My best ever Astrophotography with just a cell phone by hand tonight of the Moon and Venus.
You can even make out the unlit part of the moon. That always reminded me of the
dark painted top of an older style projector bulb.






And it looks like Anton has finally discovered the research results that discovered quantum negative time

Once You Stop Talking To Yourself, The Shift Happens

[chuft]

Yes it would be very interesting to see how the very first homo sapiens lived. I have some theories about it, but they're a little mature for this forum.

The closest you can get are newly discovered, relatively isolated hunter-gatherer tribes. But they are rare and still have hundreds of thousands of years of cultural evolution so they are not exactly cavemen. And they always live in extreme, very isolated areas so they may not be representative of most hunter gatherers.

Well if we have Negative Time now we can go back in time and find out for ourselves 😋

I read about this years ago.

First, there were lights. Even cavemen kept a fire going all night to ward off predators. Then candles and torches. People have always had artificial light, but it was fire which has a much warmer wavelength than sunlight and does not disrupt sleep because your body does not think it is daylight.

People always lived in groups, including in cavemen times. It is supposed this is why some people are "night owls" and some are "morning people" - the natural distribution of when you sleep varies among people and it is thought this is so there are always some people in the group awake at any given time to keep watch for predators.

Second, there is plenty you can do with even minimal or no light. Men and women have sex. Women nurse infants. People groom each other, combing hair, removing lice. People talk and plan. If you have some light from fire you can work on making or repairing tools and clothing or prepare food which has a long preparation time or work on preserving food such as by butchering a large animal and salting the meat. You can wash clothes if you prepared by having a bucket of water ready. You can cook and eat. If you live in buildings you can do maintenance work on the interior of the home. In some cultures people might pray, or meditate/think, or sneak out to commit crimes in the dark, or meet a lover for sex away from other people. Remember most people in history until very recently could not read, and books were not easily available, so it's not like they would be reading anyway even if there was plenty of light.

Even with just starlight you can certainly do things like have sex or nurse infants or talk.

Most of all, remember most of the year there are 10 hours of darkness or significantly more depending on latitude. Near the equator where we evolved, there are almost always 12 hours of darkness every day. If you sleep 7 or 8 hours you are going to be awake for 4-5 hours of darkness no matter what. It's not particularly radical to suggest this was in the middle of the night rather than the early part of the night (going to bed late) or the very late hours before dawn (getting up very early). Either way you are awake in the dark for a good 4 hours or more. So the question remains "what do you do in the dark" regardless of whether it's biphasic sleep or not. And people always found things to do.

Anyway, I have almost forgotten to post this one about sleep I had seen when it was uploaded days ago.
That beginning with example of the Hungarian soldier Paul Kern.

The people that had a bi-phasic sleep, in those days there was no lights yet. Only moonlight. What would those people do in the middle of the night if it's very dark? What can you do? Nothing. It doesn't make sense. 4 hours awake in the middle of the night. And what did the people in the test group do when they woke up, in the middle of the night?

12:35 Time Bandits clever.

What he said at that time-index in the video, this is what I saw once in one of the (best) "The Twilight Zone" episodes from the 80s. Exactly that.
I love philosophical discussions 😊

For those who likes videos:

and for those who like reading instead 😋

That 80's twilight Zone did have some good episodes
This one below was always my favorite. This is the best quality one
I can find just that it contains the full segment of 4 stories.

23:38 Begins the second story and my fav "A small talent for war" (I rank it up with the original series episode "To Serve Man" yes cooking by the book)

Edit: Oh it's the same Episode that contains the story of the one you posted at 31:35 heh

Yes but it still fits in with some philosophical discussion

Best to read the book, but for the rest of you...a video

And for those who prefer to read, here is an excellent site that I was surprised to find was still there decades later. Google Search couldn't find it (no surprise nowadays) but my bookmark still worked. A page on the participatory anthropic principle. Each page has links to other subjects at the bottom.

This kind of stuff is quite interesting but I wouldn't confuse it with science. It's Buddhism.

The image at the bottom of the page reminded me of an old shoop of mine

A few quick thoughts before I head off to sleep

In the Wheeler video above

At 30:18 Carl Sagan echoed the same sentiment in Cosmos. "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself"

As for the Tryptophans, that molecule could be the mechanism by which our quantum self is able to physically interact with this reality.
The connection.

I started thinking about how the entire universe vibrates. Everything is vibrating.
Then remembering reading about that healing frequency of 432 hz. The same frequency inside
the Pyramids vibrate at. In the queens chamber and the walkways all resonate
at that frequency when you introduce a tone. The voice. Like Om. I read somewhere
that it is documented in ancient Egypt that people did make journeys to them
for healing. And it's not just those three but even the bent pyramids as well.

Even Tolkien touched upon that in the Silmarillion. The music (vibration) of the Ainur
which created Arda and the realm in which it exists. And that whole thing with
Melkor/Morgoth adding discord to that song which created all the dark things.

Anyway just some contemplations. Here's one more that I had caught.

For the rest of the class here, I know this is some really heavy thought provoking
subjects but think of it as an introduction what's to come as you get
older and wiser. 😄
