Recently scientist have shown yet another level of sensitivity that is remarkable to imagine can exist. We can sense a single photon of light. So give that a moment of thought. We can make a device to sense a single photon, but it is very difficult and requires cooled electronics, yet our eyes are warm, moist and biological. The science is remarkable and is documented in Nature Communications, however a summary article can be found here http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2016/07/21/Human-eyes-can-detect-the-smallest-units-of-light/2741469105817/. Frankly its remarkable to be able to produce a single photon of light, from a technical standpoint. Human minds achieving technology so sophisticated, to explore the boundaries of our capability is fascinating.
Yet with wonder for our universe and our understanding of it, we have just to open our eyes and our minds. Our eyes are receiving each and every moment millions of photons and deciphering through our brains an image of the world around us. Furthermore as evidence by the stars in the night sky we can see billions of miles away, so much so that we are looking back into time to photons created many millions of years ago, just to arrive to our retinas and bring us an appreciation for the vastness of our universe, the grandness of our existence and the beauty of our lives. Our minds have an ability to understand the application of physical science to technology, and yet also the grandeur of the physical world. Including many things that may not be described in words. A single photon is not seen as much as its sensed, “It’s not like a dim flash of light or anything like that” said Aliphasha Vaziri, a quantum physicist at Rockefeller University in NY City, “It’s more a feeling of seeing something rather than really seeing it”. He described it as “being at the threshold of imagination”.
More than poetic, this gives a rise to thought about our minds ability to sense beyond what it can describe as seeing, or hearing, or touching, or smelling. How every atomic element of our world is a part of highly choreographed means of inspiring our imagination, if only we let it. Our minds are a remarkable instrument, if we can just appreciate and open them to the world around us, maybe we can truly sense the music and art of creation, and thereby also truly understand the nature of each other.
What a beautiful piece! The physiology of life, constantly improving over billions of years has created absolute marvels. Anyone who spends their time trying to understand this biology is left humbled by the experience.
Thank you… it is marvelous that we can understand so much of our physiology as well imagine so much beyond it. Be proud of your study, interest, and achievement in advancing science as well as being a healer!
Yes, one only has to close his eyes to see visions of the universe. Can one imagine light that is so pure that it cast no shadow. A light so pure that it passes thru everything it touches and as it does it leaves the object that is shining thru full of radiant sparking colors. If so then one can sense the touches of heaven.
