Your eyes can detect a single photon
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Your vision is sensitive enough to operate on a literal quantum level. In conditions of absolute, pitch-black darkness, researchers have proven that the rod cells in the human retina can successfully detect a single solitary photon—the smallest possible indivisible particle of light. Our brains generally filter this out to prevent us from seeing constant visual noise.
One discovery leads to another.
