Quantum Light

This painting tells a story from a quantum look.Quantum comes from a Latin word to describe a packet or package of energy. The unit of energy inside the atom . The whole universe is a quantum mirage, winking in and out of existence millions of times per second.At the quantum level the cosmos is like a blinking light. Quantum flashes are too rapid for us to register so our brains play a trick on us seeing solid objects as solid and continuous in time and space.In the animal kingdom some nervous systems are much faster and some are much slower . A snails neutrons pick up signals from the outside world so slowly, for example any event faster than 3 seconds would not be perceived. In other words if a snail was looking at an apple and i quickly reached in and snatched the apple away the snail would not have detected my hand . It would be as if the apple disappeared right before the snails very eye's . Another example is in the creation of a movie,a movie consists of twenty-four still pictures flashing per second, with twenty four gaps of blackness as each frame is taken away and a new one put in its place.But since our brain cannot perceive forty-eight stop motion events in one second, the illusion of the movie is created. Speed this up by many powers of ten and you get the trick of the movie we call real life. We exist as flashing photons with a black void in between each flash- the quantum light show comprises our whole body, our every thought and wish and every event we take part in. In other words we are being created over and over again all the time. At the quantum level nothing of the material world is left intact. If you look around you everything you see including your self is in actual fact at a deeper level invisible vibrations taking place in a void. Within an atom scientist have revealed that there is 99.999 percent empty space. what is within this empty space,to perceive and be it is to be enlightened to the truth. This is in dedication to the all and the nothing.I hope you enjoy the painting.

I love the contrast in this piece. The touches of color really lead the eye through your story.
