This was an absolutely fascinating read...beautifully written and thoroughly explained!
I especially appreciated how such a complex biological system was broken down into an elegant, intuitive story.
The comparison between rods and cones, and the idea that vision is engineered to balance sharpness and sensitivity, gave me a whole new appreciation for what’s happening behind the scenes every time I open my eyes.
The question at the end tied it all together so cleverly. I’ll definitely think differently now when I glance at stars in the night sky...or rather, when I don’t look directly at them!
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment, Anshulika. It really made my day! I am so glad the ideas came through clearly and sparked that sense of wonder. That is exactly what I hope for with every post I write. And I love that last line. What a lovely thing to say.
Wow, this was such an amazing read... I need time to digest it but I really enjoy learning how things work.
