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

mi viska lo plise noi farlu

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 that 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.
