hold in your hands. You will see that there is a big difference in sharp-
ness and distinction. Moreover, the TV screen shows you a two-di-
mensional image, whereas with your eyes, you watch from a
three-dimensional perspective which adds depth.
For many years, tens of thousands of engineers have tried to
make a three-dimensional TV and achieve the vision quality of the
eye. Yes, they have made a three-dimensional television system, but
it is not possible to watch it without putting on special 3-D glasses;

moreover, it is only artificially three-dimensional. The background is
more blurred, the foreground appears like a paper setting. Never has
it been possible to produce as sharp and distinct vision as that of the
eye. In both the camera and the television, there is a comparative loss
of image quality.

Signals from an object affect the brain by
turning into electrical signals. When we
say we see something, we are actually
experiencing the effect of electrical sig-
nals in our brain. The brain is closed off
to light. The interior of the brain is pitch
black, and no light can enter where the
brain is. The area known as the visual
cortex is pitch black, somewhere that
light can never reach, darker perhaps
than anywhere you have ever seen. But
you watch a brightly colored world in
that pitch dark.
