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 cen-
ter as an image after a series of processes. With this tech-
nical 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 pro-
duced by the greatest television producer in the world can-
not provide such a sharp image for you. This is a three-
dimensional, colored, and extremely sharp image. For
more than 100 years, thousands of engineers have been
trying to achieve this sharpness. 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 dis-
