Much of reality is invisible to man

 Most of physical reality is invisible to us, according to science. 95% of the cosmos may be forever beyond our ability to sense or detect it. Our eyes detect light within a narrow range of 380-770 nanometers, while our ears register sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. Beyond these limits, ultraviolet and infrared light remain invisible, and ultrasonic or infrasonic sounds go unheard. Yet, these unseen and unheard frequencies exist all around us, influencing nature and our bodies in ways we may not realize. From radio waves to deep-sea whale calls, countless signals move through the air and environment, unnoticed by human senses. Modern technology, like infrared cameras and ultrasonic sensors, helps bridge this sensory gap, revealing an unseen world filled with vital information. Still, what else might we be missing? For example, neutrinos are abundant subatomic particles that pass through almost everything — including our bodies — and only very rarely interact with matter. And we have...

On the evolution of the University of Nigeria over the years

The University of Nigeria has indeed come a long way from its inception in 1960 as the first indigenous university in Nigeria. Beginning as a single campus at Nsukka, the Enugu Campus was included several years later. Recently it has expanded even further with the additional location at Ituku-Ozalla where the prestigious College of Medicine is located, adjacent to the new site of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital. It is hoped that the Enugu and Ituku-Ozalla Campuses will witness development to par (if not exceed) the level at the Nsukka Campus. This challenge, the current University administration is more than capable of overcoming, even in the face of dwindling funding from the Federal Government. As a proud alumnus of the University, one has a special attachment and desire to contribute one's best to teaching, learning and research activities in the institution. To excel is a continuous task.

Today November 9, 2017 is celebrated as World Freedom Day.

Today November 9, 2017 is celebrated as World Freedom Day. Here at BrainWave, we wish to focus on what it really means to be free. Who is free? Free from what? Are there degrees of freedom? Is true freedom free or does it come at a price? Freedom does not connote a freedom from responsibilities and duties. ‘’Emancipate yourself from mental slavery’’ – so sang late Bob Marley in the last century. I imagined he was especially speaking to blacks all around the world. Look around at Nigeria and the condition of its peoples. Take a cursory glance at the headlines and commentaries on news channels and social media. What are the trending issues? What matters trouble the leaders – political, religious, traditional etc? What are the supposed elites, intellectuals and middle class obsessed with? Maybe tithes? 2019? Cows? Politics without humanity? Or are we bothered at our retrogression more than half a century after supposed political freedom from the colonialists...
