Ever wonder if the universe is trying to tell us something? What if the light all around us is hiding a mind-blowing secret? Light, it’s everywhere. It wakes you up, guides you home, and paints your world in color. But have you ever wondered if there’s more to it than meets the eye? What if the everyday glow we take for granted is whispering something extraordinary, something about the universe itself? In this eye-opening book, I dive into the mysteries of light and uncover something wild: Light’s 18 unique properties tell an incredible story about our Creator.  Sounds crazy, right? But stick with me. This information turned my world upside down. This isn’t about heavy science or preachy religion, it’s about seeing things differently.  Light reveals what’s hidden. It’s the ultimate truth-teller, showing what’s really there. I’m not here to convince you of anything. Whether you’re a skeptic, a dreamer, or just someone who loves a good “what if,” this book will pull you into a journey that connects the dots between the physical world and something bigger.  No PhD, or background in science, or faith required—just an open mind. Why read it? Because light is something we all get. It’s universal. And through its quirks, you might stumble onto answers to questions you didn’t even know you had. If you’re intrigued by seeing the universe in a new way, this book is a good place to start.

Cork is a unique material that offers several properties that are attractive for a number of applications. Harvested from the Quercus suber tree, cork is a soft biopolymer that is impermeable to water and most liquids. It possesses a very low thermal conductivity, which makes it useful for insulation. It is chemically resistant, and possesses a Poisson’s ratio that is close to zero, which means that it can be stretched or compressed with very little change to its radius. It is lightweight, fire-retardant, durable, and elastic. Cork consists mostly of a structural biopolymer called suberin. By copying this chemistry and the microstructure of cork, new materials can be designed that are useful for many applications.

🌪️ Vortex Generation of Trout 🐟 Trout have an ability to swim steadily in highly turbulent, fast moving water currents. They accomplish this by allowing the fast moving water to enter their mouth. The water then moves through ever-tightening chambers that are shaped to create a steady vortex of streamlined water that then moves out through their gills. In this way, the trout can stabilize its course through turbulent water flow. A company called Watreco has taken advantage of this design by using this as inspiration to engineer the Vortex Generator (shown below). This device takes in moving water at the inlet and directs it tangentially through narrow channels into a vortex generating tube containing an ever-narrowing diameter. This device can filter and remove gas bubbles from water. Particulate matter and gas bubbles tend to preferentially move through the center of the vortex field, which can easily be siphoned out from the rest of the water moving around the periphery of the tube. This device uses very little energy and requires no filters that need to be changed.

🩸 Helical Blood Flow ❤️ The study of blood flow in the aortic artery has demonstrated that the geometry of the vessel walls causes the blood to flow in a helical fashion 🧬rather than in a straight line. Studies have shown that this helical design causes better mixing and delivery of oxygen and other metabolites to the artery wall, better removal of waste products, reduction in the development of atherosclerosis, and resistance to disturbed blood flow. 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 Scientists are using this information to inspire better designs for artificial vessels and stents. In addition, this information can assist with the design of pipelines with improved water flow.

🌌 Terzan 4 is a globular cluster of stars located in the constellation Scorpius, about 23,500 light-years from Earth. It sits close to the center of the Milky Way, where dust and gas make it difficult to observe in visible light. Terzan 4 may have experienced several close interactions with other clusters as it moves through the galaxy, affecting its structure. Infrared and space-based telescopes, such as Hubble, have made it possible to study this cluster more clearly and learn more about the Milky Way. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” Psalm 19:1-4

Retatrutide phase 3 obesity trial just came out and the results are genuinely insane: - 28.3% bodyweight lost on 12mg over 80 weeks - 70.3 pounds on avg. or 31.9 kg - 45.3% of patients hit 30%+ weight loss (this is bariatric surgery territory) - 30.3% weight loss (85 lbs) at 104 weeks in higher-BMI patients - 65.3% of 12mg patients dropped below the obesity BMI threshold - 19% loss on 4mg over 80 weeks (47.2 lbs) with fewer dropouts than placebo (4.1% vs 4.9%) - significant drops in blood pressure, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol, waist circumference, and hsCRP - no cardiac or liver signals Retatrutide is going to completely overshadow tirzepatide and semaglutide, and take the throne as the best-selling drug of all time.

In this book, I demonstrate how light, space, matter, time, and energy possess a unique signature that lead us to the identity of our Creator. amazon.com/Author-Light-R…

🎹 🎶 This is a song I wrote on piano titled “Cosmic Dance”. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” - Psalm 19:1-4

Bird Lungs Birds possess an extremely efficient air exchange system in their lungs. It’s necessary for birds to be more efficient at gas exchange because of the increased demand for energy per unit body mass. To maximize the delivery of oxygen and exchange of carbon dioxide, their respiratory cycle is divided into 4 steps (2 inhalation and 2 exhalation). This sequence, combined with the compartmentalized structure and plumbing of the lungs, enables the air to flow over the air exchange surfaces in the same direction for both inhalation and exhalation. The lungs consist of posterior and anterior air sacs, and a network of a parabronchi that connect both air sacs. The parabronchi is where air exchange takes place with the blood. Air is moved from chamber to chamber in an ordered succession during both inhalation and exhalation such that the air is always moving over the parabronchi in the same flow direction, even though air is reversing its direction in the trachea between cycles. In mammalian lungs, the air direction reverses during inhalation and exhalation. Also, in this design, the entire contents of air in the lungs is emptied upon exhalation, and no new incoming air is mixed with old air. This feature is also in contrast with mammalian lungs which mix new and old air during each breath. In addition, the internal surface area where air exchange takes place is incredibly large, which maximizes exchange efficiency. These features are all due to the unique mechanical design and the plumbing of the lungs. Scientists can replicate this overall strategy to design more efficient heat exchange and gas exchange systems.

Fractal Geometry of DNA The 6 billion bits of information that comprise the DNA in our cells is approximately 6 feet long. This 6 feet of DNA in each of our cells is folded up and compacted into a microscopically-sized nucleus. If all of the DNA in our entire body was unwound and connected end-to-end, it would stretch 34 billion miles, or 1.4 million times around the earth! Amazingly, this DNA doesn’t get tangled or knotted up. This is especially amazing considering that all of the DNA must be unwound, copied, pulled apart, and re-compacted each time the cell divides. As impossible as this sounds, researchers have discovered the mechanisms that allow this to happen. First, the DNA is wrapped around perfectly shaped histone protein particles. These histone particles are then coiled up into helically shaped fibers, which are then folded and compacted into a special shape. Scientists found that the overall folding pattern is based on the geometric principles of a “fractal globule” (lower part of the image). The other option for this geometric arrangement is called an “equilibrium globule” (upper part of the image). An equilibrium globule would result in a high degree of tangling. A fractal globule is based on a principle in mathematics governed by fractal geometry. This type of geometry is based on shapes that repeat themselves at different length scales. This folding pattern allows the nucleus of each cell to possess an information density that is trillions of times higher than modern microchips. By copying these principles, more efficient methods of compacting fibers can be developed that increase density and that eliminate tangling.

The biophysics of the mantis shrimp is quite amazing. This shrimp has eyes that can detect circularly polarized light, a spring loaded smasher consisting of a hyperbolic paraboloid, and a helically oriented bio polymer composite with nano crystalline morphology that increases the strength of the hammer in the principal stress directions. This little guy is an engineering marvel.

💥 Autoimmune Conditions and our Microbiome Many autoimmune conditions are thought to arise from an unhealthy microbiome. These include rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and autoimmune liver disease. In addition, chronic inflammation of the body is linked to the microbiome. The exact molecular mechanism for this is not clear, but it’s well established that the microbiome is connected intimately to the programming of our immune cells at the gut-epithelial barrier. This interconnection is part of how our immune system learns to differentiate self from non-self. It is this proper differentiation which is failing in autoimmune disorders. A worldwide collaboration involving more than 40 scientists and three hospitals demonstrated a causal link between the gut microbiome and the immune system's ability to fight cancer. The microbiome is now known to play a major role in how our brains function through the “gut-brain” axis. This connection strongly controls our endocrine (hormone) system, and our mood. Scientists are becoming increasingly aware of the importance to create and maintain a healthy microbiome. This microbiome should provide and maintain integrity to the gut epithelial barrier, present our immune system with the right antigens, and produce the right mix of metabolites that give rise to the healthy function of our body. ***Even our ability to lose weight and keep it off is integrally connected to the health of our microbiome.***🤯 There probably isn’t an area of our health that isn’t affected directly by the health of our microbiome. This is is why it’s important to regularly take the proper mix of of prebiotics and probiotics, and eat the right types of foods. These practices help to maintain a healthy microbiome and promote the growth and diversity of good bacteria.
