Default why is light visible

if i look at tha other sensors i have, all
of them are short range sensors, tha
visual sensor is the largest range i
havee

worms has no vision, aparently, but thay
have tha other sensors, so their world is
limited at short distances

similarly, i have vision sensor but tha world
may be much more than that

relativity doesnt work even at that large visible
scala, at bigger scale we neef a larger theory

Looks like another fake imbecile.

you look like a bad looser becus ken seto has developed
The Enlarged Relativity Theory, and you havent developed
anything ever


Yet again the dyslexic morphing kook changes identities to avoid
killfiles. If you put half as much effort into your posts as you did
morphing, you'd only be 97% idiotic.


dont killfile me fool, i killfile you

my killfile is bigger than your killfile

why is light visible, you dont know fool


Light is not always visible. The spectrum we can see
with the unaided eye is about 400 nm to 700 nm (or 4000 -
7000 Angstroms). Other devices such as radios and infrared
cameras are commonly employed in order to detect, observe,
or monitor light outside of the visible spectrum.

Some insects can see well into the ultraviolet spectrum, but
have troubles seeing yellow (hence yellow buglights).

I don't know regarding worms.

Urban legend about worms

Worms cut in half usually die.

http://www.css.cornell.edu/compost/worms/faq.html

What happens if you cut a worm in half?
Almost everyone wants to know the answer to this question. Some species
of worms can regenerate, or re-grow, a new tail, if their tail is cut
off. However, a worm cut too closely to its' head will have difficulty
growing a new tail. Most worms will not regenerate a head.

Generally, we tell students that if you cut a worm in half, you will
most likely end up with two dead pieces of worms. However, if you are
lucky, the piece with the head may grow a new tail, so you will have one
alive worm and one piece of dead worm.

Some worms have a natural reflex, in which they will eject their tail
when the tail is pulled. For example, when a bird catches the tail end
of a worm, the worm would eject or sever its' tail from the rest of its'
body. Thus, the worm remains alive and safe, while the bird gets only
part of the worm.

Birds see well into the ultra-violet.
Those that are black to us might appear brilliantly coloured to other birds.

Note the difference, Henri? You tossed out a random guess, which is
usually wrong, as though it were a fact. PTP then came back and
corrected your mistake, citing a reference. You then acknowledged that
he knew something without admitting that you had made an error out of
ignorance. Rather than learn from this experience to try to alter the
pattern, you simply repeat it ad infinitum.

If a worm is cut in two at a certain place, both pieces will grow.

Further proof that you are incapable of changing your behavior, even
when given an explicit lesson that would motivate a change.

If you would care to, you can try Googling "will a worm cut in half
grow back?" and survey the first 10 or 30 links to learn something.

On the other hand, if you don't care to do that, you can continue to
simply state things you *think* are true as though you are certain of
them, and proceed merrily in a state of misinformed bliss. There isn't
a word for that kind of behavior, but in your honor, I think I'll coin
one: "ignoranus".

I don't have to make any characterization of Henri. He's good at
demonstrating that all by himself.

Now, there is always someone in the peanut gallery who takes it as a
personal mission to root for the underdog, the underpowered, the
underwitted, the underprepared, the underqualified, the underclassed,
or the underequipped, no matter what. Such a cause has no bearing on
what the contest is about, it's just about the spectacle. If you like
that end of the bleachers, have at it.
