"La Meccanica Quantistica è confusa e la coscienza è confusa, quindi forse sono la stessa cosa".

Cthulhu_and_R_lyeh.jpgCthulhu in his Kingdom: R'lyeh (Credits: Dominique Signoret)202 visiteCthulhu is a fictional creature created by American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
It is a semi-divine being of prodigious proportions and strength who resides in the lost city of R'lyeh, in a deathlike slumber, awaiting a favorable astral conjunction to awaken him. In the stories of the so-called Cthulhu Mythos, also known as the Cthulhu Mythos (a posthumous definition of Lovecraft's work and additions by many other writers), the author and his followers defined it as a blasphemous deity, worshipped by degenerate, savage, and mad populations, connected to the onset of nightmares, and whose cult involves atrocious human sacrifices. Cthulhu first appears in the story "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928).
Cthulhu is part of the complex mythology created by H. P. Lovecraft, which he attributed to a fictional manuscript (pseudo-biblium) known as the Necronomicon, compiled by the "mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred. Cthulhu is the chief priest of the Great Old Ones, abominable alien creatures who settled on Earth when life on Earth was still in its infancy. He arrived on Earth with his stellar offspring (the so-called "star-spawn of Cthulhu") and founded the legendary city of R'lyeh, where he was imprisoned (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) when the stars aligned correctly ("the stars come right").MareKromiumGiu 26, 2026

Voices.jpgBe careful, Man...293 visite"...This Society has no centers of power and possesses no type of organization in the terrestrial sense of the term, because, although individuals do exist in some physical, yet exotic, form, there is no such thing as "individual consciousness."
Each individual "participant" (it's an ugly expression, but it's the most appropriate in this context) of this Civilization exists only as a "part of a whole"; as a portion necessary, but not indispensable of a "greater body" to which he or she accedes and with which he or she merges and vanishes.
I do not know whether this type of psychological and social architecture is original or whether it somehow derived from a series of previous "organizational experiments."
I do not know whether it is a "choice" or a "necessity."
What I do know is that this Civilization has existed for at least twenty billion Earth years, and its "consciousness," if I may call it that, extends to the edges of this Universe.
Maybe even others."

Comparisons.jpgComparisons260 visiteSun - Earth: the average diameter of the Sun is about 1,392,000 km, almost 109 times larger than the Earth (12,742 km). This means that we could put 109 Earths side by side to match the diameter of our star.
Stephenson 2-18 - Sun: the largest known star compared to the Sun. We are talking about a radius of 2,158 solar radii (solar radius equals 696,340 km). If we were to place it at the centre of our Solar System, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Saturn, the lord of the rings.
Ton 618 - Stephenson 2-18: the largest known black hole compared to the largest star. Ton 618 has a diameter of 2606 astronomical units (1 astronomical unit is equivalent to the distance Earth - Sun or 150 million kilometres). To give a better idea, Saturn (used as a comparison before) is 10 astronomical units away from the Sun.
We are ants in the Universe!MareKromiumOtt 13, 2023

Andromeda.jpgIf our eyes were a CCD Camera... (Credits: Stephen Rahn - Tom Buckley-Houston)331 visiteThis is, of course, a photographic COMPOSITION, but the proportions are exact, and what we would see in the sky if the Andromeda Galaxy were bright enough, would be an object almost as wide as 7 full moons.
The Moon seen from Earth, in fact, occupies about half a degree in the sky. M31 on the other hand, over 2 million light years away, is over 3 degrees wide.MareKromiumOtt 08, 2023
