    Interesting idea. I would buy one.

    Armed with fresh funding, IXI is now planning to ramp up R&D, expand its team of 50 people, and move into a new headquarters with a purpose-built lab and clean room facilities. The company plans to hold the first live demos of its glasses later this year.

    But maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath, yet.






  • Obviously humane are not as self determined as we like to think. Maybe our paths are predetermined through our evolutionary development.

    Decision making motivated by emotions. Quick success, own advantage or the closest pressing issue is always more important than sustainability and the common good. Bad emotions are suppressed and messengers of bad news are chased out of the village.

    And then there are the ones who believe that all is lost and nothing can save us. Like me. Not helpful, I know.




  • Yes. Light receptors maybe, but eyes…

    source

    … and light-sensing organs called ocelli, which can sense the presence and absence of light. Additionally, some jellyfish have sensory structures called rhopalia, which contain receptors to detect light, chemicals and movement.

    Oh wait! This is unexpected:

    … One group of jellyfish, the cubozoan jellyfish, have complex eyes… with lenses, corneas and retinas in their rhopalia.

    Huh. Wiki agrees:

    box jellyfish are unique in the possession of true eyes, complete with retinas, corneas and lenses.[13] Their eyes are set in clusters at the ends of sensory structures called rhopalia

    Whoa.











  • Zahn der Zeit:

    Der Zahn der Zeit ist eine geologische Besonderheit auf der Philmont Scout Ranch, acht Kilometer südwestlich von Cimarron in New Mexico (USA ) und eine der beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Philmont. Es handelt sich um eine magmatische Intrusion aus Dazitporphyr, die im Paläogen des Känozoikums vor etwa 22 bis 40 Millionen Jahren entstand.

    Obwohl dieser schon so alt ist, scheint der Zahn der Zeit ihm bisher kaum zugesetzt zu haben.
