I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Brain Washing Observation

Think pink
The other day I read an article on social media about pink being used in prisons to calm down prisoners. The article claimed that the prisoners were less violent and stressed when the cells were painted pink.
In the Simpsons cartoon, the sitting room and dining room of the Simpsons house is painted pink and they also have a painting of a boat in placid water. I consider myself to be boat heading for placid waters myself and that is how I define myself. The boat heading for placid water.
Would it be a bad idea if I bought a pink lamp? Would pink light or pink paint make me a less stressed person? I don't know but I pay attention to official research.

Blind and colour
It turns out I'm not the only guy in the world that questions reality.
Jim Carrey seems to be onto something and David Icke is convinced we are living in a distorted world that is controlled by Reptile like humanoid beings.
I watch David Icke's videos from time to time. I don't agree with everything he says but his conferences are very interesting. I remember once he said that we can't see most frequencies of light, I think this is very true. I put our blindness down to the size of the cone and rod cells in our retinas, they are only about 500 micrometers across. The cells must be able to touch both sides of a light wave to detect it, so this means that only light waves that are close to the 500 micrometer diameter of the cells can be detected by them. Well. Infra red light waves are still very narrow but they are much bigger than the cells so they can't be seen. Ultra violet light waves are smaller but they can't pass through the lense of your eyes. With radio waves, forget it. They go from 1 mm to thousands of kilometers.
This leaves me with one big question. If we could see all the wave lengths of light, would our brains assign colours to them? Are there more colours beyond the red and violet that no person has seen? ( I spell colour the English way).
Also
Do our brains all assign the same colours to the different frequencies of light. Is my reds someone else's green? How would you describe the colours that you see?

Heatwave Eclipse
Yesterday there was a partial eclipse, I think about 90% of the sun was covered. Fifteen hours later the following day we were in a heatwave...
