How could they see the target if not for another light particle having bankshot off it from even greater lightyears away and landed in their periphery?

What a misleading comic. The photon is cheating because it’s actually a wave existing everywhere and then just has to decide to collapse in the cow’s eye.

What's wild is how many photons miss. 10E45 photons being emitted per second by a star, and the vast majority of them go out in a direction where there's nothing to hit.
