Abstract thinking was not my forte.
Biology was my fascination.
Diversity of leaf structure was my first research item.
Frogs, toads, cockroaches, butterflies and dragon flies were my interests.
Fortunately or unfortunately I ended up in medicine and never delved into nature until well past 50.
Water plants and orchids were added to the long list.
But, all this started with simple observation.
In a glass bottle, I put a rolled up filter paper leaving just enough space for bean seeds to stick in. Soil in the middle and bit of water for moisture was my biosphere.
Sun, water, soil and air.
Presto!
A root, a shoot and a pair of leaves.
Invariably, leaves face the sun.
Never towards the center of earth which ever angle the bean seed is placed (erect, horizontal or at an angle,)
Roots toward the center of the earth.
Night and day cycle.
That is all.
Reality of nature.
It is not God that gives the signal.
It is all built in within the seed.
It is the mother earth that is in control of all life on this planet.
The earth is a living being.
Why are we destroying it with War?
Disregarding God and without abstract thinking, a little scientist was born.
He is still alive in me.
It is not a soul but it is little me.

Biology
Reality
Reality is simple.
Keen observation power is the only tool one needs.
I never had the dream of becoming a big or a successful guy.
I never wanted to fly to the moon or mars.
But I was fascinated by planes.
Getting in to plane and travel from Northern hemisphere to the Southern hemisphere was my dream.
Doing that on my own money not on a free scholarship was the simple game plan.
Airfares were cheap then, but after coronavirus epidemic airlines have unfairly jacked up the prices.
Even food prices have gone up including alcohol. After I have published the book on "Charms of Alcohol", I even refuse wine.
Beer was Rs.1.80/= as an undergraduate.
I even spirited King Coconut Wine in the distant past.
Reality is every godforsaken item has gone up in price.
All this due to Ukraine War and nobody blames Zelensky!
It is time to kick the bucket and say Hi to President Putin from heaven!
Reality and Abstract
My gut feeling was to stop blogging here well before US and Ceylon Elections.
Politicians are shoddy people and there followers are stupid to the core.
I have decided NOT to educate simple folks and let them live in their own delusional state.
Whereas, I do not want to give an inch to the politicians to hoodwink the masses with hope and bright economic outcome.
Let the politicians sink on their own mess.
Having said that, I deleted my long piece here to avoid misinterpretation of my own logic and reason by visitors here.
For example, a guy picked my "Uncertainty Principle" a physics reasoning of mine. This guy made YouTube presentation extending Uncertainty Principle on a metaphysical level. Metaphysics by definition is outside of the material world.
It was like tail wagging the dog.
If you read my piece on philosophy here on this blog post, the real philosophers work on abstract thinking and there is no limit to abstract thinking.
All religions are derived from abstract thinking. None of these religions can delve into reality.
Reality is simple but even rich guys like Elon Musk and Bronson take reality as an extension of abstract imagination.
Reality
1. We are one gravity people. We cannot neither live on space nor on Mars.
By the way, Mars do not have plate tectonics and rock formation. It has a thick mantle.
I am not sure if there is any water in its belly.
2. Without water man cannot survive.
70% of our brain is water.
60% of our body is water.
Infant 80%
Water intoxication and electrolyte imbalance are critical in new born babies.
Baby 70%
Man 60%
Woman 50
3. We are 24/7 people and any alteration in our sleep/awake cycle alter our melatonin secretion and biorhythm.
This leads to confusion and impair critical thinking.
4. Van Allan Belt is not narrow.
5. Even Moons atmosphere is alien to humans.
Its geostationary (we never see the darker side) orbit is not conducive for our melatonin secretion.
The bottom line is let only rich people spend their money on rockets and we ordinary people think of global warming and biodiversity.
