Some worms are genetically predisposed to die before reaching old age, which appears to benefit the colony by reducing food demand, finds a new study. (1)
Dying.
For the sake of others.
Why don’t you die?
Do you wish to live?
Unknown darkness.
Dictating light.
Unknown terror.
Dictating pleasure.
Petty humans.
Living.
For the sake of others…
It’s almost impossible to imagine biology without individuals — individual organisms, individual cells, and individual genes, for example. But what about a worker ant that never reproduces, and could never survive apart from the colony? Are the trillions of microorganisms in our microbiomes, which vastly outnumber our human cells, part of our individuality?
The authors of a work published in the journal Theory in Biosciences suggest that one way to solve the puzzle comes from information theory. Instead of focusing on anatomical traits, David Krakauer, Nils Bertschinger, Eckehard Olbrich, Jessica Flack, and Nihat Ay suggest that the individual must be seen as a verb: what processes produce distinct identity? The authors’ information theory of individuality (or ITI) indicate that individuality relates to a blend of self-regulation and environmental influence. (1)
Processing information.
Processing food.
Processing data.
Processing others.
We are all about processing.
And yet at the end, we end up being processed.
And this is what defines us.
That we are part of everything.
And we know it.
And we accept it.
And even though we may process information.
We choose not to.
And even though we could be apart from God.
We chose to return to Him…
And be able to process everything.
To know it all.
To control our self.
To live. To die.
To be human once more…
The current laws of physics do not explain why matter persists over antimatter. Scientists believe equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created at the beginning of the universe, but this would mean they should have wiped each other out, annihilating the universe as it began.
Instead, physicists suggest there must be differences in the way matter and antimatter behave that explain why matter persisted and now dominates the universe. Now, an international team of researchers, have found the strongest evidence yet that neutrinos and antineutrinos behave differently, and therefore may not wipe each other out. (1)
Opposites.
Wiping each one out.
With them, nothing can be.
Without them. Everything is.
But everything means nothing.
And nothing entails everything.
Everything contains nothing.
And within nothing…
Everything is.
Look at that star.
You are not blinded by its brightness.
But by the darkness it hides behind…
Scientists have borrowed a technique from applied mathematics to rapidly predict the behavior of fusion plasma at a much-reduced computational cost. (1)
Trying to compute things.
But we will never do that.
Unless we use the whole universe.
And have it standing still.
Just computing things.
We will then know it all.
And right then it will be obvious.
That the only reason we know it all…
Is because we destroyed everything…
A world-famous psychological experiment used to help explain the brain’s understanding of the body, as well as scores of clinical disorders, has been dismissed as not fit-for-purpose in a new academic paper from the University of Sussex.
The Rubber Hand Illusion, where synchronous brush strokes on a participant’s concealed hand and a visible fake hand can give the impression of illusory sensations of touch and of ownership of the fake hand, has been cited in thousands of articles. Yet, in a new research paper Dr Peter Lush, demonstrates that the control conditions typically used in the experiment do not do they job they need to do. (1)
Suggestion effect.
Hypnosis.
We are hypnotized by reality.
And we fail to see.
That what we admire as real.
Is an illusion.
Sleepy people.
Believing in science.
Science which has a way to putting people to sleep.
And as Wittgenstein said, we need to wake up again.
To admire the wanders…
And realize that we are not the ones hypnotized.
But we are the ones who hypnotized the world!
The moon will rise now. And you will see clearer. That the most obscure question you ever had was so simple.
Is it night?
Or is it day?
