[@FAMOUS4EVER3000]

I think that's why you see everything upside down when you're first born. I heard that somewhere but it could be wrong. Makes me wonder if there's any mental disorder where your brain never corrects it so you always see everything upside down

[@Perforated611]

HOW the brain does it is the mysterious part, to this day we don't know if it's a physical thing the brain does, meaning it's flipping the image by reversing neurons and/or synapsis, kind of like swapping wires around in a circuit so that positive is negative and negative is positive, or if it's a subconscious mental function, that psychologically we just get used to seeing things flipped. It's not just upside down either, images are flipped left to right as well (Michael used a 2D image to show this process, making it difficult to tell that both horizontal and vertical images are flipped, but it makes sense).

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Good news! Selenite is water soluble, so even if it does wind up all over the place and in your lungs, it'll eventually just pass through you. Still, I wouldn't recommend huffing fluffy rocks. Also, it was probably breaking down from ambient humidity.

[@sakasa_]

Thank goodness. Thank you, sir.

[@darienhouse8625]

It’s just salt isn’t it

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Nah, it's gypsum that grew up to be really fancy. It'll certainly linger for a while, since it isn't quite that soluble, but it's not going to stick around forever like some other rocks that go airborne. (If that's setting off alarm bells for any drywall installers, that stuff's mainly spooky because of the silica commonly used alongside gypsum.)

[@zerokidd21]

Selenite a form of gypsum is actually not healthy to ingest as the particulates are not fine enough to "pass through your body" how ever diatacious (probably not spelled right) earth is gypsum that has been sifted/filtered so that the particulates are fine enough to be ingested by humans. Be sure to get the one labeled for human consumption as both are sold.

Hey DONGers... Mineral Resources Engineer here. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) Nothing bad can happen if you just lick some selenite, or any other gypsum-like material. You should avoid inhaling it in large quantities though. Gypsum (and thus Selenite) is ranked #2 in MOHS scale of hardness, making it one of the most soft/brittle minerals. FYI, the hardest is of course, the Diamond, which is ranked #10.

@@CKOD Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

@@jamma003 all selenite crystals have the same crystal structure, however the purity is not standard. You may find a mineral who is more opaque than semi transparent. Also you have to be sure to find a properly cut mineral along the crystal structure (or as Michael says, the "fibers").

Michael's the kind of person to look at a block of Selenite and go "is anyone gonna eat that" and not wait for an answer

[@kivikallo4313]

with selenite eyes I wouldn't recommend looking at the stars.

[@toomanygrogs]

This is actually a really valid point. If nothing got smaller as it got further away, the night sky would be an absolute monstrosity of enormous stars and galaxies. Would it look cool? Maybe. Would it look scary? Definitely possible.

[@rapmastac1362]

What about Ocean Eyes?

@@toomanygrogs wouldn't you only see a few centimeters of a star or most likely nothing at all, because stars are that far apart.

[@theshamanite]

I think those extraterrestrials would only see the world in 2D. If everything comes to your eye all at once, you can't see depth.

[@Undy1]

True, but that type of vision would be ridiculously impractical - with it you could only see objects that were smaller than your eye since the image on the retina is always the exact size as the object it's looking at. For example if you wanted to see a whole door that's in front of you, you would need to have an eye as big or bigger than that door. Though it would not matter how far the door would actually be from you - it would always appear to be exactly the same. Also if anyone is curious how it would look like to see like this it's actually very common in 3d graphics: -in video games that use isometric projection - they were very popular once, now mostly indie titles use it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection -any 3D software like Blender, 3ds Max, Maya etc will have a viewport that can display the scene in what's called orthographic projection - a type of parallel projection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection And here's a screenshot from Blender showcasing perspective vs orthographic projection: easyblend.org/html/_images/3dperspective.jpg

[@eltimbalino]

If you had two eyes, each with only parallel light hitting each retina, and the eyes had any distance between them, but were pointed at the same object, the brain could perceive 3D. This is because the eyes would see two slightly different images.
