      Yes, I understand the visible light spectrum. My point is that there are portions of the spectrum that are invisible to the unassisted human eye, and there are portions of that which are detrimental to our health.

        I missed the rule that said it needed to be with an unassisted human eye. Even in the post it’s not really “unassisted” since they had to cool it to -218.

        That’s how science works, you use tools and methods to get to “see” what you can’t with your measly human body.

          What rule? I was proposing an alternate response to the initial meme about “you can’t see oxygen/god”.

          Instead of moving the goal posts to make oxygen visible by changing it’s state, why not provide an example of a similarly “invisible” thing that can have profound effects on a person’s ability to be not dead?

            Right that makes sense my bad! But still I think it’s fine to use tools or whatever you prove things, but I now see what you mean about the point of the original deep™ quote.
