Protobiology, Time, the difficulties of knowing where to talk about this stuff.

I doubt that will make any more sense but it’s not an easy to comprehend subject. It’s been my obsession as a hobby for decades really.. bridging the gap between Time and the small scale from a subjective POV. QM was never fully satisfying in that department – too “head in the clouds”. Feynman being an exception of course. I never thought to look towards biology – and his use of basic linguistics to explain the phenomenon is brilliance.

The author is Koichiro Matsuno who single handedly INVENTED the _entire field_ of Protobiology in the late 1980s and changed the course of medical science and evolutionary biology entirely.

The thing is, its protobiology. Biology and physics speak different languages. This guy? Bridging the gap from a practical biological point of view and … they’re actually _using_ his ideas to do stuff. It’s not theory. His stuff is real. We don’t hear about it because it’s in the realm of industry, medical science and the like and in today’s age, if it ain’t theoretical physics, it ain’t “Science”. We’re short-changed in our Science educations in a big way.. but that’s a rant that belongs elsewhere. Anyway, this probably belonged elsewhere but honestly, Science forums are all about Hawking and Einstein, Psychology forums would get all “what-about-the-human”.. I suppose Engineering forums might work. They’d ‘get it’… or Philology. It’s all forms of philosophy (this Time stuff anyway) but philosophy utilizing linguistics isn’t everyday fare for forums like these. Anyway, hope this helps a little, Tony Draper and thanks for challenging me on this. It helped me clarify my thoughts a *lot* and deepened my understanding of the subject matter by challenging me to explain, re-explain and re-explain in a few different ways. The only real way to know if you know something is if you can teach it, or attempt at least, and I can now. So, thanks grin emoticon
