Afraid? Presence of a stranger can have a calming effect. (1)
We are never alone.
But we are afraid when we believe we are alone.
Look around you.
Talk to the forest.
Shhhhhh…
You do not need any reassurance.
It is the forest that is terrified!
Tell the cosmos not to be afraid.
You are with Him…
The 17th century playwright Molière is as important to French literature as William Shakespeare is to the English canon. But for the past 100 years, a question has swirled around him: Did Molière really write his plays? Or was Pierre Corneille, another famous French playwright of the time, the true author? A new study uses computational methods to analyze subtle, unconscious elements of both authors’ writing and concludes that Molière did indeed write the plays attributed to him. (1)
But does it matter who wrote what?
In the old days people did not care about signing their works with their own name.
For what mattered, was what they wrote.
Go on.
Write down your name.
Do you see?
You are not you!
You are Homer.
You are Nietzsche.
You are Shestov.
You are me.
You are you.
You are No-one!
Time, as far as we know, moves only in one direction. But in 2018, researchers found events in some gamma-ray burst pulses that seemed to repeat themselves as though they were going backwards in time.
Recent research suggests a potential answer for what might be causing this time reversibility effect. If waves within the relativistic jets that produce gamma-ray bursts travel faster than light – at ‘superluminal’ speeds – one of the effects could be time reversibility. (1)
Going back in time.
To speak to our self.
And to warn Him.
That his kids will go astray.
That He should not create the cosmos.
You will never listen to you.
Because you know.
What is here now it was.
What will be has already been.
The past affects the future.
Only because the future had already affected the past.
The only thing that lies being both is Now.
The moment of birth.
The moment of death.
The moment of silence.
Standing still.
Can you hear yourself crying yesterday?
Can you feel yourself smiling tomorrow?
The cosmos should not exist.
And yet it does.
Only because you didn’t listen.
If only you never spoke…
In a survey of thousands of people who reported having experienced personal encounters with God, researchers report that more than two-thirds of self-identified atheists shed that label after their encounter, regardless of whether it was spontaneous or while taking a psychedelic. (1)
Feeling God changes you.
We humans try to understand whether this feeling corresponds to something ‘true’ or not. What we do not understand is that this doesn’t matter!
It is us who formulate what is real. Is it our mind which shapes the universe. It is our soul which dictates the fate of existence. No, you do not see God when you encounter Him. You see yourself. Because you are already One with Him. And that is what modern people are mostly afraid of: encountering our own Self.
We are afraid of him.
We have banished him into the depths of our unconscious.
We want to kill him.
And only when we truly encounter him in his naked glory…
Can we see that He actually loves us…
At the end, it is not feeling God that changes us.
It is God feeling us that changes Him…
Making objects invisible is no longer the stuff of fantasy but a fast-evolving science. ‘Invisibility cloaks’ using metamaterials now exist, and are beginning to be used to improve the performance of satellite antennas and sensors. Many of the proposed metamaterials, however, only work at limited wavelength ranges such as microwave frequencies.
Now, scientists report a way of making a cylinder invisible without a cloak for monochromatic illumination at optical frequency.
Scientists determined that invisibility would occur when the refractive index of the cylinder ranges from 2.7 to 3.8. Some useful natural materials fall within this range, such as silicon (Si), aluminum arsenide (AlAs) and germanium arsenide (GaAs), which are commonly used in semiconductor technology. By taking a close look at the magnetic field profiles, they inferred that “the invisibility stems from the cancellation of the dipoles generated in the cylinder.”
Although rigorous calculations of the scattering efficiency have so far only been possible for cylinders and spheres, Kajikawa notes there are plans to test other structures, but these would require much more computing power. (1)
A world full of things we see.
A world full of invisible things.
Right next to you, a table.
It is clearly there. Is it?
Deep inside yourself, you.
You do clearly exist, don’t you?
Extend your hand.
Funny.
When I touch this table,
it feels like it is touching me…
