Writing back and forth with friend and physicist, PK, he said to me, “Learning is the time rate change of understanding.” This is how you can visualize that definition as an equation. My questions are: How do I define/ quantify Understanding? How do I define/ quantify Time? If you have any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, conclusions, insight, or inspiration please send me an email!

A few days ago I was flying through Atlanta, Georgia on my way back to Brooklyn. On the descent we flew by downtown Atlanta. Looking out my window I noticed that the shape of the city skyline resembled the shape of a mountain range. For me, this was enough information to see a connection between city building and mountain building. I’m currently studying geology and urban planning to learn more. * The image is Atlanta, Georgia over Mt. McKinley (in Alaska).

Good word

Crepuscular

Pronunciation: cre·pus·cu·lar \kri-ˈpəs-kyə-lər\

A term used to describe some animals that are primarily active during twilight, that is at dawn and at dusk. The word is derived from the Latin word crepusculum, meaning “twilight.” Crepuscular is thus in contrast with diurnal and nocturnal behavior.

Also defined as:  1) of, relating to, or resembling twilight 2) occurring or active during twilight (e.g. crepuscular insects, crepuscular activity).

By way of Kirlian photogrphy, my friend Jav, took these beautiful photographs. Kirlian photography is a technique that allows the photographer to capture the energy field of an object (it is sensitive to the light coming from the object itself, as opposed to the light that is bouncing off the surface).

One of the images is arugula, one is a macadamia, and the other is a piece of watermelon. Can you tell which is which?

“ Logic means, simply, the art and method of correct thinking. It is the logy or method of every science, of every discipline and every art; and even music harbors it. It is a science because to a considerable extent the processes of correct thinking can be reduced to rules like physics and geometry, and taught to any normal mind; it is an art because by practice it gives to thought, at last, that unconscious and immediate accuracy which guides the fingers of the pianist over his instrument to effortless harmonies. Nothing is so dull as logic, and nothing is so important.
