A New Format for the Site
November 27th, 2005 | 2 Comments »The reader will have noticed the new, more intelligible, format designed by Bert Mahoney for the site replacing the rather crude layout that I, alas only a poor physicist, was able to cobble together. The chief problem it seemed to me was that, with the chronological addition of ideas (under “Additional Thoughts” and now termed “Comments”), those that I considered of greater significance disappeared “down the queue” receding into the distant past and would probably have been missed by the reader. An attempt to solve this problem has been the addition of “Archived” Comments by year of entry…but this still doesn’t completely solve the problem. What I will do in future Comments is to spotlight the “important old” and provide a link to them. I hope this works!
The site is composed of the following separate thrusts and discussions: 1.) an explanation of the basic antenna/geometric premise for light interaction with the retina addressed generally to the biological element of vision science, 2.) discussion of the physics and/or optical image processing (i.e.,engineering) underlying the premise, and 3.) touching on the medical implications of the concept whenever I identify them, and, 4.) speculative discussion (the most fun!) of new lines of thought that seem to be made possible by the idea. These include thoughts on consciousness and the meaning of time. Using the Search function and pointing to: “consciousness”, “time” “quantum” or “Fourier” will lead to some of these.
I note in passing that I have found that there seems to be precious little physics discussion in contemporary vision science!

Looks good!
