Great masses of fireflies stretching out for miles all flashing light in perfect unison.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGvtnE1Wy6U\n\nUntil recently no one was able to explain how such vast numbers of these tiny insects were able to coordinate their displays in perfect synchrony without a conductor of any sort. In fact some prominent scientists of the early 1900’s insisted such a thing was ‘contrary to all laws of nature’, numerous articles were published in academic journals dismissing the phenomenon as nothing more than coincidence or illusion.\n\nUntil around 50 years ago when the pieces were put together by biologist John Buck who through observations and experiments showed that these fireflies not only flash in unison with each other but they do so to a constant tempo (of about 1 flash per second). Each insect is flashing to a beat using some form of internal clock and does so even when isolated. But when they congregate in groups these disparate underlining rhythms get pulled in to tune with those of its neighbours, each insects internal metronome is reset, rewound or advanced depending on where in its cycle it is when it observes another’s flash.\n\nAs this computer simulation shows, in the beginning each individual flashes along happily at its own pace, but as individuals perceive g the flashes of others , its own cycle is reset in time with it, either advanced or delayed, as time goes on, with vast numbers of rhythms all tugging on and being tugged by each other, slowly,  pockets of synchrony start to emerge, order from chaos, until eventually almost all individuals are lighting up in perfect time.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVZkBCMdbio&feature=youtu.be\n\nIts believed that they do this as a selective adaption to aid mating (makes males more visible to females, makes small groups appear larger and makes the females easier to spot in-between the flashes by reducing noise)",

      "body": "So what do inanimate objects, quantum particles, electricity, the planets, our own heart and brain cells all have in common? \n\nAwnser - Synchrony! \n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/hkr9nzi.jpg\n\nSynchrony is present throughout the heart and the whole of the universe \n\n or as Strogatz more eloquently said  \n\n“At the heart of the universe is a steady, insistent beat: the sound of cycles in sync …. The tendency to synchronise is one of the most pervasive drives in the universe, extending from atoms to animals from people to planets”.\n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/Oxm7Ra3.jpg\n\nAlthough I’m not going to pretend I understand biology or physics well enough to write a detailed or wholly accurate blog on this subject, I did do a coursera on the topic recently, so I’m now the proud owner of a very basic understanding.  And it’s so fascinating that I couldn’t not mention what I’ve learned from Steven Strogatz’s book ‘Sync’. \n\nOur bodies display synchrony within themselves and with the outside world. Our pace maker cells all fire synchronously to a rhythm, and a disruption in that time rhythm can cause a whole host of cardiovascular problems. \n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/OiGxjIj.jpg\n\nEach and every organ is composed of distinct cellular oscillations, with chemical and electrical rhythms moving in lockstep, every organ period matching with each other to the 24 hour cycle on which most of us spend our lives. \n\nOur bodies are entrained to this 24 hour cycle, sleeping at given times and awaking at others. All throughout the day our bodies go through periodic cycles of awake and alertness, sleep and drowsiness driven by the time keeping of the sun and the peaks and troughs of our internal temperatures. It seems that even when we are deep in sleep, our bodies don’t stop synchronising.\n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/3iR8HIu.jpg\n\nBut synchrony isn’t just apparent in the living world; it is present in inanimate object too. Without synchrony we wouldn’t have CD players, barcode scanners or laser surgery. The way masses of atoms can multiply and form into a single laser beam is through their ability to synchronously emit light waves of the same phase and colour. \n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/hydPpNu.jpg\n\nIn fact it seems there’s as many examples of entrainment in inanimate objects as there are in the living realm. As it happens, without synchrony we wouldn’t even have the power grids that pump electricity to all of our homes since a necessary condition of a functioning power grid is that the generators remain synchronous, and when the grid desynchronize, the power goes out.\n\nSynchrony exists outside of our own little part of the universe too, in the way two planets orbit round their stars in step, so that as one orbits exactly once, the other has orbited exactly twice.  Or the way our moon turns own its own axis at precisely the same rate it orbits earth. \n\nhttps://i.imgur.com/NhNUg3i.jpg\n\n Strogatz even proposes that this kind of astronomical synchrony may even explain how we acquired our life giving oceans and maybe even extinction of the dinosaurs\n\nBut to learn how, you’ll just have to read his book, or at least watch his ted talk. \n\nhttps://www.ted.com/talks/steven_strogatz_on_sync\n\nhttp://www.stevenstrogatz.com/books/sync-the-emerging-science-of-spontaneous-order\n\n\nIf you’ve found anything we have said interesting in any way , please upvote, follow and any questions, suggestions, criticisms things we missed very welcome in the comments. We will try and respond to any questions/comments as soon as we can.",

      "body": "I will never forget the first moment I stepped off the plane in Bangkok, the first leg of my 6 month stay in SE Asia, and was greeted by black bunting draping every edifice I could see\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmammoNXBGNZRjitd7yAQBaqeKYjSi8vkAdRLDdjVG8aJy/image.png)\n\nI had no idea that Thailand was ruled by a monarchy, or that the revered King Bhumibol (pronounced “Phoomipon”) had just passed away.\n\nThat changed quickly, when store windows like this greeted me\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXnWqVA3RKRMdkqtSBZQy7cQ65ZX7iPbLXYaTfyMsDGb8/image.png)\nEven 'sexy shops' acquiesced to the selling of funeral garb, which citizens wore everyday for more than a year to show fealty.\n\nFor all intensive purposes, the people of Thailand appeared to adore their late king. Every home, shop, mall, airport and café had shrines devoted to his memory \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTm5DUZjVhwP6KmG4eFZRb6qwVYvDY1z91W2dXsFSquJQ/image.png)\n\nThroughout the kingdom I saw precious little separation between church and state, with the late king almost as revered as the Buddha\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZhqYDNYqgWHv4Q8u4pRcgjBzKKx3vkxXNtbDCJQ4dfrz/image.png)\n\nAs an American, adoration of a monarch is not familiar, and through my long stays in countries like Thailand, and even the UK , such reverence for a figure head can even feel downright uncomfortable. I take my right to rebuke figureheads as fundamentally  as my right to breathe. \n\nHowever, I was curious to understand what purpose a monarch serves in a modern age, and found quite a good analysis  in this article (1) . In short, it was argued that one of the strengths of monarchical rule is that it unites disparate cultural groups hoping to assimilate under one nation. For example, ethnic groups such as these young Hmong girls who dance for tourists every morning at dawn\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWeEi6zXzgBjawbhgbYBHA32Xsf35kY4gx77pqwPTt8SB/image.png)\n\nall the way to those who run the high powered financial districts of Bangkok can both presumably remain united by their shared reverence for a monarch. Conveniently, this monarch also remains unchanging even in uncertain political times, such as during the many hostile takeovers by military juntas that dot modern Thai history.\n\nLove for the king is also argued to united citizens intergenerationally, and indeed I was surprised to see how many young, trendy Thais showed the same reverence for the King as those from the older generations. For instance, one can find young people with tattoos like this, which reads “King 9,” honoring the Rama IX rein of Bhumibol.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdy5t96d4upptWKBY8uDPRtNgv3FeDk4AEecb5NUUikNp/image.png)\n\nBut how much of this love is real?\n\nAfter all, citizens of North Korea will profess their love for Kim Jong \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUZhfG4HsD29PW9toZHnAFvWLpz574fGTfWg8ig2tgEmQ/image.png)\n\nAnd in fact failure to do so can result in harsh punishment.\n\nThis is not so different in Thailand. For example, Thailand has what is called a “lese majeste” law(2) , which is one of the strictest laws in the world forbidding criticism of the monarchy. \n\nThis would mean that people who posted insulting images of the new king Vajiralongkorn (wah-chee-RAH-loong-kawn), the son of Bhumibol,  wearing a crop top covered in fake tattoos (see below)\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQYwQcWCNuZ3pEpNQLrEbLz6r1AUjKZcuZNXJUvrYhTHK/image.png)\n\nOr sharing a video of Vajiralongkorn’s then-wife serenading his poodle nude and then eating the poodle’s cake off the ground\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPndAsdBxyxNfn7YnTyg2Mv9Js3T1ttiRmCUgmgEGHZ22/image.png)\n\nAre sentenced to prison. For 30+ years (3).\n\nI consider King Vajiralongkorn, the son of the beloved Bhumibol who rencently died after a 60+ years reign, a Disney villain of sorts. First of all, he physically resembles a combination of Scar and Maleficent.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQNtxdYh5dRGbGU83tCk2jrkXHYmnb98zkFyPX9kj5MVM/image.png)\n\nSecond, unlike his father, who was by all accounts a nice, quiet, rather nerdy man devoted to the simpler things in life like photography \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbfEXhH25L2NCPBWNFbwaEZpcUSkfBRDTsg6rX56oXv1y/image.png)\n\nand commisioning public works that improved areas of everyday life, like clean water and better roads, King Vajiralongkorn is not cut from the same cloth. \n\nSure, he’s a playboy, who has lived most of his life in Germany and has a plethora of mistresses and unofficial wives, such as these two who marched as military commanders in his father’s funeral parade. \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRsGCP7AkqKb2dsMP1v9WnYfprtTrRvbxgso6CjmbeKBf/image.png)\n\nSure it's presumably a prime example of how the ruling class can do as they please, and use their unearned wealthy to satisfy their every whim, but we can say that about most in the upper, upper echelons of society.\n\nWhat’s insidious about Vajiralongkorn is the way that he has learned to exploit his position of power, particularly through enacting punishment in the name of lese majeste. For instance, this is the king’s third wife of the infamous dog party, a former waitress who has one son with the king, named Srirasmi Suwadee.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQBHPiYUY5kbXquFpEXyrwHbG7tkkdiJitMGRVs1cynH9/image.png)\n\nSrirasmi Suwadee is presumably live and well, with the official story being that after her 2015 divorce she was paid “millions” to live in a remote part of Thailand after having been dumped by Vajiralongkorn. As the internet is barren of reports of her wellbeing for the past few years, whether she is indeed alive and well is anyone’s guess. \n\nWhat we do know for sure is that her family is not doing so well, thanks to Vajiralongkorn's politically sanctioned ability to invoke revenge. \n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZdkPN1snVVstdCwkyqqRJHssEhYjZKu3bwdkhht1Uana/image.png)\nThis is a picture of Srirasmi Suwadee’s parents, who are in their 60s. They were placed in prison in 2015 with a 2.5 year sentence for violating lese majeste. Their three sons, Srirasmi’s brothers, received 11 years, though it was reduced to 6. They also were jailed on charges related to “disrespecting the monarchy.” \n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZY3WRVAZsLBQRCi4LohpkvGkfjkTSmBgZe1rkzeRM7FD/image.png)\nFormer lovers are not the only people subject to Vajiralongkorn's wrath. This man, Harry Nicolaides, is an Australian writer who received a harsh prison sentence, also in violation of lese majeste, for three years after publishing a book in 2005 which contained a paragraph briefly mentioning (not by name) the playboy exploits of a Thai ruler. \n\nThough pardoned after negotiations by Australian diplomats after 7 months, he spent that time shackled, in a shared cell with a sex offender and weapons dealer (4). Hardly equal sentencing for writing one paragraph containing a veiled allusion to Vajiralongkorn.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQFibCHizcQRCAyBPtoPotB57gJi4JQegVJArRmpHtHNm/image.png)\nThese two students (5) were jailed for breaking lese majeste laws in connection to a college play they performed called “the Wolf’s Bride.” It told the story of a fictional monarchy in a magical realm, until the Thai government caught wind of the plot and deemed it “insulting.” The students were originally sentenced in 2015 for 5.5 years, but were released early through a royal pardon in July 2016 “to mark Queen Sirikit’s 84th birthday.”\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVXpfajJiZysaJzDjSmVxAif6A2Y5wCYjnEFv9Pe4Vg8j/image.png)\nThis enormous rendering of Queen Sirikit (Vajiralongkorn's mother) was also apparently part of the official festivities.\n\nOne of the best sources of opinion and reflection on the scary oppression built into Thai government in the form of lese majeste is from writer Andrew MacGregor Marshall (6). A fierce opponent of monarchial rule in Thailand, he started his career as a reporting on the country for Reuters in 2000. While there he met his wife, who is of Thai heritage, and they have a son. Marshall left Rueters in 2014 to write a book about the Thai monarchy, and is largely responsible for sharing the photos of a tattooed Vajiralongkorn and his crop top, among other documents that expose the monarchy. He and his family now reside in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, in a recent visit home to see her family, the Thai government found out that Marshall's wife was in the country.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfUtmfr5Zr3KFG5PKQd8YtTURNzK26isXmeY6U9PQXTQv/image.png)\nAs seen in this picture, both she and their young son were detained by police. Her electronics were seized, and her family’s home raided. Luckily, she and her son were released and able to return back to Scotland, as they have protection under EU laws. Many are not so lucky. \n\nMaybe my presentation of the 'facts' are rather one-sided, I can see that. But I am primarily writing this post because visiting Thailand, and learning about their government made me question my own biases and try and work through how I felt about this country, and their acceptance of the king. As travelers, we are told that we should respect the cultures we encounter, and attempt to understand and respect the traditions we experience. I think this works two ways. First, yes, we must attempt to understand different cultures, and travel provides us with a unique opportunity to do so. We are immersed in new, unfamiliar surroundings, and in our attempts to acclimate we gain an understanding of what it means to live in a new place, and abide by a new set of rules. But should our presence also contribute to the culture of the place we visit? \n\nFor instance, Vietnam, a close neighbor to Thailand, is dramatically different in their adaptation of Western cultural touchstones. Of course, modern Vietnamese government is far from perfect, as there is a current realization that their turn to capitalism from communism has led to much greater gaps of inequality between rich and poor (7).  \n\nThailand in contrast seems much more unflinching in it's resistance to Western influence. Perhaps because it has been a tourist destination for so long, it doesn't really need to change. People will always flock to Thailand for it's low price tag and beautiful beaches and mountains, they need not offer variety solely to please the tourists. This may also mean that changes in government can also be put on the back burner. People are making a lot of money, and with that money they can buy silence.\n\nHow much money? Recent reports suggest that while there is significant inequality in SE Asian countries like Vietnam, that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what can be seen in Thailand, which is considered the third most economically unequal country in the world (8).\n\nFor instance, when visiting the northern mountain region of the Akha tribe in Chiang Rai, Liam and I saw families of 6 or more lighting open fires to cook over in the small sheds in which they lived, live chickens wandering out for a peck at trash. Children had distended bellies. It was some of the worst poverty I have seen.\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVPTdCNcyzokanpmGBmuTXReom7oFnYKaxpJsQwZhAndr/image.png)\n\nIn contrast, the King of Thailand is the 2nd wealthiest monarch in the world; yes, even richer than Middle Eastern monarchs with all the oil. \n\nFor instance, this golden palace (technically a mausoleum) was erected solely for the purpose of King Bhumibol’s funeral. \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRHqDR2kfEqZ16LgqVrbD9iVXdZ5fr5wjXhGU5ydgfTRo/image.png)\n\nHis ceremony alone was estimated to cost over $90 Million.\n\nIt’s a scary prospect to think about travelling to a place like Thailand, and having frank discussions about things like lese majeste, the wealth of the monarchy, the practices of Vajiralongkorn, the line between politics and piety. We have seen what can happen.\n\nBut how else do people learn about alternatives if their sources of information are blocked, as they rigorously are throughout Thailand? For instance, a search for anything online which is negative about the monarchy is greeted with this:\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmacfos4csqNpr4LX7RpZ4K9wC4hkAVKwSZFzi4VLMKYte/image.png)\n\nIt even blocks entire websites, such the Daily Mail, as this site has the potential to publish something incriminating. It is theorized that Facebook will be next. I see these problems as similar to those of North Korea, where the line between true homage and fear are significantly blurred. \n\nA few questions for the Sttemit community: \n1) What do you think about the future of the monarchy in Thailand? \n2) What is the future of lese majeste? \n3) Is it ethical for travelers to enter a country like Thailand and have conversations about topics like lese majeste, though it may jeopardize the safety of it’s citizens, or even the travelers themselves? \n4) Are there two sides to this coin? Is this post an exceptional example of cultural blinders/Western superiority complex? \n\n\n\n\n1. https://www.ft.com/content/149d82a4-ae17-11e7-beba-5521c713abf4\n2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-29628191\n3. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/09/man-handed-35-year-sentence-insulting-thai-royal-family-facebook/\n4. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/thailand/4741301/Australian-author-Harry-Nicolaides-freed-after-insulting-Thai-monarch.html\n5. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-31581219\n6. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/andrew-macgregor-marshall-why-i-decided-to-jeopardise-my-career-and-publish-secrets-2301363.html\n7. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/apr/22/vietnam-40-years-on-how-communist-victory-gave-way-to-capitalist-corruption\n8. https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/advanced/1147468/thailand-third-most-unequal-country-in-world",
