PHOTOSYNTHESIS is one of the crowning achievements of life on this planet, and provides clean fuel powered by just sunlight and water for most of the life forms on earth. This elegant mechanism is also remarkably adapted by various plant forms into variants. It is our challenge as humans to find cost-effective ways to employ this exquisite machinery to provide our clean fuel needs. A former initiative between the US and Japan needs to be revived. It is a project that needs scale, funding and national prioritization. " " http://lnkd.in/NHzN_5 View in LinkedIn

CAN WE HARNESS DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY? "Roughly 68% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the Universe." http://lnkd.in/HMUu8X View in LinkedIn

IS THE HIGGS BOSUN the source of dark energy in the universe? Recent research suggests this may be possible, but the hunt continues. Effectively, we do not understand 95% of the fabric of our universe, cannot measure it, and are grasping for explanations. This is the astonishing fact of our profound ignorance.

IF SUNLIGHT is just a fraction of the total energy in our local universe, it would seem strange that life forms, in their ingenious complexity and variability, have not found ways to tap this energy source. Photosynthesis appears biochemically simple, and quite well described, but we are having a tough time harnessing or replicating the Green Machine. Are we missing something in the details?

PAGEMARKER IN TIME: there are almost no speculations in the endlessly twittering web about the paradigm-shifting possibility of humans or life forms utilizing dark energy as a source of electrical or biological energy. This pagemarker is bright and curious, but assuredly of a finite lifespan. I hope that in my lifetime I will witness the new paradigm and all that it will entertain. View in LinkedIn
