I have a new question the answer for which I can search. Electromagnetic waves in Nature vary continuously in frequency from x-rays to microwaves. However we can see only a tiny fraction of the whole. The question is: Why have we evolved to see only such a tiny fraction of the Electromagnetic radiation. If we were able to see the entire spectrum we would be blinded by the cosmic radiation which flows through our eyes every instant of time. Our eyes automatically filter out the most prevalent of the rays and leaves the remainder for us to use to ponder the Universe. What is it about the detection system in our eyes which limits the portion of the spectrum we can see so drastically? The answer? I don't know. It isn't resonance somewhere because resonance could not explain both the long and short wave radiation with a hole in the middle. Which indicates it might be absorption somewhere by something to be determined. I leave the determination of the triviality to the the reader.
Conundrums are proof that we're all on this flight together.
