Cameras were designed to work just like our own eyes.
Design a camera to work like flies eyes, and suddenly you will get an image that does not match your perception.
That's the whole point, we don't know reality. We only know a model of reality that we can perceive with the senses we have.
Show a picture to a fly and it will tell you: "you're tripping, this is not what reality looks like".
- jklinger410 5y agoThe physical reality seen by a fly and myself are the same consistent reality. Regardless of our differences in perspective. You are correct, we only know a model of reality that we can piece together. And we piece that reality together, bit by bit, with instruments and math and studying. Regardless of how much you dream that there is an oasis in the desert, it is simply not there. No one else can see it, no instruments can detect it, you can't drink its water, it is unreal. You can "what if" and "woah dude" until you are blue in the face, but you will never be able to drink that water. So what is more real? The sun and the sand and your dehydration? Or an oasis that exists only in your mind? Many don't like the answer, but it is clear as day.
