The Stars and the Earth: Or Thoughts Upon Space, Time, and Eternity
Excerpt from The Stars and the Earth: Or Thoughts Upon Space, Time, and Eternity
It is a well-known proposition that a luminous body arising at a certain distance from an observer cannot be perceived in the very same instant of time in which it becomes luminous, but that a period of time, although infinitely short, exists whilst the light, our only medium of vision, passes through the space between the object and our eyes.
