Apart from that being very inconvenient, it's also very strange in my o= pinion. In

how do you know that the apple is falling if you only see the apple but not= the event? Events are just objects in some relation to each other, and tha= t arrangement of objects reflects light like any other thing. You can see a= car moving by it reflecting light to you from different points on its way,= or an apple falling.

I believe that it makes sense to {catlu} events, but not to {viska} them.
