When we think that something is ordinary, that thing can be very extraordinary.





When we think about things like material we might think that is the most common thing in the universe. The fact is that only we see only about 15% of the universe. And 85 % of the material is invisible to us. So if 15% of the material is visible we must realize that the most common thing in the universe is invisible. And the universe what we see is the very extraordinary thing.

If we are transferring this idea to sociology we are facing an illusion. We believe that all people are similar to us. And that thing brings another illusion to our minds. 

We believe that we are common people. If we make some developing works in some company we believe that every worker in the work-life is a developer. There is the possibility that we know only other developers in our workplace. And that thing causes a certain illusion to us. 

If we are members of some MC club we might believe that all people are members of those MC clubs. We think that some Harley Davidson is the most common hobby in the world. So we are forming our social network from people who are similar to us. There is the possibility that some biker knows only other bikers. 

Another thing is that we are selecting our company from people like us. That's the shame. The thing is that this thing makes our environment monotonic. That thing means that there is no room for other opinions. That makes the environment poor. And when we need many different ideas people who are thinking as we think are causing those ideas are turning similar.

Of course, that thing can seem nice. But when we are innovating something there is needed many different ideas. If every person has the same ideas. That makes the idea of the meeting one-sided. The idea in innovation meetings is to develop new things. And in that process, the focus should be on clients. The users of the application make their choice. They buy the product. And that means there should be a representative of the potential customers in the development team. 

Because we are all similar people in our workplace, we forget who we are creating things. The most common mistake in that process is we are starting to make the product for ourselves. We forget the point of view of the user. When adults are making toys as an example. They are making toys from the point of view of adults. 

They believe that children are mini-size adults. And when adults like something, children like that thing too. Same way when people are developing the things like mobile telephones and something like that. They sometimes forget the conditions where the user uses those products. 

When the person makes things like user interfaces they forget one thing. The developer who is working with that kind of thing certainly finds the right things at the right moment. For the person who is made those user interfaces is easy to find things. Especially when our person is sitting at laboratory or office everything goes right. But have you ever been in a situation where you must buy a bus ticket one minute before the bus is coming in rainy or freezing weather?

The thing is that when the ICT developers are making their job they sometimes forget so-called ordinary people. Their customers might be highly trained people like medical doctors and lawyers. 

Those people can be the most well-educated persons in the world. But they are not ICT specialists. And there is the possibility that when we must find some application in rainy and dark weather, we are in a different situation than the person who tests those things in laboratories.

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...
