No. Non-polarized light is a mixture of light waves which oscillate in all possible planes. When it enters a scattering medium these waves will be subject to being scattered. Some light waves will travel further through the medium before they are scattered. in the medium is not a strong scatterer, and the total distance traveled through the medium is short enough, much of the light will make it through without being scattered. If it is a strong scatterer, or the light must travel an extended distance through it, less of the light will make it straight through and more scattered along the way. Any light wave scattered will scatter in a direction that is on a plane that is at a right angle to the plane that the electric field is oscillating in. Since non-polarized light contains waves that are oscillating in all possible planes, you will end up with light waves being scattered in all directions. When you polarize light by passing it through a filter, you are only letting light waves through that oscillate in a limited direction. When this light enters a scattering medium, just like above, it is subject to being scattered. And like above, some waves will travel further before being scattered. But since the direction in which the light waves are oscillating is restricted, so is the directions in which the light waves will be scattered. This is what the video is demonstrating.

This might help: Like Swansont is suggesting need to consider the convex lens and cornea of the eye. If you have a magnifying glass or a farsighted friend, you can see the image flip for yourself.

Maybe what what we see is how things look from across the void, between the cobwebby areas where expansion is happening, but not how things actually are if we were closer to them. As Airbrush says, within gravitationally bound areas everything is as we expect.

Space is not expanding here. It only expands between superclusters, where dark energy overcomes gravity. If viewing of distant images was rendered impossible, then obviously we could not see with the precision we do. Since we can see with clarity to the edge of the observable universe, even the structure of newborn galaxies over 13 billion years old. That means such blurring is not happening.

But there is something wrong with asking if an observer would notice a change in the light "as it approaches". While the light is approaching the observer he cannot yet observe it! If "as it approaches" refers to approaching the black hole, again, the observer won't notice any "change", he only sees the light at one instant.

Do you have any concept of how many times in any given day, the value of pi is used? This 0.1% difference would result in so many things going wrong. We're talking about: satellites falling out of orbit, GPS not working correctly, every single Fast Fourier Transform algorithm returning wrong results, every single calculation of the trig functions returning wrong results. How can all these be wrong and yet seem to be working so well?

This idea has been proposed before but will take time to dig up the papers. Particularly since it never gained much credence to begin with. Give me time to see if I can up the papers

Does anyone have any evidence to prove that this is possible please provide real evidence for either side, because just simply bashing the idea is just as barbaric as supporting something with no logic evidence either so please don't just shit talk without any legitimate evidance to back it up or you're be is going to get called out. I am interested if it is possible that gold clusters can be broken down and held in a monoatomic state like some gasses. I've heard about this Orbitally rearranged monoatomic evidence theory for a while and I have no reason to either support nor completely bash it sense I have not found one legit article to either prove or disprove the existence of this theoretical atomic state.
