  • Newton’s Gravimeter of Emotive Discourse

    You may be familiar with Isaac Newton from such inventions as calculus and the law of universal gravitation. What you may not know is that he was also an avid “chymist,” or alchemist. In fact, Newton actually wrote roughly a million words about alchemy and his experiments with it — as Indiana University science historian…

  • What’s a Color?

     What is color? It seems like a simple question at first, but when you think about it, the reality of what we’re seeing is a pretty complex situation. Our human eyes sift through a small piece of the vast electromagnetic spectrum and translate it into every color of the rainbow. But there are other animals…

  • Applying Color to the Real World

    Spectra are complex because each spectrum holds a wide variety of information. For instance, there are many different mechanisms by which an object, like a star, can produce light – or using the technical term for light, electromagnetic radiation. Each of these mechanisms has a characteristic spectrum. Let’s look at a spectrum and examine each…

  • Colour and Sound

    Sounds and colors are “metered measures?” It is something we have designed in order to account for communication of certain facts? While I present some quotations here for consideration, it is also in the quest to understand what illusion and reality can mean when not all parts of the consensus can agree on what constitute…

  • Mirror Neurons

    Neuroscientific evidence suggests that one basic entry point into understanding others’ goals and feelings is the process of actively simulating in our own brain the actions we observe in others. This involves the firing of neurons that would be activated were we actually performing an action, although we are only observing it in someone else.…

  • Shifting the Way in Which We See

    “Where in this day and age, does one go to ask the questions? Where does one go to find like “minded” people who are also seeking the answers?”What If We Could Ask The Big Questions? Ask yourself could you have been shifted from the way you have always looked at the world…..is the world different…

  • Understanding a Perspective About Color of Gravity

    If we can help ourselves see the world in “new ways” why not allow ourselves such freedoms? See how it extends our views on what we have always “thought about” moves us beyond “the way” in which we have measured all things? To “hear” the data we can map physical properties (The Data) to audible…

  • The Synapse of the Wondering Mind

    Click here for Penrose’s Seminar While trying to organize my thoughts about the title of this blog entry, it becomes apparent to me that the potential of neurological transposition of electrical pulses is part of the function of the physical system in order to operate, while I am thinking something much different. It is the…

  • Colour of Gravity 3

    Colour measurement We know that colour is a psychophysical experience of an observer which changes from observer to observer and is therefore impossible to replicate absolutely. In order to quantify colour in meaningful terms we must be able to measure or represent the three attributes that together give a model of colour perception. i.e. light,…

  • The Colour of Gravity

    I am not sure how this post is to unfold, yet in my mind different exercises were unfolding as to how I should explain it. Can I come from an artist’s perspective I wondered? Say “by chance” anything that seems relevant here in writing, and any relation to science “is” metaphorical by nature? Yellow, Red,…
