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.

The Sumerian civilisation used Earth’s orbits around the Sun as a way of calculating time (eg,...
Actually, I could have used a step in between, which would have altered my title into: Fantasy + fiction = Sci-Fi + Science = Technology. Some examples: drones, lasers, and robots. An example of my blog title is the 1984 film The Terminator, rated at #8.1 on IMDb. Today, the main item that is still missing is: time travel. The arrow of time appears to be...
