“The “reality” we see all around us is only the tiniest sliver of the complete EM spectrum, the smallest approximation to a much larger universe of EM colors. Some animals can see more than we can. For example, bees can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to us but essential for bees to find the sun even on a cloudy day. Since flowers evolved their gorgeous colors in order to attract insects like bees to pollinate them, this means that flowers are often even more spectacular when viewed using UV light.

When I was a child and read about this, I wondered why we could only see the smallest piece of the EM spectrum. What a waste, I thought. But the reason, I now realize, is that the wavelength of an EM wave is roughly the size of the antenna which produces it. Hence, your cell phone is only a few inches in size because that is the size of the antenna, which is about the wavelength of the EM waves being broadcasted. Similarly, the size of a cell in your retina is about the size of the wavelength of colors that you can see. Hence we can only see colors which are the size of our cells. All the other colors of the EM spectrum are invisible because they are either too big or too small to be detected by our retinal cells. So if the cells of our eyes were the size of a house, we might be able to see all the radio and microwave radiation swirling around us. Similarly, if the cells of our eyes were the size of atoms, we might be able to see X-rays.” – from THE GOD EQUATION, coming April 6. Learn more here > https://bit.ly/MKTGE

Another happy 2020 laureate has received his Nobel Prize!

A few hours ago, Physics Laureate Roger Penrose was presented with his Nobel Prize medal and diploma at the Swedish Ambassador’s Residence in London, UK. He seemed to be especially fond of his diploma with an art work depicting a sky full of stars in Stockholm, Sweden.

Penrose was awarded the 2020 Physics Prize "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity."
