In hmolscience, molecular goggles is the visual conceptualization of seeing everything around us, e.g. air, building, humans, individually and within societies, amid ecosystems, as but atoms and molecules or molecular aggregates moving about, and or stationary, according to physicochemical principles.

Advanced perspective

See main: Advanced perspective

The point of view looking at society or social interactions and reactions from above or from with the way a chemist looks at chemicals goes by various names, such as: 'super-observer' (Oliver Reiser, 1935), 'observer at a sufficient height' (Pierre Teilhard, 1951), ‘macroscope view’ (Joel de Rosnay, 1975), ‘cosmic perspective’ (Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980). ‘unsuspected visitor perspective’ (Alfredo Infante, 2001), ‘bird’s-eye view’ (William McNeill and J.R. McNeill, 2003), ‘Martian or zoomed-back view’ (Andrew Morrow, 2006), ‘advanced intelligence perspective’ (Libb Thims, 2007). [1]

Szent-Gyorgyi
In the 1960s, Hungarian physiologist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi stated the following "molecular goggles" view in the sense that he sees a monkey, or what one might call a monkey molecule, in a jungle as a particularly concentrated locus of molecules with an inflow and outflow of material: [1]

“If one had the kind of vision [e.g. electron microscope/quantum microscope] that allowed one [see: advanced perspective] to see molecules and were in a jungle, one would see molecules wandering about everywhere, at random. In this ceaseless wandering, one might recognize a locus in which molecules of various types were particularly concentrated, which held its form [bound state] approximately while myriads of molecules streamed in and out [turnover rate]; and that locus would be a monkey in the jungle. That continuous inflow and outflow of material [metabolism], and whatever of its structure endured, would not only make that a unique monkey from among monkeys but would ensure that it changed [see: Heraclitus] from moment to moment throughout its entire existence.”


Cover section of Mirza Beg's 1987 New Dimensions in Sociology: a Physico-Chemical Approach to Human Behavior, which seems to capture, in some sense, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi's description of animals (or humans in Beg’s case) in a jungle as "particularly concentrated loci of molecules holding a certain form".

[2]

Here we see Szent-Gyorgyi touching on a number of key issues in human molecular philosophy, namely the turnover rate problem (metabolism), the individuality problem, the blind random chance movement view (Democritus) versus free energy gradient movement view (modern), and the issue of change (irreversibility) (Heraclitus).
