if human eyes see everything upside down but the brain rights it does that affect the laws of gravity. please do not be smart. i am not an airhead. i put this question on a few minutes ago and deleted it because of all the smart elecs who answered.

no it doesn't affect gravity. it's a double reversal, so everything is perceived right side up. hold something in front of your face. then turn it upside down, that's how your eyes see it, flip it around again (notice how it's right side up now?) this is how your brain sees it.
it's all cool, you won't fall off the face of the earth... ;-)

Reversal of image in the eye is not going to affect gravity. The whole world is not upside down. The reversal in the image formed is due to intersection of lines coming from the object, through the lens of the eye. So here's what happens:
Eye - Upside down
Brain - Upside down of upside down image from, right side up.
The law of gravity, on the other hand, has nothing to do with the how light behaves (generally); it is based on totally different concepts independent of anything like 'up' or 'down', since it's based on the mass and the distance between the two bodies in question. In fact, gravity is not only between earth and you, but even you're attracting the earth to yourself (but the effect is very small).
To prove again that light and gravity are independent, astronauts can still see things in space, so there you have proof.
Light (classically) is a wave (like electricity or magnetism), while gravity works on things which have mass.

Sorry, nothing your brain does affects the laws of gravity. I don't really understand your question anyway, but maybe this will help. Simplified, you see in three steps: 1) light is emitted from an object and enters the eyes. 2) The light is refracted through your retina and is flipped upside down. 3) The cones and rods at the back of your eye send electrical signals to your brain, in which the light is reversed (or right-side up) again.

Our vision has nothing to do with affecting the laws of physics. Our brains registering the vision coming in are used to seeing the image upside down and it's a lot easier to flip the image over than it is to try and coordinate your hands and legs with an upside-down world. It is believed that babies actually do see everthing upside down for the first few days.
Processing visual information is a complex task - it takes up a relatively large portion of the brain compared to other senses. This is because your brain performs several tasks to make images 'easier' to see. One, of course, is combining the two images. The other part is handled in the optic part of your brain itself, and part of its job is to make images right-side-up.
Your brain CAN be retrained though. In one psychological study, participants were asked to wear inverting lenses - lenses that invert the image BEFORE they get to your eye, so that when your eye inverts it, it's right-side-up. At first, everything appeared upside-down to the participants. But, after a few days, people began to report that everything appeared right-side-up! As a second part of the study, the people were asked to take the glasses off. Because they were now used to the lenses, their NORMAL vision appeared upside-down!! Within a day, though, their vision returned to normal. The reason you don't see everything upside-down, then, is simply because it's easier to think about right-side-up!

being nice what would one have to do with the other...the fact that the brain corrects vision....has no effect on gravity it would just make your vision right sid up instead of veiwing everything as if you were standing on your head.

nothing to do with the gravity.
a view has no weight.
sorry if i`m being smart.

This is the first time I have heard of this, so I cannot answer your question. Perhaps and eye doctor would know?

No of course not thats like saying does rain fall up and the eyes correct it,
Quick!!!!

nope! it doesn't affect gravity or any other else.. its actually a double effect.. its like reversing two times.. can't explain any further.. T.T

it doesn't have anything to do with law of gravity
