love is not something you can put on hold like a product from a store, its all or nothing. that’s how i see it. human perception is what makes us unique, but its also a downfall. two people can view the exact same situation, word, or phrase completely different. through my life i have noticed these things in all the places Ive lived, the same good intentions can be a terrible outcome for another person. acknowledging these differences is something many people cannot comprehend. Ive seen many great people lose hope due to situations along the same lines. Ive come to learn that you cannot trust others to understand your certain view on something, no matter how hard you can try and explain it, every human emotion is different. trust yourself and only yourself. use your mind and heart as one, not two separate entities. there is a reason you have both. in order to truly love you must truly understand. i wanted to speak my mind i hope i in some way helped someone.
Vast Web of Dark Matter Mapped
Astronomers have created a vast cosmic map revealing an intricate web of dark matter and galaxies spanning a distance of one billion light-years.
Liquid Crystals
A liquid crystal is exactly what it sounds like: part liquid, part crystal, all awesome. From a distance a liquid crystal seems to be fluid in its behavior and organization, but take a closer look and you realize that it has some organized structure reminiscent of a solid crystal. The first mention of liquid crystals comes from an experiment in 1888 by Friedrich Reinitzer. The results of his experiment seemed to show that cholesteryl benzoate had two melting points, one that formed a cloudy liquid and one that formed a clear liquid. Upon closer analysis by a physicist it turned out that the intermediate phase has composed of crystallites.
An interesting phenomenon and also the greatest application of liquid crystals is their ability to change between a set of phases under certain conditions, such as temperature, electrical charge or composition. This has been exploited both artificially and naturally, where certain membranes and proteins behave as liquid crystals. Specifically this is useful because the internal order of the crystals can let certain polarizations of light through while blocking others. This is the basic principle behind Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD, televisions. The image above shows two phases, the less organized nematic phase is seen on the left while the smectic phase is shown on the right letting only certain light polarizations through.
THE INTERNET IS OUR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
We don’t have to remember phone numbers or addresses anymore. Instead, we can just hop on our email or Google to look it up. According to a study by Science Magazine, “the Internet has become a primary form of external or transactive memory, where…
