Save for one topic, each of these little snippets of information are anecdotes that I would like to share, but do not see the point of turning into a full-fledged post in order to do so.
The Universe
It would be foolish to assume that the Milky Way is the only galaxy and or universe in contention for the possibility of containing sustainable life either in past, present, or future. As such, this ‘multiverse’ approach to space can be quantified in terms of duration of existence plus proximity roughly equals the propensity for foreign life.
That is all.
This is a large subject, but I will be covering it in greater depth within the next week or two.
Architeuthis
It is now known that there is a species of giant squid, architeuthis, but before the relatively recent discovery much of the information relayed has been inconclusive – the existence of such a species did, however, have historical precedent. The Kraken, an elusive terrifying monstrosity that is essentially a modern day architeuthis has appeared in many works spanning hundreds of years, and it is interesting to witness science-fiction become science-fact.
Hallucinations of the Visually Impaired
Charles Bonnet syndrome is rare and under-represented; it is essentially the process of your mind producing erratic visualizations due to the abrupt (or gradual) loss of vision. The loss of vision enables the mind to produce sensory imagery that does not exist in an effort to cover the fault of failing eyesight. I have been a witness to such episodes (admittedly, while severely sleep deprived) and it is alarming.
On the other hand, it is different from sleep deprived hallucinations which are the seeping of dreams into reality due to micro-sleep which circumvents the logical, rationale of the brain in order to bend actuality into a surreal, frightening experience. In short; both Charles Bonnet syndrome and sleep-deprived hallucinations are not fun.
