  1. Thank you for your quick response and although I don’t want to nit pick I would have to say that you were not quite accurate in your reply. The following is from wikepedia. The English philosopher Roger Bacon (1214 – 1294) was the first person to recognize that sunlight passing through a glass of water could be split into colors. Nearly four centuries later, Sir Isaac Newton coined the term “spectrum” to describe the rainbow of colors produced by sending sunlight through a prism. In 1666, he directed a beam of sunlight through a glass prism and noted the light from the Sun was composed of a continuous spectrum of colors. Newton was not equipped to study the spectrum and was unable to observe the spectrum in more detail. Later, using a telescope and prism, Newton viewed the light from Venus. Again, he noted the light contained a continuous spectrum. Newton’s work with spectral light was not broadly recognized, and little additional work on the nature of spectra was done for 150 years In 1860 Pietro Angelo Secchi became the father of Astrophysics. (Because he was a priest) He was a pioneer in astronomical spectroscopy, and was one of the first scientists to state authoritatively that the Sun is a star. Father Secchi made contributions to many areas of astronomy. However, his main area of interest was astronomical spectroscopy. He invented the heliospectrograph, star spectrograph, and telespectroscope. He showed that certain absorption lines in the spectrum of the Sun were caused by absorption in the Earth's atmosphere. Your reference to solar panels is also a little inaccurate. Solar chemical refers to a number of possible processes that harness solar energy by absorbing sunlight in a chemical reaction. The idea is conceptually similar to photosynthesis in plants, which converts solar energy into the chemical bonds of glucose molecules, but without using living organisms, which is why it is also called artificial photosynthesis. The Solar panel is completely different to this process, it does not have any chemicals in it to convert the energy; The Voltaic Cells only allows the movement of the sun’s rays to pass through to the battery and the battery is not a chemical driven power source, it is only a storage system as is said in that website (theparkesprinciple.com) However, my question was in relation to Evolution and the possible use of opposing electrical charges as the driving force for this event. The information I read about is on the Creating Life page and if anyone could tell me if it is possible I would really appreciate it. Thanks
  2. I was reading a website called theparkesprinciple.com and it talks about our senses are creating our own evolution with opposing electrical charges based on our contact with our environment. Could this be possible? Does this theory hold any value to Darwin's theory of evolution? I would appreciate any help with this. thanks
