If you had x-ray vision, but closed your eyes, could you still see?

Short answer: yes\n\nRational:\n\nI seem to remember either a Superman episode or a Smallville where Clark Kent had his eye closed and was able to see what  was going on.

Close my eyes. lol. :) duh! :)

Yes, it leads to blindness.  I can only see out of one eye now due to excessive consumption during my youth.  If only Yahoo Answers had existed then!

No. Electromagnetic waves still exist, even when your eyes are shut.

No! Because even if you can look around the world, when it ends up to your back-side, you won't be able to see your back.

nope. You would not see anything remotely close to light. It would be completely void of any reflection and the particles that make up it's mass would disintegrate along with you. You only see what you see because of the matter's string particles reflection of light. (You'd be dead to everyone)

NO.  you can see the movie but not the 3D effect - if you look through the glasses with only one eye it will look flat

Not if you are a normal, healthy person. Some people do have nerve and muscle problems, and are either unable to open their eyes normally, or to close them when they sleep. These people must use special drops in their eyes to keep their eyes lubricated so they are not damaged by drying out. But it can not be done on a voluntary basis.

closing your eyes limits the light that can come through them and refracts the light. if you poke a tiny hole in a piece of paper and look through it, you get the same result. or, just get glasses.

No!  If you look at the sun for too long you will go blind!

Possibly (you seem to be referring ti both night vision and infra-red or heat vision), however infra-red can see through wall, so if your windows are opaque they can still see you through the walls, not to mention DARPA is working on a device that detects heartbeats. Which means they probably already have it and could use two of them to triangulate a sniper shot to hit a heart through a wall.\nWell, sleep tight.

In fact, the optic nerves would still likely function, and the blood on theeyeball woudl *not* block vision-only perhaps make it pinkish.  THe strain on the optic nerve might cause severe pain and/or light flashes.\nAssuming that the eyes worked perfectly (which anyway is fairly likely), they would see an process whatever they were looking at-so yes, your eyes would see each other, andyour brain would process that as it would normall-If you have ever looked through a small hole with just one eye-say, a microscope, then your eyes were getting completely different views...you can think of many times when your eyes were focused on totally different things, and yet your brain didn't get scrambled or confused...it went with the view that *you* were interested in- The brain will make dominant the view from the eye that you are focused on-so, if you are looking through a microscope, you see (with the micro eye) a slide of a leaf-but with the other eye you see the side of the microscope and the table- YOur brain brings the leaf side to the top, and enhances it over the other, because it is what you are interested in.  If you took your eyes out and faced them to each other, you would get two views of eyeballs-your brain wouldnt scramble or freak, it would just switch dominant views based on you attention at that second.\n\nAnd I absolutely guarantee the optic nerve would NOT seperate from the eye itself- I've had to dissect these before and they are attached extremely well- I have also had the misfortune of being with a guy who had the orbit of his eye broken, and his eyeball bulged out-he could see with it fine, though it hurt horribly, and once the eye was put back in , there was no permanent damage

X-ray vision would be cool for the obvious reasons.

my ex did...he said he more so trained them. he stopped wearing his glasses little by little and started purposly focusing on objects until they became clearer. my eye sight is too bad to attempt that, it would take too long and id miss too much lol good luck though :)

According to Einsteinian theory, yes, you would see the light.  Einstein postulates that the speed of light is relative to the viewer.  If you were travelling at the speed of light and turned on a flashlight, the light traveling out of the flash light would be traveling away from you at the speed of light relative to you.

Nope.  Light would not reflect off you (hence, invisibility), nor would you absorb light (hence, casting a shadow).\n\nI know that Britain and America have been working on invisibility for years, something kinda like the cloaks the Harry Potter movies use (except thicker).  They are currently working to bend light so it travels around the object with the invisibility shield.  The light will neither reflect nor will it be absorbed.  Therefore, no sight and no shadow.  Wouldn't that be awesome to see!

As long as the optical nerve wasn't severed, and your retina still worked, you'd be able to.
