bull's eye

How could they see the target if not for another light particle having bankshot off it from even greater lightyears away and landed in their periphery?

What a misleading comic. The photon is cheating because it’s actually a wave existing everywhere and then just has to decide to collapse in the cow’s eye.

/s

What's wild is how many photons miss. 10E45 photons being emitted per second by a star, and the vast majority of them go out in a direction where there's nothing to hit.

hah, bullseye...almost scrolled past that.

The trip from the perspective of the photon would be instantaneous, if I remember correctly.

from the point of view of the photon, it took zero time

There are only about half a dozen stars twenty light years from here, and not all of them are visible to the naked eye. I wonder if the artist had one in mind.

reminds me of the two headed cow story

"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be..."

Moo god, it's full of stars!
