"Researcher in Astronomy:" ... "When you stand on the beach and look into the distance, everything you see is in the visible distance. In the blurred distance, you cannot see a thing.

The eye, as I have said, no doctor has succeeded in understanding how the eye works." *sound of Lynch’s head exploding*
