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, 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 distinction. Moreover, the TV screen shows
you a two-dimensional image, whereas with your eyes, you

watch a three-dimensional perspective with 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 an artificial three-
dimension. The background is more blurred, the foreground
appears like a paper setting. Never has it been possible to
produce a sharp and distinct vision like that of the eye. In both
