You know how you can see glass and see water?

Even when a substance is transparent there are tricks we use to see it. But there is no need to see air. So we ignore it.

I think if we lived in the water we would stop being aware of seeing the water blocking our vision.

its the density of glass and water that makes it visible and air not visible unless its hot while being transparent not some trick of the brain

I am willing to admit that I do not know how much primate vision can be refined.

However, you are claiming to know that it could not be refined enough to see air.

Eyes are just exposed nerves stimulated by photons, which pass through air effectively unimpeded

No, but it did adapt to not use random capitalization. For most people anyway.

You need to read capitalization rules. Problem solved.

Words like "the" only get capitalized when

Someone does not know any better
When it is the first word in the subject title
When it is done for emphasize as in "The Pooh"

We don't see it because we don't need to see it. It's just there, and seeing it would just provide visual clutter and we couldn't see anything else.

You would have to adapt to see air, not to not see it. We had to adapt eyes.

It's not because of some trick of the mind, it's just that the index of refraction of air is very nearly 1. That means the angle of refraction of light is very close to the angle of incidence. If air isn't bending or reflecting much light, then you're not going to be able to see it.

For comparison, water's index of refraction is 33% higher than air's, and glass has an index about 50% higher.

Dude, are you seriously acting like this over capitalization?

I know you wont answer, but is this an act? I have to ask because at this point I dont even know when someone is trolling or if theyre actually whacked out of their mind.

This. I see glass when its a cup but when I wear glasses I get used to them and my brain stops noticing the glass between my eyes and the world. Your brain gets used to it and corrects.

I don't think that's really the case either. Due to the way they're designed, you don't really see your glasses lenses at all when they're on. They're carefully tuned to be that way
