just an observation


no 2 people can see the same light photon ~ yet both can’t miss the void 

one hundred trillion photons hits our eyes each second ~ don’t be devoid

Dear David, i agree no two people can see things from the same light, our way of thinking and perspectives are shaped from so many aspects which falls on nature vs nurture. You have a very deep way of writing and your monokus definitely were worth reading: the last one gives a message a reminder that is soulful! Pleasure reading this~ sending you light

Thank you so much Ink, your light is always appreciated, as indeed you say none of us sees the exact same light, and in turn this gives each of us a unique perspective, even if it may seem barely imperceptible, the main thing is we don’t become devoid in the greater scale of things, cheers David

Your Monokus certainly give us something to think about David. You open a door and that leads to two more, and so on, does it ever end I wonder?. Keep em coming. Tom

I know Tom, I haven’t even mentioned their cousins the Neutrinos, that pass through us and the entire planet without interacting, yet the science says they are there, the human mind is indeed a powerful machine, even more so when put to doing good, cheers David

If I keep my eyes closed, is it possible to quantum leap over them? Makes me wonder how the hundred trillion count was made. David, you have one of those 'wandering' minds that wants to know.

Hey Lin, the count starts off almost on a 1 and 1 = 2 experiment, then the number crunchers multiply by the area they want to cover, in fact they have estimated, a 1 with 84 zeros after it would be all the photons in the universe, close your eyes, and someone else might well steal your photons lol!

Now this one not only impacts the eyes but crashes into the mind....can still feel the ripples David. You have a rare gift of translating science facts into engaging imagery...moreover into bloody good poetry.... Cheers, Paul

Your wonderful comment has opened my eyes much wider today Paul, I cannot help but ponder the science behind reality, and try write something meaningful about it, cheers David

Thank you Michael, it’s fun to play around with the stuff that allows us to see, the real mystery is how we developed brains to interpret and explain all this, cheers David

It's interesting that they spin and live on and allow us to see. I'll be on the lookout. Informative Ku :D

A fundamental part of reality Anaya, but don’t blink and you may well miss a few trillion of them lol! Cheers David
