A reflection on what is right

"In other words, ｒules which judge what is right is not something which has been already existed.  These has been constructed by us. We have been like that, and will be so in the future." ※　This is a translation of my reply to my friend's correction. ※ You can add all "our" ancestors originated from Africa and non-humans into "us" and "we."

Susanoo slaying the Yamata no Orochi, by Toyohara Chikanobu.

 In Japanese mythology, Susanoo, the powerful storm of Summer, is the brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the Sun, and of Tsukuyomi, the god of the Moon.

 Yamata no Orochi , translated as the Eight-Forked Serpent in English, is a legendary 8-headed and 8-tailed Japanese dragon that was slain by the Shinto storm-god Susanoo.  After expulsion from Heaven, Susanoo encounters two "Earthly Deities" near the head of the Hi River, in Izumo Province. They are weeping because they were forced to give the Orochi one of their daughters every year for seven years, and now they must sacrifice their eighth, Kushi-inada-hime ...

Fabian Oefner is a photographer who likes to make science visible, whether that is through visualizing sound waves with tiny crystals, creating nebulae-like images from lamps, or using a drill to photograph the movement of paint within a millisecond.

At TEDxWarwick, he spoke about his work, which includes the amazing photos of soap bubbles bursting seen above. From his talk:

What I do in my work is try to mix art and science together — whether it is an image of a soap bubble that is photographed at the very moment of its bursting, or whether it is strange liquids that form into pop-art-like structures, or if its acrylic paint that is modeled by centrifugal forces, I’m always trying to link art and science together.

We come across [things like magnetism and sound waves] in our daily lives quite often — and most of the time we don’t pay too much attention to them…I try to take these phenomena and show them in a poetic and in an unseen way and therefore invite you, the viewers, to stop for a moment and think about all the magic and the beauty that is constantly surrounding us.

Your mind is not a cage. It’s a garden. And it requires cultivating.
