Attributing qualities of value to physical things other than themselves and considering those values in decision making are a species first pangs of sentience, the bare minimum step up for life more intelligent than a dirt eater, and one this mostly stupid species of filthy apes is still stumbling over. Other things can have qualitative value without being equated to gods, despite powerless humans obsessive desire for supernatural & superpowerful human-like gods.
A slides ability to freeze and preserve light in a scene into a physical, tactile medium as it appeared striking the emulsion layer in that instant, creates a unique artifact. At any point, as any new light is allowed to pass through it, the image continues through the slide from the original scene as if time had never passed. Not a reflection, not an inversion, not some approximated printed copy at 300dpi, but the actual image made by the light that was arrested in that film plane is now continuing on its path as intended, regardless of the passing of time and space in between. That is a physical, real, tangible non-spiritual connection between the image leaving the original scene and entering your eyeball with the least # of distorting interruptions possible, bringing you the closest you can possibly get to time travel. For lack of a better word, that is the quality unique to slides that provides the impression of a more meaningful connection. …or, “soul”.
