The Little Man in the Tower

When we investigate this system, we arrive at a most interesting
conclusion: In fact, our eyes have no ability to "see" at all. The eye is merely
an intermediate organ that converts photons into electrical signals. It has no
ability to understand and interpret. It is not the eye which regards at the
bright world all around us. No sensations of light or color are formed in the
eye.

In order to better understand this concept, let’s consider the technical
definition of sight in slightly more detail.

We give the name of a color to photons at various frequencies of
vibration. Depending on those photons’ intensity of vibration, we refer to
the visible effects they produce as red, blue or yellow. When all frequencies
are combined together, the result is white. Snow appears white, because it
reflects all the frequencies in sunlight, the combination of which produces

In fact, our eyes have no property of "sight." The eye is merely an intermediary
unit whose retina transforms the photons reaching it into electrical signals.
