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

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?
