Can he do interferometry and just have a 3rd but normal eye?
I mean, it’s a sunny day FFS!
Legolas actually vibrates very very quickly and is therefore performing synthetic aperture Interferometry, multiplying the size of his effective optical aperture.
Orland-Legolas doesn’t need science to look cute.
I forgot that was the actor’s name and for a second thought he’d gotten married.
I saw a comic about this once (xkcd, probably?) and going by the scene in the movie, where Legolas has human sized eyes, they deduced that Middle Earth must have an exotic atmosphere
It was a Minute Physics video. Only 2 minutes, and a great watch.
These are the kinds of problems I want our species solving
I could be entirely wrong about this but isn’t it in-universe lore that Elves don’t see the curvature of the world and that’s how they can see so far?
