We zien sterren aan de "hemel" en soms ook manen en planeten indien het zonlicht daarop weerkaatst. Daar tussenin lijkt niets te zijn. In de Griekse Oudheid dacht men nog dat ether het vijfde element was - naast aarde, lucht, vuur, en water. Wat die "leegte" dan wel is, dat blijft een vraag.

Between (brackets) are the Greek names for those types of Love. However, there are - at least - 9 types of Love; see my diagram below. Some of my more recent blogs relate to my diagram above, being: 2020:...

Even sleep might be related. “The exact nature of visible light is a mystery that has puzzled humans for centuries, with many scientists and philosophers striving to answer...
Two weeks ago, a complex diagram was emerging in my mind about consciousness, dimensions (eg, spacetime), and (un)known (un)knowns. I decided working on some of its elements first. Please see last week's blogs. Last Wednesday, I finally had a breakthrough. The result is stated below. One of my main questions above, is the seeming impossibility of a multiverse in...
