the eye/sun thing....
"This effect is amplified during a solar eclipse" what ******* nonsense.
The damaging effect of looking directly at a solar eclipse exists for a completely different reason:
The overall amount of light reaching the eye is much smaller, causing your pupils to dilate. The light intensity of the solar corona isn't lowered though, causing more light to hit a smaller area. Another issue is when the total eclipse is over, a part of the sun starts showing again (duh) which will be extremely dangerous if you're looking directly at it with your now dilated pupils.


******* "fact" sites

Which, all factors considered, causes the damage to be... AMPLIFIED.

The damage, but not the effect. The effect stays the same.

AMPLIFIED DAMAGE CAUSES A MORE POTENT EFFECT.

LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF EFFECT.

GODDAMNED NORMIE.

Yeah, no.

The "effect" of the sun stays the ******* same. The damage effect it causes on the shrunken pupil is amplified.

If you're going be a smartass, at least be more specific. Yes, the damage effect gets amplified. But the burning effect of the sun does not.

Bravo, you can read.

Still, it's not the effect of the sun that gets amplified.

The effect it causes on the eye is amplified by the smaller pupil.

The problem on hand clearly talks about the effect of the sun itself during a solar eclipse, not what it causes to your eye.

Stare at sun > result is damage.
Argue summore, granate. I can't make it clearer, and I'm done responding. The **** are you doing interjecting yourself into an argument anyway? That's hilarious on a whole other level.

"Interjecting yourself into an argument" You mean responding to your claim that nobody else answered?

And for your information, I barely ever write anything on FJ.
