Been looking into pinhole cameras and camera obscura. (This vid specifically helped me understand)
Viewing stuff through a pin hole... You still see a lot, if it's far away. It's the size of the back wall that it is projected onto that is what limits your view, cuts off the borders... makes the angles light can travel for you to see a slimmer range...
"An ignorant god sees a sliver of our universe through a pinhole and thinks it understands all that is and all that will be"
It didn't have the back wall to see any stars in the behind the things it did see. Or it has myopia, and the blur of those far away stars that must be in its view might as well be nothing to it.
(I know it's a metaphor and not to be taken literally but like. Researching light and seeing is just fun and stuff. Just learning. Is fun. Don't take this too seriously.)
