perhaps a simplified explanation is needed. this is your eye without a brain to flip it over.

yeah U R right ..
that "Ibn Al-Haitham" who discovered that ...and built same room ... he built what called in Arabic "Al Qumrah" القمرة
which slanged to "Camera", and it means a wholed-dark small room
and his idea was simple ,but great ...

This used to happen to one of our rooms when the sun was at a certain height and the blinds partly open - rather a shock the first time I saw it.
Thanks to earlier commenter re. science in the ancient Muslim world. That beautiful architecture didn't happen without scientific foundations.

I don't think you're the only one..
It's totally real and it's related to physics if you have ever studied that.
And that phenomenon is the basic idea of how camera (lenses) actually work.
The one who discovered this was an Arabian Muslim called "Ibn al-Haytham", who lived from 965 to 1039. He had wrote this on a book called "Book of Optics" and from that book many discoveries were 'leached' or been used by scientists after him such as 'Newton'.
Yeah, reading is all what we need..
