Maybe some places on Earth, it has already been 2024, others have not been yet. Anyway, let me send this message on WordPress just slightly earlier than the start of 2024 in my time.
Wars are still there, environmental issues persist, anything that makes our civilization unsophisticated loams around, but at least I can be positive by reading through those blogs in this small cyberworld.
My personal life in 2023 was not so glorious but rather somehow of clusters of lessons. I must say thank you for all the blogs that gave me opportunities to think about things in a positive and creative way.
And I look forward to reading everyone’s blogs in 2024.
Debussy’s rêverie, Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata & Für Elise and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (Jazz Piano), I like their melody lines.
I have been long thinking of why I can identify those quite impressive and beautiful or “cool” melody lines. A melody is composed of multiple notes sequenced in a specific rhythm (length) to each. If I hear some of the notes arranged in a different rhythm, the melody will never be the one I can identify. Or if those notes are all changed to different pitch yet with the same length, then again, the melody will be different.
Maybe, the first note still reverberates in one’s consciousness or simply in one’s memory when the second has started ringing. Whenever a note starts ringing, relation between past notes crystalizes, a relation between fading past and emerging present that gives one an identification of the specific melody.
I just expressed it with a word “reverberates”. But that may not precisely convey what I am feeling with the mystery of melody.
Imagine hitting the piano keyboard of the first note and then 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, successively until the final note. You may identify or say, gain the slight impression of the specific scale if not being a well-trained musician. Then, the next is G major scale. As done with E minor, imagine doing the same practice.
The impression you have will be different from that of E minor although there are some notes that are the same from each other. Therefore, the relation between notes in a single scale might matter.
The first note then the second and the third follows, when you hit the 7th one, in your consciousness, all the past notes are still affecting the 7th in a degree and superimposing something over the 7th note that has just been heard thereby, 7th becomes something unique, as one of the notes in a specific scale.
OK then, what is the relation with physics? Yes, my crazy illusion says; the quantum particle with 4 dimensional theory of Einstein, 4 dimensional means 3 dimensions of space plus 1 time axis, might be like music notes. Because of time axis as one of 4 dimensions, any particle, its present appearance is affected by its pasts. So, I can’t help stopping an illusion that the time is successive single time points like clock pulse of digital system. (Oh sorry, this is a kind of mischievous.)
Why major and minor?
Major scales or chords express some kind of positive feeling. Minor scales or chords express some kind of negative feeling. For instance, let’s compare C and Cm.
C Major = C You can hear the sound at the site below.
You may feel some sort of feeling of upper tension with C while with Cm somewhat with lowered tension; negative or depression or sadness.
Chords and Scales will never disappear because they are just simply combinations of sound notes. And human can identify them as major or minor even if human achieve the life in which only happiness prevails. If such a negative of sadness is not necessary for human, then in a long-long future human will lose its capability of identifying minor scales and chords when human succeed to build civilization where only happiness rules. OK? Uuuuu, that sounds somehow wrong, isn’t it?
Happiness exists when Unhappiness exists. Oh it sounds somewhat like genuine proverb.
OK, I am not saying unhappiness is vital rather wondering if human can be in a state of infinite happiness, maybe the answer is NO. Even one is being in a state of happiness, the one can still identify the “beauty” of musical material that is composed of minor scales and chords. So, maybe we do not necessarily need to associate minor scales and chords with such negatives. They are just simply of beauty indeed and surely, although minor is sometimes applied to compose songs or music which are aimed at expressing some sorts of unhappiness.
Chords and Scales of Major and Minor
However, yes however, I have to say. I can’t eliminate a thought that the meaning of the fact that both Major and Minor exist would probably is happy history and sad history will continue happening especially such a thing like war and peace.
Major and Minor are categories of how human feel when they hear the music composed with those chords and scales. It is quite difficult to build a theory for feelings of human indeed and there are no such things like equation. Human behavior is often associated with evolution, “survival of the fittest”. And human consciousness is said to be crystalized in a way that the resulting consciousness leads the human to the fittest. Then, why does Minor remains as part of consciousness?
Probably, minor is used to express such things as sad love story, farewell, nostalgia etc. Or in a long future, will human be able to eliminate anything those sorts, completely thus minor will be no longer the fittest?
Only happiness exists. Is that possible? I think it means a devoid. Existence means contrast. Happiness can be contrasted with its opposite unhappiness. or maybe my wording is wrong. Happiness is ok but what should be its opposite. Happiness and ?????
OK, returning to the topic, Melody line and chord progression in a music – Time in physics -. In the sense of physics, negative and positive will be like plus and minus of electricity. There, any vector that makes thing directed to such things as happiness and sadness, is found or not, I wonder. But each specific series of notes in a specific combination like musical notes or melody will be like quantum particles acting throughout 4 dimensional time and space across the time expanse from past to present. But in physics, how to distinguish happiness and sadness. Is there any hint in survival of fittest? I mean, something that can lead things to the fittest means happiness? But I am quite sure “not”, though I can’t find any scientific or logical explanation. Anyway, ignorant confusion though.
Whatever. It surely is some kind of happiness, to be able to feel something through music whichever minor or major. So, please stop launching rockets and listen to music then happiness comes.
We are all exposed to so many negatives; criticized by others, be considered valueless by others, given a harsh downgraded in qualification by senior executive, failure of business, you name it. Or even sometimes you have to tell your once a lover goodbye. But you see in any of those there is no such things as killing people with rockets. And at least I can have just a short private time when I can listen to my favorite music, minor or major, that are beautiful to me.
By the way, is it a kind of hint to a breakthrough in modern physics which looks to me stacked that quantum put in Einstein’s world would be like musical melody? (Sorry, this is a monologue.)
Finally, if you like, listen to one of my favorites.
This time, herein is my science monologue featuring “Scratch” programing. If some kids around you have some interests about science, then maybe ——- the programing interests them. I think Scratch can be a kind of educational tool as introduced by the organizer.
Also, for me programing is like preparing food. When I am building “program”, my consciousness gets calm and tranquil but energetic at the same time, leading toward a feeling of creation. And the best of all, I can set aside negative sort of things that are haunting my daily life especially anything of my frustrating job, for a short period of time though.
Below is a program which I tried to visualize something of Entropy with, although it is not really of anything sophisticated. First of all, click the graphic image or web link below. Then, the web page of the “Scratch” programing which I built will appear on your screen. By clicking the green flag at the center of the graphic image or at the left upper in the web page, the program starts. (By clicking the red button next to the green flag, the program stops) After clicking the green flag, just wait for a while (around 5 seconds) until balls start moving. Then, the balls randomly move anywhere causing disorder (Entropy increases) in their geometrical arrangement, then by putting the mouse (or your finger in case of touch panel) on each ball, it returns to the starting point so that you can recover the initial orderly manner but then after a period of time disorder will start again. Your effort to regain the orderly manner is increasing the total entropy of space (universe) in a form of heat radiation from your body, the heat that is generated by your mouse-clicking-muscle and brain activity, although on the screen the order regains again and again. ……… Follow the instruction described in a text box at the right side.
Next one is a program that represents basic matter of physics. It represents how a ball (mass) moves when it is thrown vertically under the earth gravity and how it bounces on the ground then how the movement gets weakening because of energy loss due to bouncing. In the program, follow the instructions that will appear on the screen. If you for instance choose “not applying Gravity”, the ball will never return to the ground. If you do not apply Energy Loss, then the movement will last until you stop the program. (By clicking the red button, the program stops)
Next time, —– I don’t know when, anyway, I want to challenge parabola movement.
Scratch programing provides a platform in which ones can visually and intuitively build a program. Below is the graphical image of the platform. For kids, it will be good entry to practicing something of logical-thinking or constructing algorism.
Programming, to think about controversial issue of AI
Then, the prominent issue now is AI. I am not the sort that considers it as “intelligence”, it should rather be considered as just simply big data processor. Experiencing what “programming” is all about could possibly provide an opportunity of thinking about how the border line between human and machine should be defined, I think, though in an amateur way.
I am thinking of “Combinatorial Explosion”. The term is used in mathematics or computer science, it seems to me. So, I just freely trying to expand my ignorant imagination with this word.
1 Heart and 1000000 spades
When human predicts future or unexperienced, combinations are to be set. Nature will never simulate (predict) things rather it just built the world as it should be along with the progress of time whether or not it is favor to human. Or does have nature certain Algorism? If that is the case, combinatorial explosion will never happen. Only an absolute single combination should always be obtained. But that’s not true. Because our knowledge is not perfect while maybe nature is. Boltzmann once said nature always shifts toward the highest probability state. Let’s just think about picking up a card from a single bag where 1000000 of ace of spades and just 1 ace of hearts are put in. And then consider the probability of picking up the ace of heart. Once you miraculously have picked it up, the probability doesn’t matter. As long as any degree of probability exists do we have to consider it will anyway happen no matter how small the probability is.
Combinations continuously change along with the events happened.
Pi, its infinite lower digits or similar, such random may cause unpredictable and therefore be the source of combinatorial explosion. An event has happened. The next will follow. Then the cycle continues. So, each single event determines the ultimate destination of the whole.
It’s like that nostalgic talk of Murphy’s law.
If the time is infinite (putting aside Law of Entropy) any small possibilities should surely be existing anywhere in its infinite time span, like that ace of hearts, then because of its lowest entropy it always be the beginning for everything.
And as the time is infinite (if so) nobody can identify when a beginning begins like uncertainty principle. Then, the movement of nature should always be in orderly manner which graduate from the lowest probability to the highest. In this regard, no matter how small the probability is, it should happen anyway.
The point is combination should be as much elemental level as possible say elementary particle. The story of the ace of hearts does not contain any perception of time and sequence of events. Each single event affect any of succussing events.
Oh, I am losing my composure. Is there any probability that he gives up the idea of the war by the end of June 2023 saying that “I was badly wrong”? Even if he does, the world will never forgive him perhaps therefore the probability is calculated as Impossible. Anyway, this problem can never be solved by science.
It’s just the very Combinatorial Explosion, isn’t it?
Is the world entering a state of Combinatorial Explosion as there are lots of conflicts Energy, Environment, Food Supply, Demography, you name it, emerge? As the probability is within the time-space of elementary particle, our world and life will be of absolutely unique yet there are infinite numbers of another time-space set, I think with infinitely little confidence. (Oops I said it!)
I tried this subject “Combinatorial Explosion” this time. The result is the combinatorial explosion in my thought therefore at this point I better to stop thinking about it, it seems.
In a cave, they found strange fish. It does not have any eyes. Scientists observed that a long period of cave life deprived it of eyesight because in the cave there is no light therefore any visual device is meaningless.
In the near future, human will be deprived of faculty of writing statements because of AI.
Artificial Intelligence. It will bring us darkness of consciousness as like fish in a cave, don’t you think? Novel, poetry etc will soon be created by AI. Then will a situation follow in which nobody wants to be novelist or poet? Because, by the knowledge of a fact that real human writes them can one come to wishing being another author.
Will a world that is ruled almost by AI bring something new and better to human or it merely bring bad degeneration or retrogression? To what extent anything of so called artificial should be developed?
Sisyphus may abandon his toil of bringing the stone leaving the task on artificial Sisyphus.
Excess artificial leads to devoid of mind and spirits and most importantly emotion.
Pleasure is good thing for human unless it is given through dangerous drag. Pleasure given by such bad thing is “Artificial Pleasure”, we may call it perhaps?
With the emergence of practical AI, further the definition of human is getting difficult i.e. what does exactly form the meaning of human? Anyway, too much extreme will never be rational so it’s better to stop talking about it at this point.
I do not want to be like fish in a cave. However badly clumsy I am, I want to use my own system to an acceptable extent, the extent that can identify the meaning of human.
Please note that the talk above is just a lament and murmuring of an absurd man who is not convinced of the value of AI.
Sustainable and Development. These sounds to me somewhat conflicting. Developing something means generating entropy. Therefore, sustainable means to throw the entropy that is generated through development away as distant as possible from us. Herein, a self-proclaimed amateur scientist murmurs something that might have already been well stated by real specialists, in a way of pretending to know. But anyway, somewhat of a manner of ignorant yet eager to learn outlaw. (But maybe reading this gives you a good distraction. )
Is everything necessary?
Everything which is presently available is really necessary? Is tobacco, as somewhat tangible example, necessary? “But then tobacco makes up certain portion of economy and the tobacco economy supports people who need what is necessary therefore tobacco is necessary.” Is this logic flawless? OK then, what if tobacco is fully prohibited because it is considered unnecessary thereby people who are supported by tobacco economy are completely extinct? If those people are the consumer of modern communication network then having lost this considerable consumer block, the modern communication network, which might be one of necessary things, will be in the blink of extinction. Is this scenario practical? This kind of domino-effect is my very point in thinking of establishing a civilization in sophisticated balance. If minimizing CO2 emission needs to delete certain economic block, can other economic blocks be kept?
Feedback effect between each other; Technology, Economy, Manpower,
Of course, if energy or other industrialized system that are the source of CO2 emission are fully replaced with new system which CO2 emission is absolutely zero, then that sort of concern will be solved completely. But is that really possible? The more sophisticated balance is sought the more manpower will be needed and thereby another phase of entropy growth might be caused. The more streamlining of consumption is sought the further the vulnerability of economy might matter. The above two could be in a feedback loop; The more manpower is mobilized, the further the vulnerability of balance will extend. This could be a case in streamlining vs vulnerability of economy as well. Sophisticated is not synonymous to luxurious, of course. But can streamlined be really of innovation? After all, quantity matters, isn’t it? Otherwise, frugality overwhelms sophistication, civilization or innovation, maybe? We all would be driven to return simply back to of primitive, obsolete and then rudimentary life if it were inevitable to resign innovation because of sustainability.
Quantity matters?
Does quantity matter? But knowledge is the vital tool for sophistication and civilization and knowledge is grown in an atmosphere of diversity. Diversity needs sufficient or say, large quantity. Is this true?
A specific work necessitates another specific work
Let’s Imagine, we are now enduring primitive life and then one of our kids is suffered from a kind of ailment which normally is easy to cure if it is modern world. Although now we have knowledge on it, any facilities to cure it is no more available and therefore the kid died of it.
For Covid-19, vaccination was quite quickly developed as we have the knowledge on what is virus and how it can be mitigated and how to produce vaccination. Of course, not only the knowledge but also facilities, energies and manpower were necessary. Then furthermore apparently, even during normal days when such things as Covid-19 does not emerge these things should be kept on waiting mode. Could such industry as pharmaceutical be kept at a level that is always ready for such situation as Covid, while well minimized and shrunk as necessary for frugality the infrastructure and economy is kept?
Initially human started introducing agriculture which gave human surplus amount of food supply. The surplus further gave human opportunities for extending its activities to things other than purely food obtaining ones. That then further enhanced the human survival and at the same time generated quite a nuisance of anti-environmental byproducts.
Minimum condition of Population to Minimum Items to be in function
Returning to the theme today, let’s see how a well balanced civilization can be. Enhanced survival needs knowledge. To practice the knowledge whenever it is required needs well stand-by facilities. Well stand-by facilities need well grown economy which causes large amount of energy. The energy generates entropy which causes anti-environmental emissions. How can we minimize the anti-environmental emissions to a level that can be absolutely evaluated as no harm at the same time that the level of civilization is kept at higher level? Structure of the system should be kept. Then the quantity should be reduced. putting it another the quality is kept while the quantity is reduced. How? How about our population?
Population matters most?
The word “population” suddenly has come to my mind. To make population under control in order for it to be the best suits to balancing between creation and conservation, number of births control system will be an option. Number of births control? Yes number of births control! But how!? Oh don’t impose such a tough question! Anyway, Ok how about this. For instance, what if a government issues the right-of-giving-birth ticket to some people who were chosen in a way that can keep whole population almost constant. Calculation, of course, would be necessary taking into consideration on matters; quantity, knowledge, sophistication, innovation, civilization, diversity and minimum required volume of economy. But, number of births control? Only chosen people? Probably some people would oppose, insisting that everyone has the right to have their own children. So, the government would introduce a measure against that opposition. In the measure, all the babies born through that government birth program are raised and educated by a public organization so that no child belongs to any particular family. Immediately after being born, each and every baby is isolated from its parents with no traces left. uuuuu, Is this correct in terms of humanity? However rational its logic can be, it looks to me somewhat wrong.
Greta Thunberg, her yacht
Her yacht sailed to New York. The yacht was equipped with telecommunication and power generation device that had not been available in an era of sailing ships. I mean her yacht somehow is representing balance between creation and conservation in a way that minimizes the increase of entropy. Thanks to that telecommunication and power system on board she was able to safely navigate through once a dangerous ocean field at the same time then with minimum emission with such energy source as sun right, ocean tide and natural wind. Anyway its very strengthened hull is made of, maybe, fiber reinforced plastic which might lead another and diverse technology, thereby may consume so much of energy, economy and therefore a considerable quantity of something. Here then quantity matters again? The idea of the yacht could highly be evaluated as message since I myself has also been inspired of an idea of balanced civilization anyway. Then at the same time, it implies the difficulty as well, I suppose.
What are necessary for making semiconductor? What are required for making medicines? What are essential for making food?
For semiconductors; silicon, and other metals, energy, chemicals, clean room, factory, people who design it, procure, fabricate etc. Medicine as well and then food. Thinking of such a diversity of ingredients and facilities, I can’t help posing a question: After all, “Quantity matters most”, isn’t it? Minimum required quantity is determined at the quality which human think necessary. If the quantity is put as the most prioritized factor then it represents quality. Can the nature be in a best balance with civilization while human never give up “Fake Luxury”. Fake Luxury?! No! True luxury is I think surrounded by beautiful nature peacefully.
Future, optimistic or pessimistic?
They say world population may turn in a decline in a future. If so, naturally quantity of civilization will be suppressed in a way that can keep things at a sustainable level while quality of civilization is best ever highly sophisticated. But maybe that will be too late, comparing the speed of entropy which human is presently experiencing, with a decline rate of world population. Also to bear in mind is the way of seeking economic growth. I can’t describe it practically, but I think it should be of more spiritual. Oh, I am scarily. I am not such specialist that can speak of such a difficult thing. Everyone in the world seeks happiness although the way of realizing happiness sometimes quite a bias, yet I want to trust in human.
Once I was a lazy ant. No name nor ID was given but I was being fed with enough food. They were working. I was not. They were feeding me. There were lots of ants like me. How could I know the word “lazy”? Because an ant who once fed me said “I know you are not working at all, you are so called lazy ant”. One day, l was hit by sudden sensation of workaholic. I don’t know why but anyway I am working now and feeding another lazy ant.
Several years ago, I read a short article about “lazy ant” on some kind of news article. Then, I came up with an idea of expressing it in a personification way as above.
Lazy ants make themselves useful in unexpected ways
In that article, being described was a fact that scientists found that lazy ants exist indeed, and they are being fed by other working (task holding) ants. After all, the scientists concluded that those lazy ants were as kind of reserve work force, that article stated.
So, if some amount of work force is lost somehow, then the lazy ants will turn into working ants immediately. Maybe some sort of secretion process is underway, the article had explained.
Sorry, this is just my unclear memory of that article and therefore if you want to know it precisely and to deepen it further, you should contact real specialist.
Anyway, let me continue.
Initially I thought that those lazy ants are for keeping diversity of DNA. If ant’s population necessary for enough DNA diversity is larger than that for food hunter- gathering and furthermore working ants can collect food sufficient for feeding those idle ants as well, then the system can work. Anyway, OK, they are reserve work force. Yes, it’s quite simple interpretation and consistent logic.
So, can this mechanism be applicable to human society? If so, I want to be the lazy side forever. (You would say; You! such a man!) The point is the word “forever”. I know there is nothing being forever. Also. worth notified is that mechanism; lazy ants quickly turn into substantial work force.
Assuming that there are a lot of lazy employees in a company in which only a few people are working indeed in a productive way and then suddenly those working people have moved to another company, can those lazy people turn immediately into productive work force?
It is impossible of course! They don’t have well nurtured skill which normally is attained through out rigorous work life. In Ants case, the skill is in their DNA, perhaps.
So, how can such risk as losing skilled workers be hedged? No reserve, no spare, no standby. You! company top brass bastards! Why don’t you do things on your own!
Oh I should not use such a coarse language. Anyway, you see. The point is the spirit for work. Person who has strong spilites toward contributing a certain company, well determined in devotion, will not leave the company.
Ants do not have work spirit, maybe anyway. Spirit is not a part of system. DNA is part of system. And in ant’s case, those working ants and lazy ants are both a kind of consumable, I suppose.
Communism, capitalism, socialism, corruption-izm any -izms may contain spirit.
What is really “Working”? Imagine, a man who has long endured such hard work as pumping up groundwater from coal mine by driving the pumping device with his own muscle, then one day he invented steam engine to drive the pumping device. So, somewhat in this short story, the point is a question; did he come up with the idea of steam engine in order to escape from such backbreaking hard work and then to be lazy?
Probably, he would further make tremendous effort to invent another new machine that is more energy efficient and more powerful than those initial models. Or maybe he would be really lazy like nobles in corrupted dynasty who are sedentary on his success.
Imagine again, here we see a girl who wants to be a pianist. She then told her lover who is a computer scientist that she wants to be a pianist and therefore she is “working hard” to practice playing the piano. Then, the lover said; My sweetheart, you don’t need to make such “inefficient effort”. I can build a piano control program with a computerized system so any music can be played in piano sound whether or not it is composed by you or others. You do not need to endure hard lessons to play the piano. Frowned, she then murmured, “You don’t really understand what my desire is all about.” ……. She left from him forever. “Good Bye!”
What she wants is simple. She wants to make something embodied within a time and space where she and her audiences can share the feeling powered with the music. And the fact that she is now really and directly playing the piano by her body, nerves, intelligence, consciousness, and memory of tremendous hard work so far etc. further enhance that feeling, a kind of ecstasy state.
Imagin, she and her audiences are in a state of ecstasy.
Oh, what was the theme today? So, lazy ant. The pianist, she doesn’t want to be a greedy company top-brass nor corrupted noble rather she needs hard work only. Her hard work is not for becoming lazy person. Hard work itself is the aim.
Then, could that lazy ant feel such extasy in being lazy? Or for lazy ants, is it possible that there is nothing like ecstasy even after getting transformed into workaholic ants, I wonder. And then, do only the queen and prince gain a sensation of ecstasy when they feel their group of ants thriving? At this moment, I do not know it nor even could imagine it. In case of human, there may be nothing like spares as any idling human can never be replacement in such a quick manner, like ants, as each has its own personality.
For ants, such expression of “lazy” will never fit. For human, ecstasy may fit to the discussion in Knowledge Argument.
When I was an elementary school kid, I read that famous novel “The Lost World”. In a plateau in South America, in early 1900s found is a lost generation of biological environment and system where dinosaurs are roaming around. That is the overall scenery of that novel. The plateau provides perfect isolation to the biological environment there from any evolutionary movement. (At that time when the novel was written, collision of meteorite had not even yet on the mind of human.) For such kids like me at that time, this background setting looked somewhat scientific and practical though at the same time I was well aware that it is just a fiction.
Then around 50 years later, I have encountered another, more and further realistic “Lost World”.
A sinkhole recently found in China may keep somewhat lost generation of biological system because of its construction, which somehow has functioned as isolation from evolutionally or environmental changes. ——— some web articles state so.
In the sinkhole, they found ancient forest.
As you now can guess, these articles reminded me of “The Lost World”. If I can say I have been well matured adult (really?), then this news can be modern adult version of that novel. Nevertheless, I know that most of the preserved lost generation will be of vegetation rather than animal.
Oh, somewhere on the globe do I believe there should be a place where dinosaurs are still well preserved alive. (—- Only when I am drunk.)
Isolated Environment that keeps, to some extent, pasts
Regaining my composure, I just have reconsidered that stupid idea in a relatively adult way.
Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world (a maximum depth of 1,642 meters). Deep down its water would be an ideal preservation facility. Of cause such a place will never allow ground animals to be alive. However maybe a kind of things like skin of dinosaur or even the part of its flesh may possibly be preserved well sufficiently for scientific purposes.
So, it comes in my mind that if Lake Baikal is an ideal place, then ocean as well be such place.
OK then, let’s raise a movement among academics and knowledge-seeking billionaires. A movement; Excavate deep ocean floor such as Mariana Trench. Or of Lake Baikal. The bottom of Baikal, which considered once a ground area above sea level, may keep some precious treasure of knowledge for ancient biological system. So, I suppose there would be found might be of remarkably preserved, pickled-in-water like specimen in formalin, —— a remain of dinosaur. There it is pickled Lost World!
Oh, please someone, get me back to sober.
Even with the most advanced technology available for us, it is impossible to undertake excavation in such an extremity of Mariana Trench or the deepest area of Lake Baikal. —– this is quite normal perception. If anyone who can say it possible, then please do it and tell me the result via some kinds of well-known ways like putting an article about it on National Geographic. Or it’s already been done?
Anyway, after all it is not exactly “The Lost World”.
So, in our DNA found would be sinkhole or plateau in the DNA; data bank of our long-forgotten ancestors
Is it possible to resurrect dinosaur? Like in that modern novel and movie.
Maybe we might find in DNAs in some modern life forms including human, “The Lost World” or say, a kind of plateaus or sinkholes, which are well isolated from any shifts caused by evolutionally mutation of DNA. Then by collecting those parts of DNAs from several life forms, we might obtain a set of parts that can be assembled together into another life form, like assembling Lego blocks. It’s like deciphering ancient language by tracing back the origin of words from several modern languages. Words and Grammatical order etc. in ancient language might be dissipated and be hidden in several languages in the cause of history. For instance; If some birds have fragments of DNA that contains information on the spine structure of T-Rex. Then if some specific reptiles have data in their DNA of the internal organs of T-Rex. And if some fishes bring fragments of DNA information for —— of T-Rex.
The point is how to distinguish each specific DNA block that can be the parts of once flourished life form and how to draw the assembly drawing of those specific blocks.
Maybe this kind of concept has already been announced worldwide. Nevertheless, above statement is just an imagination and therefore there is no proof nor theory nor facts that can support it. —– Just a playful ignorant monologue, it shall be.
Whatever. I am longing for live dinosaurs. Those news articles on ancient forest in Sinkholes ignited my imagination. Hang in there! For those who are carrying out research activity for that wonderful sinkhole.
Somewhere there might be sinkhole of DNA?
How to completely eliminate war? In our DNA, there is a region that drives us to war, isn’t it? So, a vaccination for war DNA pattern? —– Oh, how foolish—-
Isaac Newton, in his world, what rules over it is differential calculus. In that mathematics system being the basis is infinitely continuous and theoretically possible always of division, therefore, it is uncountable but quantifiable. Therefore, logically it is possible to describe any small value of energy. Max Planck, a physicist in the later generation in this field than that of Newton, introduced new concept that is different from what Newton had introduced. Energy value takes only values of integer multiple of a minimal element.
Coins in quantifying energy value
Coins can make only fixed discrete value. Assuming that the consumer tax ratio is 0.3% and the price of a product “chewing gum” is 1 $ and then the consumer tax value comes to 0.003 $, how can you pay that 1.003 $? Even if you have 3 of 1 cent coins, you can only make 0.03$. Maybe, you have to cut 1 cent coin into further ten pieces like a pizza shared by ten people. Of course, in case of large amount of money transaction, such value as 1,000,000$ for instance, the consumer tax value in the above case is 3,000$. Then you only need 3000 of 1$ bills. You don’t need to cut each bill into pieces. I interpret it as above; the energy behavior is like our currency system. To specialists, am I correct?
So, space, time, whatsoever, everything has its own the least coin, maybe or ——
So, what if everything should be composed of minimal elements like the least coin? Especially for physics, they are contemplating to establish the theory with elementary particles. As an element it should be, each of them will never disperse, I think maybe??? Can the time also be dividable up to a minimal element? If so, it’s like clock needle for seconds. Probably, such idea had already been taken or rejected by those specialists and they would say, at my rudimentary rough imagination, “If you will pardon me, please let me tell you that you have to study physics in proper manner.” Then, I would retaliate against that statement saying, “How the proper manner be defined while relativity, probability etc. rules your world”. Then I would take another sip of whisky as a preparation for escape operation.
In a cyber would everything has its own the least unit. A bit. Pixel etc
Now a days, computer graphics technology can create visual image of very high-resolution. Movement, color, shapes etc. of the vision, all those look very real. Of cause, that visual image is composed of the least unit such as bits, pixel, system clock pulse (basis of time shift) etc. And as long as every element is synchronized with each other, whole system functions as continuous as Mr. Newton imagined. ——- Maybe I think, without any proof though.
The universe is being like cyber world, isn’t it? Or that is somewhat of crazy idea?
So, here introduced such a crazy, drunken idea. Space (universe), or say, Cosmology is established with a perception of cyber world. Loop quantum gravity might be the one that I imagine, though I have not even taken a glimpse of the theory and I don’t know if it is as I imagined. But considering a fact that cyber world is expanding in an exponential speed like big bang while the development of theory of physics has been not that way, that latest theory of physics might lack something vital which computer scientists have long introduced into cyber world, though maybe computer scientists are not aware of the fact that that ordinally thing for them is quite a vital to cosmology indeed. —– I think so —-, Oh I am sorry, this is a monologue. (In a past I read a book which says there is a theory in which cosmos is modeled like cyber world. Anyway, that book did not show anything of the theory itself. Then, I thought that there might be other people who are as crazy as me.)
Planck constant will finally be described as a converging value of an infinite series, may or may not be, like Pi
Then, once more, let me be in my indulgence. Pi can be calculated by some geometrical way, like a “coin” infinitely divided into infinite numbers of triangles. Maybe someone remembers that in their elementary school age in a math-class did that process to obtain approximation of the value of Pi. So, if cosmos or universe or simply say space can be mathematically modeled then Planck constant might possibly be obtained through calculation only without any value obtained through experiments of physics. What?!Are you ok?! Specialists or academics in this field would exclaim so again.
Plague is survival? Is this what you really mean? Hello ——-, anybody home——????, are you OK?
I am OK. (Perhaps) When it comes to the word Plague, there are several meanings and here being talked about is that deadly disease, also known as “Black Death”.
It has given human so many ordeals, which were resulted in, anyway, the sort of admirations such as, resilience, perseverance, or, simply expressed, a strength.
The Oldest Historical Record
Traces of the pathogen of plague was found in some Bronze Age human remains from some 5000 years ago. But it is not the sort that can be called Historical Record because those Bronze Age humans might have not been aware of recording their history and the traces were just detected in the human remains by modern science.
Then, some historical records were found in so called Amarna letters, some cuneiform text of Hittite king Mursili II or Books of Samuel in Old Testament. All of them were in BC era and written in the language being used at that time. ——– Some thousand years old sufferings of human being.
Nevertheless, those plagues all had come to end always and eventually leaving human precious lessons learned and “creation”. Creation from what they learned.
In England, 1655, a small village “Eyam”
The village, called “Eyam” was hit by plague. Anyway, later on found was the remarkable difference in numbers of survivors, compared against other villages. Some scientists finally concluded that certain genetic mutation called Delta32 is responsible for that remarkable numbers of survivors. There are some stories about the villager’s fight against plague. The most impressed for me is story of a wife whose family members were all died of plague but the wife herself was not infected with plague even though she had been exposed to all her family members. She was giving them any cares as she could think of as possible. Hundreds of years later, found are holders of a specific DNA pattern among her bloodlines. Her devotion to her family conveyed the knowledge to future scientists.
Delta32, the protection shield given to some people but not to all
So, a question is posed. Why do not all people have Delta32? In army organization, infantries are rationed with handheld guns and some personal protection devices while armored division is given mechanical equipment such as heavy tanks, cannons and missile launchers. Never be forgotten is unarmed civilians whose protection is quite weak. Nature does things in a way somewhat similar to what army organization does. Even nature, something of holy and divine (my personal opinion), is undertaking such a harsh human discrimination, it seems to me.
Delta32 to AIDS
There is an experiential knowledge; a person who has Delta32 is never infected with AIDS. A set of knowledge from a lesson has just been found to be linked with another, further enhancing the effort of human to survive. That kind of process can be seen as creation. The creation, or the effort of human to survive looks somehow trying to eliminate all such discrimination that look like a given ordeal by an intention of something divine.
Human, at least we can say, is not perfect even after the completion of its form. As like Personal Computers, which continuously are evolving, human has also been in evolutionally process.
In this regard, such sequence of events, ordeal-recovery-review and try to do, can be considered driving force to reach a point that is as perfect as possible but never at complete perfection. It’s like an infinite series (mathematical) that converges continuously into a certain figure that is conditioned with some mathematical relations, and it never stops the converging process. For instance, actual value of “Pi”; 3.14159 26535 ——————– to be continued forever.
Why had it not been given to all, from the very beginning of human appearance on the earth?
However, I can’t help thinking why such protection was not given to all human at the very beginning of human.
If there is a kind of existence that intended to create human, it seems that that existence cannot create something perfect from the very beginning in almost instantly. Instead, it gives human harsh lesson as part of its creation process. If human were intended to be created by such mysterious existence, then the process of that creation is still underway.
By giving such harsh lesson, something that is converged into something strengthened from diversity is created, maybe or may not be, I am not sure ——. Just feeling it quite vaguely. Diversity may also be important where everything is uncertain.
We are well aware of the usefulness of scientific approach. And facing at Covid-19, we made tremendous effort such as large scale of virus detection like PCR, development of the method of treatment specific to Covid-19 and development of vaccination.
Now returning to the introduction of this short talk; “Plague, long time driving force for survival”, Something necessary is not always something positive. Anything positive maybe is created by human after an ordeal is overcome.
So, that lady in that village “Eyam”, Her story will never be positive. But thanks to her remarkable determination in taking care of her family, we can now be aware of Delta32.
Now a days, there are lots of negative stories such as war. Would all those give strength to human in future, even if it is caused by the very human not by nature? “War, long time driving force for survival?” The very survival by killing enemy not by taking care of suffered.
