Yeah... you keep SAYING THAT.... but none of these
scientific prima donna's seem to be eager to
take issue with this SIMPLE PROOF of the

It's a well known result, first discovered by Riedel in 1966
and confirmed by thousands of researchers since. See for
instance: http://www.v-weiss.de/lehrl-full.html
where on page 26 we find:

"Riedel (1966) demonstrated that the moment shortens
as children mature. By this method, which is explained
in the next section, he investigated children from 7 years
(10 frames/s) onward to 15 years (15 frames/s).
This latter value is consistent with those of average
adults (Lehrl and Fischer, 1988)."

WRONG.
It demonstrates that the "visual perception" of an adult
is 133% faster than a 7 yr old kid, hence: the kid is missing
1/3 of what an adult can see. Since "what the average
adult can see" is DE FACTO the "definition of reality",
then: "1/3 of reality is INVISIBLE to the kid".
It does not take rocket science to reach this
conclusion.... a result by the way which is well known
to every parent who has to mind and protect children!

Apparently you have just noticed that baseball stars
are worshipped as "gods" in this country, and that
Baseball is practically a Religion?
Now you know "why"!

[Hammond]
No... max adult vision never exceeds 18 fps, which
is way, way, below 30 or 24 fps.
30 cps is known as the "critical flicker fusion frequency"
and is much, much higher than the "critical picture fusion
frequency" which is around 16 fps in the average adult.
Research has shown that this is BECAUSE "picture
fusion frequency" is related to INTELLIGENCE whereas
simple "flicker fusion" is NOT. This parallels simple
"refex reaction speed" which is also NOT correlated with
intelligence, while "decision speed" IS highly correlated
to intelligence.
Obviously, since BOTH intelligence and picture fusion
frequency increase linearly with age (under 18) they are
highly correlated.. and of course both phenomena are
caused by the increasing BRAIN GROWTH of the child.

It's remarkable how nutters can't avoid giving themselves away by the
misuse of capitalisation. In letters to newspapers they find themselves
unable to avoid the use of green ink.

I think that it is a good thing that we are protected from reading the
shite by this revelatory mechanism. I wonder a little how it has come to
be.

Any suggestions?

But they have and I have. It's just you don't want to listen.

You've confused sensory perception with cognative perception.

The rest of you quoted post I've covered several times and summed up
above.

Congrats. You found a paper that looks almost as kooky as your own
ideas.

Again, assuming the above about frame rate is true, the kid is only
missing what comes in at between the equivalent of 10 and 15 fps.
Everyone can see what's going on at slow speeds, nobody can see what
happens at high speeds. And all this is irrelevant (and silly) anyway.
Why not go by spectra? I can't "see" ultraviolet, but a honeybee can.
A bee can see patterns in flowers that are plain white to us. So what?
We can detect such with equipment. Same with high speed. I've seen cool
photographs of a bullet fired through 3 balloons. The balloons are in
various degrees of popping and the bullet is caught in flight. So what?
Can an inanimate object (camera) be sooo close to being God? Silly!

>to every parent who has to mind and protect children!

As a parent, I can see that a small child can visualize fine - it is
interesting and amazing to watch a small mind grow. I see no speed
correlation, however.

>> So baseball players are closer to God than ordinary folk?

>Did you just notice that?

Huh? Many of those guys are real jerks. They have awesome physical
abilities but I'd hardly classify them as godlike.

You missed my point, obviously.

Make up your mind. Can Barry Bonds read "Wilson" on a pitched fastball or
is he limited to about 18 fps? Do you know anything about cameras? What
shutter speed would you need to be able to read "Wilson" on a photograph
of a baseball that crosses the plate at a leisurely 60 mph? (hint: 60 mph
is 88 feet per second)

George - I only have your word you took a degree - and that's not much
good. You probably have problems passing wind these days.

I'm looking for the rest of your CV. The thing about CVs is they
include which jobs you've done. My CV starts with my degree (I think
I've cut it down to two lines now) then goes on for a page or so with
jobs I've done and who I worked for. I can't post my CV here as it's a
personal matter and this is an impersonal debate.

I'm not a scientists or a physicist - but then neither are you. Your CV
stops short of any professional life - the point of a CV really. It
also stops before I was born! So what have you done for the last 35
years or so apart from publish nonsense here there and everywhere?
