A Moment In Time

You find yourself driving to go pick someone or something up, and you get their and end up having to wait for what seems like the longest five minutes of your life. But yet as soon as you get back on the road to drive, your 10 minute cruise just cruises by you and you're home.

That's what is so astonishing about time. There are so many people and living conscious things on this planet. We're all living together in harmony, interacting in what is seeming all based off of the same clock. But the reality is that time is a perception of being. Yes, we all follow the same universal clock, that ticks away (obviously talking about here on earth, as time dilation is a thing) but the way we actually perceive time in our reality, is based upon how are brain processes it. That's why a minute can feel like an eternity, or it can just cruise by.

Were all here living in the same world, but were all perceive reality at different rates. Its such a crazy thing when you sit down and really think about it. Reality is all in our heads, and its a scary but yet astounding thought.

Cloud Chamber

You're in your high school physics class talking about electrons, alpha and beta particles, ect, and you start to wonder.. How do we know that we are interacting with these particles, and how do we see them. The answer for both questions takes us back in time to 1911, when Charles Wilson invented and perfected the Cloud Chamber, A device that was used to see the particles that surround us every day. To make a Cloud Chamber its pretty simple actually. All you need is a sealed environment, radioactive source (which is optional), and dry ice or a cold plate with some kind of alcohol source.

Basically the particles make pathways through the condensed vapor. I have to say it honestly is one of the most astonishing things I have ever seen, and it truly changes how you view the entire world that we live in. But to truly understand how amazing this is, and to learn about it if you're further interested, check out the wiki page!

Water on Mars!

Oh the nostalgia is rushing back from when they announced they had found water on the Moon. Ladies and gentlemen they have confirmed the existence of at least seasonal liquid water on the surface of Mars. This brings rise to all possible kinds of developments, whether we realize it or not. The reason why liquid water is flowing at temperatures so far below zero, is because that this water is actually salty. The water may seem like nothing more then water at a first thought, seeing how the temperatures on mars are to low for life and the atmosphere to thin, lack of a magnetosphere, ect, but we know that microbial life can form and thrive in the exact same environment that we just confirmed on mars, which is very exciting news!

Space Dreams

A dream of mine has always been to visit space, and today I just laid down and watched the International Space Station as it soured high above me in the night sky.... A dream can be a reality, but only when the dream is stronger.

2012 the end of the world?

Is December 21st, 2012 the end of the world? Are we really all gonna die Friday? 

I don't think so. The 2012 phenomenon is as Wikipedia says, "The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatology beliefs according to which cataclysmic or trans formative events will occur on 21 December 2012." Its very surprising to see how gullible people are, but to be honest at one time I too was eerie over the thought of us dying in a few years. According to the Mayan calender people say, we are waiting on an impending doom to fall upon us. People clam all the time different things about this calender, and what I say to this is that people haven't actually fully translated the Mayan scriptures in Mexico. People are just fitting images to different words, but the truth is, we will never completely decipher any of these ancient languages. When ever we think we have found the meaning, a new theory for what it means appears. Some people claim that we are all going to die in a few days from the following:

A solar flare
A massive black hole at the center of our universe
A rouge planet or asteroid heading head on for earth
and countless other theory's...

Nibiru Rouge planet Theory:

To address the rouge planet Apocalypse theory, if there was a planet or other large body headed towards Earth, it would be the brightest thing in the sky at night next to the moon. We would be able to see the body heading towards us in the sky so we wouldn't need to hear the government say that were all gonna die. We would have known that there is a celestial body headed straight towards us, going to wipe us out. Countless NASA Scientist and other astronomers have already stated this.

Solar Flare Theory:

The solar flare theory of an Apocalypse is also just garbage information. Every 10 or so years, the sun finishes a cycle and reaches its solar maximum, which is when the sun reaches its peak in a cycle for solar activity. Well it is true that the sun is reaching its solar maximum, its been happening for as long as the days of earth, so there is no immediate threat. The funny thing is that this year is supposedly the weakest year in a while for the sun, as its peak isn't as high as the year 2002's solar maximum.

Black Hole Theory:

Now for the theory of a black hole at the center of the universe, there is already a supper massive black hole there. 
Our solar system and others in the milky way are basically in orbit around it, and we have been ever sense its existed so there is no threat to us from it.

So now that I have put those Apocalypse theory's to rest, I can safely say that I as long as most of the world, will be waking up to see December 22nd. 

But wait, what is the real uneasy thing about December 21st?

Honestly I believe that December 21st wont be a good day. Not because we are all going to die (which we are not), but the fact that the probability for suicides, is going to increase greatly because of believers in the Apocalypse who want to be spared the pain of dying the way of these "theorys". Uneasy teens and depressed people could be more likely to commit suicide on the 21st which is a sad thing I wish wouldnt happen, but because of all the scare some people have and commitment to their believes, some people will not change their minds.

So I will be uneasy on the 21st of December for that one reason. But besides that I will be having a great day on Christmas  spending time with family and friends. The way it should be spent!

See you all the 22nd!

The ending of space

Welcome to my blog Space and the Beyond! Ever sense I was 9 I've been fascinated with the great beyond we call space! Where the limits are endless. Truly there has to be an end to space, but what is it like? Seriously, if you think that space ends and there is nothing, try to imagine it. Your probably thinking of some room that's just white, like in the TV shows or you might think its black like when you turn the lights out. The matter of the fact is, we cant imagine nothing. We have been built so that our minds constantly think of something. Just think about this, if we are imagining nothing, and we are seeing something doesn't that cancel itself out? because seeing black or white or anything at all period is something. Truly there must be an ending to space, but we cant imagine it. Its mind boggling to think this, but its true. We cant think of nothing because our brains cant handle "nothing". I don't think well ever find the true ending to space, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!
