Over a period of several decades it has been noticed that most astronauts,either orbiting the earth or on trips to the moon, have observed phosphenes orlight flashes (LF) including streaks, spots and clouds of light when their eyesare closed or they are in a darkened cabin. Scientists suspect that twoseparate components of cosmic rays cause these flashes due to directinteraction with the retina. This phenomenon is not noticed on the groundbecause of cosmic ray interaction with the atmosphere. The argument is advancedthat this effect may provide us with a new method of exploring the weakequivalence principle from the standpoint of Einstein's original thoughtexperiment involving human subjects. This can be done, utilizing the retinaonly, as an animate quantum mechanical measuring device or, in conjunction withthe Anomalous Long Term Effects on Astronauts (ALTEA) facility.

Can biophysics tell us something about the weak equivalence principle vis a vis the thought experiment of Einstein involving human subjects?
