two thoughts: i do this drive-by shot maybe four times a week and never get it centered. until today. i don't think that's meaningful, just useful since i don't want to actually pull over in winter. so here we have another one of my over-used motifs. thought 2, entirely random, was that naming a tunnel after lincoln was pretty insulting if you compare it to the george washington bridge. driving thru the lincoln tunnel is like driving thru the port authority bathrooms, circa 1972. the only remotely awesome thing about the lincoln tunnel is that it was built under a river. well, maybe that's the answer. beauty is only river deep.
The alpha and the omega. Physicists have been working to develop the "holy grail" therory that mathematically explains the behavior of the universe from the very small - quantum level particles, to the massively large - galaxies, black holes and dark matter. String theory has moved the thinking beyond just the newtonian (large) and quantum (small) prior successes but there are still large gaps in their understanding and mathematical underpinnings have been elusive. Submittal for the October 19, 2020 Macro Monday’s theme of “String”.

Too cold outside for landscape photography and most of the snow has turned gray here in Stuttgart. So since it's too cold, I've been playing with light again. The image captured here reminded me of a physics class I once had: "if a pair of particles are generated in such a way that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a certain axis, the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, will be found to be counterclockwise, as to be expected due to their entanglement"..... I'll let you decide which one is clockwise and which is counterclockwise in the above image... :-) Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday! :-)

SELF-PORTRAIT AS SELF
What is the nature of the self? Today I saw
a coughing sheep but I don’t know if this sheds
any light on the question. I also saw a stallion
with a yard-long erection and a soft rain was falling.
The definition and locating of that self
can now begin. You open up your senses and language
flashes through your skull. You look at something and know
that you’re not that thing, although you can’t be
so sure of it since quantum physics proved
that a thing changes its form when it is observed
and the viewer defines the thing viewed. So that
the borders of that self suddenly become blurred.
It is found in everything you see and hear and feel
and taste. Should you then close off your senses
to keep this self as it were on board? But that would mean
that the one who no longer experiences anything
is the most his own self. Is our true nature
only revealed in a heap of ashes no one looks at any more

A shot that has sat on my hard drive waiting for me to spend 20 min processing it to remove the flare I got while stupidly using the 24-70 LOL.

A relatively recent discovery in the realm of physics, quantum entanglement is bizarre, eerie, mysterious, and seemingly magical. Albert Einstein shied away from the theory, calling it "spooky action at a distance." Since then, however, numerous experiments have confirmed this strange phenomenon. Basically, entangled particles can be separated from each other, over incredibly long distances--light years, in fact--and still mysteriously change when its partner is acted upon, almost as if there were an invisible umbilical cord connecting them. This seemingly conscious connection between entangled particles even occurs faster than the speed of light, a fact that made Einstein so leery about this possibility. The frontier of scientific discovery always has been a place of wonder, imagination, curiosity and delight, and never more so than in our time. This topic is very complex; this is only the most basic description of the phenomenon, and I am but an enthralled layman. That aside, it's incredibly fascinating--I suggest you take the time to learn a little about it! The ramifications of this discovery are very interesting--some even speculate that people can be entangled in a way, an incredibly fascinating ramification that only suggests something many of us believe anyway, though for different reasons.
Needless to say, the Universe is a big, strange and wonderful place.

Quantum foam or spacetime foam is the fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The idea was devised by John Wheeler in 1955. With an incomplete theory of quantum gravity, it is impossible to be certain what spacetime would look like at small scales. However, there is no reason that spacetime needs to be fundamentally smooth. It is possible that instead, in a quantum theory of gravity, spacetime would consist of many small, ever-changing regions in which space and time are not definite, but fluctuate in a foam-like manner.
Wheeler suggested that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle might imply that over sufficiently small distances and sufficiently brief intervals of time, the "very geometry of spacetime fluctuates". These fluctuations could be large enough to cause significant departures from the smooth spacetime seen at macroscopic scales, giving spacetime a "foamy" character.

This model shows a group of Freemen having found shelter out near an old and abandoned temple.
Another Quantum Lands model.
This was actually only built over the course of a day, which is quite something for me, considering it's my biggest finished model to date.
I had a lot of fun creating the ruined look. And trying to incorporate gold watch links. I also found it fun, but frustrating try out the leaf weaving technique, and yes I know I'm a few years late to that :P
Tree was inspired by some of Dan The Fan and LordGregory's models. Overall build was inspired by Markus Rollbühler. Statue by Stan Building.
