Light Flicker
Why flashing light appears when viewed from afar?
I do not understand how the light should appear to flash when the light source is very very very very far x 1.00000, photons do not arrive one after another at the same distance and speed behind each other?
I think you're right, I said to often than if there was nothing between you and the source of light is there would be no flicker. Normally this is not the case here on earth, we have an atmosphere of air, gas water vapor, dust particles, etc. This makes it a flicker, wavy observation. The following is the explanation given by NASA. The star of the twinkling caused by movements of Earth's atmosphere. Starlight enters the atmosphere lightning. The flickering is due to air movements are constantly changing the path of light as it enters air. You can see a similar effect if you are in a pool and look down. In unless the water is almost completely immobile, the feet seem to move and change its shape. This wink "occurs because the moving water are constantly changing the path of light rays traveling from the feet of his eyes. This explanation has been questioned and There is another theory that due to the distance actual deficiencies in the expansion of photon flux of the star. This interesting theory is explained on the site http://milesmathis.com/twink.html
