The signifigance of space






The question of why space holds our interest? 
We do have some challenges, which are quite local in nature.

The concept of infinity can be overwhelming for the average individual. Through discussions with space scientists, I've come to understand that beyond our daily reality, there exists another realm governed by physical laws and life that transcends our everyday experience.

Space exploration has traditionally been conducted through the lens of physics, which is pervasive in our daily lives. However, we conduct research on various aspects of our daily lives using a variety of lenses. Why shouldn't we explore space through new lenses? Why do we consistently limit ourselves to a narrow perspective?

Space is a relative entity

Consider the observable universe we currently know, which encompasses only 5% of the total cosmic expanse. The remaining 95% is attributed to dark matter and dark energy. We have limited knowledge of what we can observe, let alone what lies beyond our reach. This unexplored reality undoubtedly exists, yet we lack the tools to fully explore it. It's possible that our current methods of exploration are flawed, or perhaps we are asking the wrong questions.


During a podcast, the idea of reassessing our questions using a novel approach was introduced. Instead of asking "how" the universe accelerates, we might ask "what is the motivating factor behind this acceleration?" This question arises from the understanding that nature does not act without purpose. Why does our universe need to expand at an accelerating rate? Analogies in the observable universe can provide insights into this phenomenon. Identifying the driving force behind the expansion of the universe is crucial.


Moving on to the next topic


The concept of envisioning the future is a captivating idea and a natural human desire.

When we observe our surroundings, we are essentially looking at history because light must travel a distance to our eyes and minds before we can comprehend the scene before us. This makes it impossible to directly observe the future.


However, there is one potential way to glimpse the future. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine. My thoughts were confirmed by a space scientist I had the privilege of listening to. He emphasized the vast potential for imaginative exploration and theory-building in the realm of space. Without imagination, we remain confined to the history that we observe around us.

wanna ask about meters? instead ask about intelligence

the transformation from passive audiences to active communities in every energy revolution, the first barrier isn’t technology—it's imagination. when we first talked about vehicle-to-grid (V2G), people said it was impossible. when we integrated predictive models for wind and thunderstorms and their impacts, it was laughed at. today, we stand at a similar frontier with autonomous robotics and truly intelligent energy communities, and once again, we hear the familiar chorus of skepticism, often focused on a single, outdated question. "but how can you trade energy without a certified meter on every wall?" it’s a valid question, but it’s rooted in the past. it’s like asking how a car can navigate without seeing the horse in front of it. it misses the entire point of the paradigm shift. the future of energy isn't about hardware; it's about collective intelligence. the old world vs. the new: the power of the digital twin the old world relies on isolated data points. a s...

building systemic positive change to support humanity

the suggested idea is that the elements of organizational learning and change described by Senge such as systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning can best be realized and lead to sustainable change when they acknowledge and support people's fundamental needs at the various levels of Maslow's hierarchy. to understand our behaviour in the face of transformations unlike never before seen, it is beneficial to do some cross checking about thema. The objective is to achieve a smooth intersection in between these two theoretical and also most practical entities.  basic needs and psycological safety and security when a community is undergoing significant change (e.g., through automation and digitalization), people's basic need for security (job security, livelihood, predictability) can be threatened. systems thinking helps in understanding the broader impacts of the change and planning it so that basic security is maintained or even impro...

unlocking the door to web3

in 2017, bookmarked a webpage that piqued my interest. although it took several years before i could give it proper attention, never considered removing it from my favorites. my curiosity about high-tech and the unique content kept my interest alive. the webpage and its content, with all its peculiar creatures and drawings, struck me as somewhat naive. yet, it was also different, and i was curious about the individuals behind it. they were mostly young adults with a high-tech orientation, and their idealism was reflected in their work. they seemed to be building a new world and society with a fresh perspective that was unfamiliar to my generation. initially, it was the icon that intrigued me. its shape resembled a diamond, but with an imperfect, unpolished structure. the ecosystem's interface was particularly striking; it presented a purely digital landscape, devoid of any human representation or reflection of reality. this was digitization in its purest form. i had been searching...
