I want contact lenses that not only see our usual spectrum of visible light, but which can also distinguish ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. The spectrum should be selectable by the wearer. As a bonus, it would be nice if the lenses allowed expanding our visible light range in both wavelength directions.

A scientist is investigating coloration changes in octopi. (Science News, May 28, 2016, page 23 included in article called Strange Visions) Says:

Exposure to light can trigger waves of yellow and brown even in bits of skin completely detached from the octopus -- no connection to brain needed!!

He digs into the phenomenon to see if there is a distance limitation.

Events lead him to conclude the octopus is a digital construct whose program doesn't generate effects to a highly exacting precision. Leads him on quest to find out if there are more examples of "flaws" in other real-world perceptions.

Just entered the world of Looney Tunes.

For several reasons, I decided to peek in at the CERN Open Portal on the Net. CERN operates the Largte Hadron Collider in Switzerland. The stuff I found there is enough to explode one's brain! You can not only see actual data the machine generates, but you can break down which machine (there are four massive detectors with different jobs) you want to peruse. This site allows anyone to look at data being generated. Just like the scientists who run it.

Anyway, the complexity of the tools the site offers made me interested in learning more about the collider and, if lucky, that individual detectors and what they do in regular people language.

I jumped onto uTube to see what might be available after finding nothing on NetFlix (other than "Particle Fever," a documentaty on the discovery of the Higgs Boson and my favorite documentary of all time) or Amazon Prime, and that's when I jumped into the rabbit's hole.

The first video was entitled "Urgent Alert This will affect everyone! MUST SEE

I jumped in figuring it was an update to the latest status of the machine (the largest, most complex machine mankind has ever build) only to find some guy in the woods having something very important to tell us which starts out with the deaths/not deaths of some celebrities. Got off of him pretty fast.

The second was called "CERN: Earthquakes & TOME TRAVEL ACCIDENTLY" Curious, I checked it out to find something being narrated by what sounds like a robot imitating a woman reader.

The third was "Here's what CERN is Not Telling You! What They Are Really Hiding" Mainstream media keeping stuff hidden from us. Apparently has a lot of evidence via the weather we're experiencing.

Evidently will have to look in other places.
