• Life Study, Apart from the Institutions

    It is obvious that there is little regard for anything that I have to say in regard to the emotive consequences of developing the EQ instead of the IQ?:) My theoretical idea about colour of gravity, as a measure of the qualities the emotive content, as we move beyond the body home. Emotional Intelligence (EI),…

  • In today’s Media, Has the Soul taken a Hiatus

    “Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being…

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    In a nutshell, what Karim showed was that each time a memory is used, it has to be restored as a new memory in order to be accessible later. The old memory is either not there or is inaccessible. In short, your memory about something is only as good as your last memory about it.…

  • Back to Normal?

    Hardly. It’s been some months since I had been using my own computer. Building our new home, we had to make some adjustments. One of these being, not having our computer setup. We are quite pleased with the work that has been done doing the construction with my son and myself. Least I forget, the…

  • Bee Movie and Science Today

    Bee of Backreaction was highlighting the Dimensional perspective of the way we are going to see Dream Works animation developing new movies. See “DreamWorks goes Extra Dimensional.“ I thought it important that I reveal the coincidence of the story I have here in this blog about the Bee people. I wonder how the script arose…

  • It’s a Penquin?

    The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Thus General Relativity may be viewed as a prediction of string theory!…

  • The Mind Field

    Lee Smolin: Height is proportional to the number of things the theory gets right. Since we don’t have a convincing case for the right theory yet, that is a high peak somewhere off in the distance. The existing approaches are hills of various heights that may or may not be connected, across some ridges and…

  • Emotion and Reason Balanced: The Mind’s Consequence?

    For example, in 1704 Sir Isaac Newton struggled to devise mathematical formulas to equate the vibrational frequency of sound waves with a corresponding wavelength of light. He failed to find his hoped-for translation algorithm, but the idea of correspondence took root, and the first practical application of it appears to be the clavecin oculaire, an…

  • Science’s Responsibility While Investigating Consciousness?

    Our attempt to justify our beliefs logically by giving reasons results in the “regress of reasons.” Since any reason can be further challenged, the regress of reasons threatens to be an infinite regress. However, since this is impossible, there must be reasons for which there do not need to be further reasons: reasons which do…

  • Democritus had Passion and Heat?

    It seems “humour” is pervading the internet today, so I thought I would add my take. Democritus Laughing, by Hendrick ter Brugghen, 1628, in Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam According to legend, Democritus was supposed to be mad because he laughed at everything, and so he was sent to Hippocrates to be cured. Hippocrates pointed out that he…

  • Hippies, Rock Bands, and Woodstock

    There is a reason for this article. Bee was kind to point to this article, ““Artist on LSD” for consideration. 2 hours 45 minutes after first dose. Patient tries to climb into activity box, and is generally agitated – responds slowly to the suggestion he might like to draw some more. He has become largely…
