    Lol okay you got me. You can see the front and the back of the car.

    …now, where is the bottom of the car in this 2D picture lol

      I think on the level of physics, there might be enough information in the photo to describe what’s under the car actually, but I don’t know enough about photons or physics lol. Bless the day

        What…? you literally cannot see the bottom of the car. It’s a 3d object. You cannot see all sides of the 3d object. You can only see up down left and right.

          Our eyes can also see forwards and backwards so we can perceive 3d I believe, and then 4 d one present moment at a time.

          But, I’m saying it is possible even with something like sonar to make a map of a thing that is on the other side of something else. That’s sound waves but we know that the light information is there to make a map similarly using light, and if we could see that information in real life, we might be able to perceive from the photons captured in this image to have an understanding of what’s under the car
