For long, I wondered why the ebola virus is even active in Africa. The abundance of ultraviolet (sun) light should kill any virus. A lack of ultraviolet sunlight allows for seasonal diseases (eg, influenza). However, my assumptions were wrong: the ebola virus does not travel by air but through bodily fluids (eg, source). Bodily fluids and ultraviolet sunlight hardly...
Indien het (zon-) Licht geen tegenstand ondervindt dan wordt de kleur van het object door ons als Wit gezien (o.a. sneeuw). Bij volledige absorptie van het zonlicht, noemen we de kleur van het object Zwart (o.a. aarde). Tussen Wit en Zwart zitten vele tinten grijs en vele kleuren. Ja, de kleuren zwart en wit komen zeker voor in de natuur. Hoewel groen vaak...
While sitting outside on my balcony, I’m enjoying the sunlight, bird sounds, and the impressive light blue sky with some small white clouds, drifting slowly. Without lifeforms (eg, humans), there would be no appreciation and gratitude of that view. Perhaps, my consideration above explains David Bowie’s chorus lines (see below): [Chorus: David Bowie]Don't you wonder...
My recent blog, Light: from simple to complex consciousness, included an important question: what other functions might Light have ⁉️ Hence, I prepared a new diagram following my usual dimensions: (un)known (un)knowns. I added a new additional dimension: input-output. My diagram below raises - at least - some major questions: if and when Light is...
The article below has changed my recent perspective on Light, consciousness, and simplicity & complexity. I have added two new elements to my recent diagram: the Blueprint of Life and life's universal building blocks. Moreover, I've added red question marks at the very left and right of my diagram (eg, input, output). My diagram suggests a cycle of...
Last Thursday's blog, The void, contained an intriguing view: "more void = more sunlight = less biological complexity = more social complexity = advanced consciousness". Finally, the penny dropped. Please see my diagram on the link between simplicity, Light, complexity, and consciousness: Early 2026, I viewed Light as a means of transport...
