I didn't really have any idea how to name this first post so the first thing that popped in my head was flinged down there. Ah well, since this blog is no more than a trashdump for my thoughts, crazy ideas and stuff like that, I don't need structure anyway.
Thus, moving on the important part of this first post, I was having this idea of applying logic to the idea of darkness and light. Meaning the idea of darkness actually, because technically, there is no darkness. It's just the absense of light, which makes 100% darkness the absolute zero for light, just like there is an absolute zero for temperature. It occured to me that people have much more difficulty grasping the idea of light being the only factor in the idea of light and darkness, than understanding that cold is the absense of heat, not an energy in itself. I am still wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that we can't shut out the effect of warm as well as we can shut out the light. Moving along, understanding is accepting and accepting is not necessarily understanding. Thus people can accept this and go along with it without actually understanding it. Which is where my thoughts turn to religion: does this cerebration apply to such concepts as religion as well, considering it acts as a solution for most religious people, a universal solution to accept the facts beyond their understanding. Does the decision to not chase the facts but accept whatever presents itself lie in their mental capacity or is it a more specific aspect of the human psyche that triggers this accepting other than trying to understand? Maybe in due time I'll come back to this question, but for now, I think its important to reflect on the connection I just made: physics-cerebration-religion. If anyone reads this stuff that is my cerebration, feel free to post yours on the subject.
