Beyond the Prism of Senses

Optic Channel

Is what we see a real world?

I hope that you don't get tired by reading the introduction about the five-sense physiology since we need to enter the territory of physiology and physics to achieve conclusion. However, I tried to explain the scientific subjects of the book in such a way that it makes these subjects understandable.

Vision is one of the most important and reliable human senses; it forms 50 percent of our beliefs in a way that people believe in whatever this channel perceives, as well as deny whatever they cannot perceive via this sense. It is good to know that most of the ideas and theories related to the world, afterworld, physics, metaphysics, beings, God, angels, etc., are mainly based on the assumption that visual sense is real and perfect. Therefore, most of theoreticians in physics and metaphysics fields have discussed the world and existing universe from this point of view. Ugly and beautiful, light and darkness, colors, social conventions, shadows, the beauty of a flower or a bird, organic and nonorganic —these originate from this sense. However, do these things show reality? Do we see truly and perfectly? Are the things we see real? In order to get under way to know the totality of ourselves, we must become familiar with the mechanism of our optic channel in order to find a way to discover internal and external secrets. How can we assess the validity of our beliefs or others' thoughts if what we see is not trustable? Review your thoughts and beliefs and then say how much of them are based on the signs which are received via optic channel.

The Physiology of Eyes

Optic Channel

Eyes are the main part of the optic channel. Beings are excited by light; eyes picture the world for our perception and connect us to the external world via a restricted spectrum of waves. The light is projected on the retina after being reflected from nonluminous things or eradiation of luminous things; subsequently, a spectral image of objects and the surroundings is formed.

The retina is made of two layers. The first layer, the slimmer one, is called the pigmented layer. This layer is located between the retina and choroid and contains melanocytes that are in charge of the color black. These pigments cause all lights being absorbed by the eye, and it acts as a darkroom. The second layer, which is thicker as it consists of ten other layers, is called the sensitive retina. In this layer, there are two kinds of light-sensitive cells (photoreceptors) which are known as rods and cones. The diameter of cone and rod cells is about 4.5 microns. Cones that are concentrated in the central part of retina are sensitive to intensive light and provide our eyesight during daylight. These cells are in charge of discerning color. The macula is located in the center of the retina, where most of the cones are. Fovea (yellow stain) is a small concavity in the center of the macula which contains most of the cones. The macula is in charge of central vision and distinguishing colors and details. In dimness, our eyesight is sensitive to blue light rather than red light. Generally, red cones consist of 64 percent of the eye's cone cells; 34 percent of cones are green and only 2 percent of them are blue, but blue cones are more sensitive than the other ones. In most parts of the eye, red, green, and blue cones have formed a cluster shape adjacent to each other. However, in the fovea, the number of blue cones is reduced remarkably. There are approximately six millions cones in our retina. Around the central part of retina, there are about 125 million cells, which are called rods. Sensitivity of these cells to the low light makes our vision possible during the nighttime.

The high density of rods around the retina makes peripheral regions more sensitive, with due attention to the slight light variations in the night. Hence, in order to distinguish peripheral movements better, you must indirectly look to the intended place. This is a way that soldiers can identify enemies in the night. Since, in these conditions, an image will be formed around the retina where rod cells are gathered, it increases the power of eyesight for distinguishing variation and peripheral movements. You must also prevent directly looking under the high illumination for seeing aura around the body for it has a little light. There are three kinds of cone cells; each of them will give ultimate response to only one of three main colors (red, green, and blue).

Each type is sensitive to a different range of wavelengths with maximums corresponding to 570 nm (red), 535 nm (green), and 445 nm (blue). In addition, there is a chemical material (rhodopsin) in rods with the ultimate light absorption of 505 nm; rods are composed of a protein and a special kind of vitamin A attached. The function of light-sensitive materials in cones and rods is almost the same. We discuss the function of rhodopsin here.

Rhodopsin is shaped by forming a connection between a kind of vitamin A (11-cis-retinal) and scotopsin (protein). When the light collides with rhodopsin, the retinal zone absorbs the light and a connection between 11-cis-retinal and scotopsin is broken. It makes rhodopsin active, so it decomposes to metarhodopsin. Then 11-cisretinal changes into all-trans-retinal, which is not sensitive to light at all; the transfiguration is accompanied by some...
