The "zombie ant" Theory

       So what's a description of a zombie,basically a mindless drone,urged by the desire to feed.Of course according to folklore a zombie is a walking cadaver, although vampires are also walking cadavers,both working on the same principle: in order to assure their own survival they need to feast on the living.

       But why would a dead body need to survive.Now that's the paradox.Vampires,zombies,mummies, if they're all dead, why do they want to live so bad,even if they are the "living dead" they are still dead.

      Now let's take a look of a real life zombie situation:

The Universal Language Theory

      

     It is said that 90% of our overall communications are non-verbal. This includes gestures, face expressions, chemical language, and other. Another thing I want to point out is that the universal language (and this is strictly related to the part of the Universe that we know stuff about) is not English, it's mathematics or physics if you like. 

The "Efficiency System" Theory

      
       Every day of our lives consists of "daily routines". Daily routines consist of different actions that become unconditioned reflexes due to repetitive use. Unfortunately not all routines are good or efficient.

       For example waking up, and the first thing you do, is light up a cigarette.Smoking on an empty stomach causes hunger sensation,the stomach will secrete acid and that could cause tissue damage.So have a snack before lighting up that cigarette.

      That's just an example of a bad routine.There are also inefficient routines that make up our daily lives,whether is work related, or house chores, or just spending free time. If you take a moment to write down the things you do in a week, you'll realize that some things could use a change. Implementing a more efficient daily routine means more personal time,and personal time is the most important;relaxing,enjoying it with friends,family.

      When you manage to free more time for yourself don't just waste it,plan it.The quality of life is also related to how you spend your time,because you can only live once, and if everybody dies that doesn't mean that everybody lives.

A Theory with a drop of lemon

      
      Funny fact :"Live viral vaccines such as the smallpox or yellow fever vaccines provide immune protection that lasts several decades, but despite their success, scientists have remained in the dark as to how they induce such long lasting immunity" (MNT quote).

      So basically scientists are discovering now what the stuff that newborns have been inoculated with for decades, does.Awesome,it reminds me of the Pepsi Twist commercials:

• first there was Pepsi Twist because it was Pepsi with Lemon
• after it became Pepsi Twist Lemon,hmmm that's like saying climbing up, or sitting down
• then they thought of a commercial that stated: "Pepsi Twist Lemon ,now with a drop of lemon"

      WHAT? What the hell? "NOW" with a drop of lemon,well what the hell did it contain until now?OMG and they wonder why Coke has 90% of the market.You gotta be kidding me, "now with a drop of lemon" they said.

      Ok back to our vaccine...so "NOW" they are discovering what it does? That is so uncool,it's like humanity has been a guinea pig for decades.I know it's a necessary "evil",sort of say, but doing this based on the fact that "oh ok it provides immunity,it must be good and it has to be safe" when there are so many unknown factors involved it's kind of creepy.Seriously who knows what's going on at molecular level.

      I'm gonna stop,no more conspiracy theories,if life gives me lemons....I'll just make lemonade.

The Theory of Imagination

        
      Well since yesterday my mind was a blur due to a severe headache,I just posted some videos and also reviewed them for my own amusement.What I admire at people like comedians is their unique capability of imagining things. 
      It's the same cognitive process I am trying to apply to this blog,when two existing perceptions (thesis and antithesis) are combined within the mind, a third perception (called synthesis) is formed. At this point, perception only exists as a part of imagination and can become the inspiration for a new invention or technique,or why not a theory.That is the basic definition of imagination.
       It is also a known fact that hallucinogenic drugs, hypnosis,meditation (which can lead to self hypnosis) heighten the imagination.
       As I said in my "Theory of Relativity" post,we take for granted what our receptors(our "sensors") show us.But when the line between imagination and reality is crossed due to drugs or other factors which change the brain chemistry than it's called psychosis.
       Imagination can be so real that it hurts for real,we can hurt others not only ourselves,either by using drugs which distort reality or by imagining the wrong things like war and death and disease.

The "Big and Mighty" Theory

     Take a couple of small infants, a nutty professor and a bunch of his colleagues, some cartoons and a TV set and what do you get? Well a psychological experiment.Lotte Thomsen,who is assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Psychology and his research fellow in Harvard's Department of Psychology, is the lead author of the article "Big and Mighty: Preverbal Infants Mentally Represent Social Dominance."

     According to Thomsen's research, this potentially instinctive knowledge in infants could indicate the fact that we are all born with an understanding of the social hierarchy and how physical size relates to social dominance. Logic right?

The Theory of a Typical Mind

        
       Have you ever stepped back to look at what you are doing just to realize that you missed something?Well there are people who don't need to do that.

      What is a "typical mind",well there are people who think everything step by step.I'm not one of them although I'd wish,I have a friend though who's thinking like this.Everything is well measured,no detail is missed,everything that needs to be done,well ...basically it's done.

     I don't think like that,I see the finish product,I revise what needs to be done in order to get to the end but for certain I miss a couple of steps on the way.Usually I have to write down every step that I have to take ,and sometimes I even forget to write down all the steps.

     No,not everyone does that.There are people who,well I just guess that they think slower in order to compensate having to do thorough work.And it's not only experience and repetitive actions which are the cause of this,no, there are some people who actually think like that.

How about a real theory for once

      
      Beer's Theory,actually called Beer's Law : "The law states that there is a logarithmic dependence between the transmission (or transmisivity), T, of light through a substance and the product of the absorption coefficient of the substance, α, and the distance the light travels through the material (i.e. the path length), ℓ. The absorption coefficient can, in turn, be written as a product of either a molar absorptivity of the absorber, ε, and the concentration c of absorbing species in the material, or an absorption cross section, σ, and the (number) density N of absorbers".(quote from Wikipedia).

      In short Beer's Law is not about drinking alcohol and it's used mostly in spectrophotometry, for example in medical laboratories there are plenty of analyzers that have technical principles based on this law. I remembered it while doing a research and made me smile,the most normal thing I could think of lately, compared to all the  things that pop into my head almost every day (I am referring to the content of this blog).

The "fountain of youth" Theory

    
      Many people confuse the "eternal youth" idea with immortality.That is wrong; the "eternal youth" concept refers to being/feeling young until the day you die.The modern conception of the fountain of youth is the discovery of the gene that causes old age.

     For those of you who don't know this yet ,yes old age is a disease itself caused by a gene or more. The discovery of this gene and thus rendering it inactive would probably offer eternal youth.

The Theory of the Mirror

            According to scientists, we are the only living creatures that are self aware; no animal that looks in the mirror would realize that it's just a reflection of it's own being(except some primates like chimpanzees).Some say that mirrors are a gateway to one's soul,and if animals according to the Bible have no soul than that only explains why they don't see themselves in the mirror(except the chimpanzees ,hmm I think Darwin had something there ).

        How often do we look in the mirror and see our real selves? We look at us everyday but when do we see beyond our faces,our body,when do we look at our soul? The scariest moment in my life was the first time that I looked in the mirror and realized that I am.... me.(funny that happened pretty late, I think I was 12-13 or so)Have I seen my soul? I don't know, but for sure it was more than just a reflection of my body.It's like an outer body experience without meditating or going into clinical death,and it provided me with the idea of individuality.I am ME.

The Theory of Sex

     While "google"-ing certain theories in order to try and not post what others already stated and thus lose my individuality , I thought to type in "theory of sex", just for the heck of it.  For my effort the gods of Google search gave me this phrase on top of the list: "A third theory is that sex evolved as a form of cannibalism".... WOW !!!

     I knew that symbiosis evolved as a form of cannibalism and this is the reason why today we have mitochondrial DNA as separate DNA from the nucleus but sex evolving from cannibalism? 

     No doubt sex ended in cannibalism for a lot of species ,but thinking that we have sex because a billion years ago some cell thought it was kinky not to digest the whole DNA molecule of another cell that is pure win.

The Theory of Nothing

      I bet if you would try to imagine "nothing", it would look like an empty dark or white space. The thing is you can't imagine "nothing" like you can't imagine a line or a dot. In theoretical mathematics a line is a shape with only length and a dot has no dimensions. Some say if your mind could focus even for a fraction of a second on only one thing,that thing would actually materialize. Well that's a lie,I keep thinking about money all the time and that never happened.

       In the end it's funny how mankind tries to figure out the Universe,the Multiverse,how it tries to imagine God and Heaven and Hell, when it can't even imagine "nothing".
