We know light can travel in a straight line. We know gravity can bend light into curves. We know light can behave like a particle or a wave (think of those interference patterns you see on a window screen). We know light takes about 8 minutes to reach us from the Sun. But the photon you see took 100,000 years to escape the Sun's core. We know visable light falls into a narrow spectrum. We have learned how light parallax can be used to judge distance. We have recorded slow motion pictures of photons traveling through bottles..... ugh
Yet, we also know the average Tiktok user is baffled how mirrors can show different things in the room as you change your posiition????
