It's not really a visual illusion produced by human perception. Its the result of massive post processing of a digital image.
If it's not a human perception issue, how do you explain two groups of people in the same room, looking at the same picture, and strongly disagreeing about the colors ?
when you're working, can you do it in the middle of a concert hall?... or do you benefit from having a private room/ cubicle?
Depends on whether I'm a concert musician or a programmer, I guess.
a self-replicating process can sputter out if not restricted to it's own products
I also sputters out if it can't get rid of waste products, or does not get enough energy/building materials. These require a properly controlled transport mechanism through the cell wall.
If you just start with naked replicators, they can evolve to use a cell wall, and they can evolve to develop a transport mechanism. It limits the amount of things that need to spontaneously form, so it makes it more likely to happen.
then the rudmientary self-replicating processes also occuring naturally in that time period
Sounds like you have two very firsts steps then, the formation of a self-replicator, and the formation of these micelles, in arbitrary order. And it seems to me that the earliest replicators would benefit more from free interaction with the medium they're in, rather than being locked up in a sealed bubble.
If I need the web site of a church, I wouldn't try name-of-church.church, but I would just search for name-of-church in google. Who cares about the URL ?
Making a bag is much simpler than making a self-replicator. I don't know about you, but when I try to figure out if something is possible, I start with the hardest part.
And a large airplane traveling along at 500 miles per hour, which doesn't require 3,000 miles of dedicated hardware to travel through, is going to be far cheaper than buying a 3,000 mile strip of land and building a tube. across it.
Depends on how many total passengers over the lifetime.
I did. It's definitely blue. Not highly saturated blue, but blue nonetheless. It's certainly not white/grey.
Agreed, but white objects in the shade under a blue sky are usually blue. Look at the white snow under the trees, for instance. http://khongthe.com/wallpapers...
However, if your brain doesn't process the context of the photo
I did notice the overexposed background, and I interpreted as a picture taken of a white/gold dress in the shade against a sunny background with a blue sky.
NASA had only 38% certanity that 2014 was hotter by 0.024 degrees. How can they be only 38% sure?
Never heard of measurement error bars ? Other years have them too. If you sort all the years by probability they were the hottest, then 2014 remains at the top.
Then I read another story about people researching past records that have been horribly manipulated
And you liked that story so much that you decided to believe it ?
Slashdot Mirror
If they were sinkholes, there wouldn't be ejecta around the crater edge. Something must have exploded.

If I am looking for Foobar Inc's website, and I see www.foobar.com, I can be pretty sure that is legitimate
Maybe legitimate, but there may be 10 companies in the world called 'foobar', so you still don't know if you've got the right one.

making a micelle was the very first step in creating life
What was making the micelle ?
Maybe Musk thinks you can build a tube for less than $1422/inch ?

Do you bother to vote?
I don't. The possible difference caused by a single vote does not outweigh the trouble of participating.
But that's not what this is about. It's about two groups of people seeing different things when looking at the same picture.
Making a shell is nice, but that's hardly the most fundamental aspect of life.
And then there's the Netherlands, with 27% of the country below sea level, including some major cities and industrial areas.
okay, okay, but what colors do you see ?
The new part is actually building it and trying it out.

This article wants you to worry about hundreds of years in the future. We can expect technological progress to continue to improve things for us
I expect us to be dead, then.
I have exactly the same, except I can not get it to look blue/black.

That doesn't explain why two people looking at the same photo swear they see totally different colors.
It means the concentration of CO2 in everybody's lungs is at least 40,000 ppm. So people blaming their "ailments" on 600ppm is complete BS
Global warming is not an ailment. It is also not affected by CO2 in your lungs. Please tell me you're not really that stupid.
lol @ wordpress link.
Lol @ attacking the messenger. Here's the source:

That wasn't so hard. The graphs even say "NASA".
If you look at the data you will find we have been flat for the last 20 years
Bullshit. The temperatures have not deviated from the same trend established in the decades before that.
