched by light and may even be the darkest place
you have ever known. However, you observe a luminous,
bright world in this pitch darkness.
The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct
that even the technology of the twentieth century has not
been able to attain it. For instance, look at the book you are
reading, your hands with which you are holding it, and then
lift your head and look around you. Have you ever seen such
a sharp and distinct image as this one at any other place?
Even the most developed television screen produced by the
greatest television producer in the world cannot provide such
a sharp image for you. This is a three-dimensional, colored,
and extremely sharp image. For more than 100 years, thou-
sands of engineers have been trying to achieve this sharp-
ness. Factories, huge premises were established, much
research has been done, plans and designs have been made
for this purpose. Again, look at a TV screen and the book you
hold in your hands. You will see that there is a big difference
in sharpness and distinction. Moreover, the TV screen shows
you a two-dimensional image, whereas with your eyes, you
watch a three-dimensional perspective with depth.
