A few days ago, I remembered Alexander Pope’s quote about Newton and joked to myself.

Alexander Pope: “Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in Night: God said, Let Newton be! and All was Light.”

My joke:

If Alexander Pope were alive in this era, he might write:

“Divine matters hid in sight. Amun said let Naga Tuma be! and they came to light.”

Of course, this is a joke. Naga Tuma is unimportant.

To the second speaker, there is information, real information, that is beyond your brain’s capacity to process.

It makes your brain’s capacity to process resign to something else.

"Free will. Does it exist?

I occasionally see Neil deGrasse Tyson on TV and listen enthusiastically to him when he talks.

I watched a small part of this video. It is about biology and physics.

It reminded me a talk I had one day with Dabassa Guyo while driving to my home.

I was looking at street lights while driving in a city.

An analogy occurred to me as I was driving and talking to him.

The instantaneous analogy that occurred to me and I told him is that humanity’s vision in the city and in nature is like looking at street lights in the city and stars out in nature.

City lights are so close to us. Star lights are so far away.

That means humanity’s vision became so close by the city lights and started to be forgetful of farsightedness by looking at the stars out in nature.

If not word for word, this is essentially the crux of what I discussed with him.

It was long after that early encounter with him that I heard him say: ነምን ህን ሶበ፣ ኡርጂን ህን ሶቡ።

It roughly means a human lies, a star doesn’t lie.

I am unsure if Neil deGrasse Tyson has interpreted the apparent alignment of stars with respect to time. In other words, if there are recognizable apparent patterns with respect to time and all biology and physics on planet earth is independent of it.

I hate to pass any judgement about his studies. What I have yet to understand is the apparent appearance of, for example, ሰዴ፣ ጀሄ and so on with respect to not only during one human being’s lifetime but also over the lives of generations.

1. In about the 15 minutes of talk about a trained, untrained, and trainable human brain, they would move over 400 kilometers in space aboard the biggest known spaceship called Planet Earth if they were near the equator.

2. While listening to this video, I was looking at green trees in front of me. The trees appeared indifferent to the talk and I felt active photosynthesis at their leaves and osmosis at their roots.

3. I remembered that for many generations past, the constancy of the human male and female equilibrium practically remained stable.

4. I also remembered that for many generations past, the constancy of average human height practically remained stable.

5. I also imagined that in the 15 minutes of talk, probably thousands of babies were born around the world generally bearing the same human features seen in many generations past.

6. Meanwhile, the Sirius Mystery remains unread.

I could go on and on.

Then again, I can only imagine that the trainable human brain that can think of human made orders trying as ever to unlock the natural and possibly divine orders in order to understand it better than ever.

Is consciousness more fundamental to reality than quantum physics?

The thread at the following link has unmistakable and unexplained mysteries that concern Fed_Up and Horus.

Does either have a free will to live outside these mysteries?

Does either have consciousness that can explain these mysteries?

The neuroscience of anger: Is it willful or entirely biochemical over which we have no control. Astrophysicist de Grassie will have us believe that there is no free will. How do we make decisions?
Why do different individuals react differently to the same stimulus(i)? Does culture which contains experiences condition different neurological responses of individuals to same stimulus? Is anger therefore a learned trait?

"Quantum Theory is wrong"


Abstract ideas such as consciousness and free will are discussed too.

Is consciousness a quantum entanglement? Do you form ideas or receive them?
