”Black oil” theme in Simberg's portrait "Looky"


"Looky"
Hugo Simberg
(1885)


Kimmo Huosionmaa


Do you remember the series ”X-files”? There is often a theme, of ”Black oil”. An alien organism, what transforms the people as an alien. That black oil was group the mushroom-like neurons, what was slipped in the human body, and take it under control. This theme of ”Black oil” is also in many portraits, what are painted in Finnish national romantic era. The "Black oil" symbolizes also the bad feelings and thoughts, what fills the head of the person, and we must say that thoughts are the operating system of human being. They are actually, what the people really are, and they are things that control our behavior.



That theme is in the Hugo Simberg's portrait ”Looky”, from our national gallery. In some cases the investigator makes this painting look like little bit humorist. Somebody seems in this painting a character, what sits on the anthill, and waits for something. But the most modern rendition of this painting would be that the droplets of ”Black oil” are moving on the person's skin, and looks for change, to slip in the body. In that painting is the character, what looks like the little bit different than a normal person, and maybe Simberg mentioned, that this character is forced to do, what he does. And if somebody forces another person sit in the anthill in the real world that causes very much hate in the person's mind. That person wants to revenge things, what is done to him.


In this case, the black oil might mean the bad thoughts, what is easily take control of the human mind, if a person faces troubles in the life. The symbolism of the ”Black oil” is sometimes very symbolic. It is that if the person only thinks bad things, and only thing what are talking in that social circle is negative, the negative things would change the person's mind negative.



Bad feeling and bad memories, what are the combination of negative friendships transfer ourselves, negative persons. If our mind is full of hate, and we are looking always the revenge, we will transform the people who we don't want to be. We don't want to be bad, is always the normal way to think. But if the person is full of hate, would this person transform the thing, who hates other people.



The hate is normal in people mind. But when we are thinking about this thing, we don't have to cover that thing. If the hate doesn't erupt, it would stay in our mind. And that is the dangerous thing because it fills our mind. And this would cause the terrible situation. But when we are handling hate, we sometimes face the thing, that we would let it erupt. The traditional way to let the hate erupting is to go to Forrest, take an ax and spill some trees. When that thing is done in many times, that would make the mind free from hate.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
