I have this relatively insane theory...

[sathor]

This is kindof a whacked out, scfi, solipsist, stupid theory, but nonetheless it kindof intrigued me enough when i thought of it to finish it...

For those of us who think we look nothing like we do in reality in pictures...
If I remember correctly, in quantum theory, just observing a particle in existence can change how it acts.

Now, imagine this. A picture is like a totally different object. It is not sentient, therefore has no premeditated thought patterns, no real opinions to speak of, it is totally neutral.

So, when 'it' observes a person, it may just catch the totally objective viewable particles that exist in said person.

But yeah. It is somewhat insane :)
