Abstract

500 years of physics and 500,000 physicists and one mistake: We do not see objects but we see Images. With I = image and O = object...

• I = I
• I = O + (I - O)
• I/O = O/O + (I - O)/O
• (I/O) = 1 + [(I - O)/O]
• (I/O) q = q + [(I - O)/O] q
• Quantum = classical + relativistic
• Visual = classical + visual effects

As an application, see how 500 years of physics and 500,000 physicists made the same mistake using Mercury's motion around the sun, including...
