”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.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter.

There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
