How does a new hypothesis replace an older explanation of something in the natural world? To understand this let us look at one of the classical example of geocentric theory and heliocentric theory. The geocentric theory states the Earth is at the centre of the solar system and the Sun, Moon, and all the other planets revolve around it. This ancient theory failed to explain the phenomenon like the phases of Moon, solar eclipse and lunar eclipse. The modern heliocentric theory which states that the Sun is at the centre of solar system, and all the planets including the Earth revolve around it. This theory was able to explain all the phenomenons unlike the geocentric theory. Hence the heliocentric theory replaced the geocentric theory.

Light rays passes through the pupil in the eye and activates the neurons in the retina. The light wavers that are from the reflection of the object are transformed into neural impulses or transduction then action potentials are released when electrical charges are sent through the neurons. Excitatory neurotransmitters are supplied when action potential goes to the axon terminal and the thalamus routes the neural message from the retina elsewhere in the brain. Feature detectors organize the visual projection of the object.
