Part 5/13:
Differences in Lighting and Shadows
A major argument against the underwater theory revolves around lighting discrepancies. Underwater, light refracts and creates shimmering effects, with diffuse shadows and uneven illumination. In contrast, footage from the ISS shows sharp, well-defined shadows even when objects are far apart, which would be impossible underwater due to the scattering of light. Additionally, the quality of lighting in space footage indicates a distant and consistent light source—namely the Sun—rather than artificial or underwater lighting.
