    Not only that, but electricity travels through nerves at a finite speed (that is less than light speed), and brain spends non-zero amount of time to piece together the reality you perceive from all of your senses. So yeah, there’s always a delay in your perception and IIRC there even are experiments that prove that

      This is the more salient point. Light is so much faster than our brains ability to communicate with itself

      It’s even more strange! According to one paper, our brains are averaging the last 15 seconds of visual information!
