I am learning through it all, through the ups & the downs. I am finding that there is opportunity & purpose in everything that I experience.

Looking Back to the Future

“At the beginning of the 1900s, it was thought an improved understanding of electromagnetism offered the best way forward for astronomy. It is unfortunate, therefore, that many have become frustrated at the pace of progress in the space sciences. 

Although most sciences have progressed leaps and bounds over the past hundred years, cosmology has fallen behind. Certainly, numerous space missions have enjoyed remarkable success, but is it a testament to the engineers and technicians—or—those theoreticians who are continually surprised by findings that almost always contradict expectations? 

Since July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope has ramped up the cognitive dissonance as the spiraling, filamentary structure of the universe is being observed more clearly than ever—from an electrical plasma perspective. 

Author and independent researcher David Drew does not claim the EU Model has all the answers, but advocates it will help direct us Back to the Future and herald the next era of cosmology.”

In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.

"Life cycle diagrams are ubiquitous in science textbooks, and they may be due for some updates. A new study finds simple design changes in these diagrams can have a dramatic impact on the ability of undergraduate students to understand key biology concepts.

"We were shocked by the study results," says Jennifer Landin, corresponding author of the study and an associate teaching professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University. "Making two small adjustments had a profound impact on the ability of college students to answer questions related to ecology and evolution accurately.""

""There are a couple of examples that underscore how powerful the effect of design can be,"(...)."

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Calm waves roll into São Martinho do Porto — a village in Portugal with a shell-shape bay surrounded by a sand beach. The bay formed when a strip of land along the coast was eroded and then divided by the Atlantic Ocean. Because the opening to the ocean is still relatively small (825 feet or 250 meters), the waves that roll into the beach are almost always calm.

"Home to part of the largest sand desert in the world and with summer temperatures regularly topping 40 degrees celsius, the United Arab Emirates is rarely associated with rain. But in the last few months of 2019, the country contended with torrential downpours that have seen people wading through streets, workers pumping water from a flooded residential area, and rainwater flowing down escalators at the world-famous Dubai Mall."

If you find from your own experience that something is a fact and it contradicts what some authority has written down, then you must abandon the authority and base your reasoning on your own findings.

“We ought to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its antecedent state and as the cause of the state that is to follow. An intelligence knowing all the forces acting in nature at a given instant, as well as the momentary positions of all things in the universe, would be able to comprehend in one single formula the motions of the largest bodies as well as the lightest atoms in the world, provided that its intellect were sufficiently powerful to subject all data to analysis; to it nothing would be uncertain, the future as well as the past would be present to its eyes. The perfection that the human mind has been able to give to astronomy affords but a feeble outline of such an intelligence.”
