The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time.
additional amazing ask fact love people readers until wait
Some people ask why we don't just wait until we have the whole story before posting. The fact is that we sometimes can't get to the end story without going through this process...
