Rendered Frame Theory: Interactive Cosmology Lab
What you're looking at
Speed of Sight (SoS) compares:
- Physical delay — how long light actually takes to reach you
- Perceptual delay — your brain’s render cycle (milliseconds)
Even if light left a galaxy millions of years ago, your perceptual update time stays tiny.
You never “see the past” — you see a rendered present.
