The phosphor layer of a cathode ray tube¹ visualizes the last happy² moment³ of an electron² beam.
A Pale Blue Dot Matter Wave.

¹Just about until 2010 people looked into a tube like window – a screen with depth, when they wanted to see things that were away from them. These vision images were built by glowing phosphor lines, excited by a cathode ray of electrons. Right before, these images were compiled into audiovisual blocks named telecast, curated by people called editors. The programs of that broadcast service, called „Television“, themselves were also lined up in a raw from morning show to late night talks, niche topics or even some experiments right before close-down.
When looking in such a cathode ray tube, it was possible to drift away, similar but totally different to an eternal “Brainrot Scrolling“, because with watching TV, especially together in family, it was much easier to also endure contributions that did not captivate you permanently from the very first seconds.

²How can a physical thing give rise to subjective experiences like feelings and thoughts? (Hard Problem of Consciousness). The question of how the fundamental theories of particle physics can be linked to the functioning of human thought or philosophical theories about realities leads from hard science into the realms of philosophy, neuroscience and speculation.
