Nitpicking

These look like the posters that were on my bedroom wall during the 70's

They looked better under the black light and after a few joints.

They resemble art that I used to do in school in the 70's after a few one-hitters. Mine had twisty colored lines with highlights and shadows that that gave the design depth. My artwork was very popular wuth the 'Heads'.

I suggest that with this observation of yours, that you've tumbled almost directly into a discussion of how the CHEMISTRY of attraction and lust, is NOT tied directly to the chemistry of LOVE, which actually is still unknown, overall.

I suggest further, that this means that it is even MORE obviously true, that humans are not driven and controlled by what chemistry we understand so far, alone. There's much more to it. This was obvious to me long ago, because I recognized early on, that I could CHOOSE how to react to my body chemistry. I could CHOOSE how what to do about adrenaline rushes, and about my emotional reactions. I could not control the chemistry itself, so I always have to experience the chemical emotions, but I am almost never out of control.

I'm not suggesting anything religious or magical with that, just pointing out that even with the amazing information we have so far, we have a long way to go before we can say we really know what we are all about.

I have read several times, that we should keep in mind, with colorful pictures of this kind of stuff, that the colors we see are not necessarily inherent to the substances themselves. In addition to using dyes on the samples, the technique of photographing them usually includes assigning colors to things like variations in density and other aspects of the substance. I fact, many micro photographs would be entirely colorless, owning the the way that the micro-photography mechanisms work. I'm no where near being expert (just an Historian who tries to pay attention here), so I don't know anything about these specific exemplars. Something to keep in mind, though.

I agree, list like NASA uses false color imaging to bring out details. I wasn't referring to the colors as much as the defining differences represented by the colors. The reasons for false color and enhancements.

In testosterone, of which I used as an example, the yellow areas are less abundant than the blue. It is not the color but the area of separation that I found interesting. The ratios. They are distinct separations. The separations could be differing strengths of or even areas of Anti-Testosterone (for lack of a better word).

I also have no idea how pure the sample photographed actually was. If I lay a smear of testosterone on a slide. It is not likely to be pure testosterone. If it is sampled from a vat or source pool of testosterone, any variances in it will be part of the testosterone sample.
Things that normally appear in testosterone.
Thus, those distinctions that are isolated in ratios within the sample are likely present in all samples of testosterone. With only one sample to view, it is likely that the ratios are common: Occam's Razor.


Agreed!
We know "of" but not "all" in many things.


Ditto.

Consider that those conscious thoughts that you use to control yourself are also based on chemical reactions within you. Our brains are Chemical Computers so to speak. Will is a series of chemical excretions from axons and dendrites that fire a synapse. That chemical-electrical signal determines everything from movement to emotion. Even involuntary movement is a chemical-electrical signal like the contraction and relaxation of your heart muscles.
