Studying/bullet Journalling/reading My Way Through November 🍂 Ig: Studylustre

06.23.17 // beginning my summer by setting up a bullet journal! it’s not perfect, but i’m happy that i’m starting it again. the weekly spread at the end isn’t finished, but its a preview of sorts. can you tell i like blue?

almost everyone loves space. we are all fascinated by some aspect of the universe at some point in our lives, whether that aspect is the changing colours of the sky or the millions of stars and clusters of stars in our never-ending galaxy. as someone who plans to study astronomy and cosmology when they grow up, space definitely means a lot to me. the sad part is that we know so little about the universe, even after studying it for centuries. but what we do know now is what’ll help us make huge new discoveries, so here’s a masterpost of common questions/answers + resources for learning more about something we know almost nothing about - the universe!

i hope you enjoyed the resources included in this post!!! feel free to message me in case 1) any of the links are broken, 2) u want me to add on to something, 3) u have a suggestion for a masterpost [i would love that so go ahead and ask if u do] or if u just wanna talk! also, feel free to reblog and add ur own comments/resources. hope this helped someone learn and understand more!!!

Hey guys! This have been REALLY hectic, as I’ve been submitting forms for college and I’ve also been swamped with studying for finals and AP tests D: It’s definitely a bit stressful but I’m looking forward to when all of this is over! :)

Quantum Entanglement - The Quantum Source of Space-Time. Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently - instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole. Quantum mechanics governs the world of the small - the weird realm in which particle can be in many places at the same time, and can simultaneously spin both clockwise and anticlockwise. Gravity governs the Universe at large - from the fall of an apple to the motion of planets, stars and galaxies. The theory holds that gravity is geometry: particles are deflected when they pass near a massive object not because they feel a force but because space and time around the object are curved. Both theories have been abundantly verified through experiment, yet the realities they describe seem utterly incompatible. And from Van Raamsdonk standpoint, all that’s needed is ‘entanglement’: the phenomenon that many physicists believe to be the ultimate in quantum weirdness. Entanglement lets the measurement of one particle instantaneously determine the state of a partner particle, no matter how far away it may be - even on the other side of the Milky Way. In conclusion, it seems that entanglement is the essential ingredient that knits space-time together into a smooth whole - not just in exotic cases with black holes. If any two particles are connected by entanglement, the physicists suggested, then they are effectively joined by a wormhole. And vice versa: the connection that physicists call a wormhole is equivalent to entanglement. They are different ways of describing the same underlying reality.

Psychology & Handwriting Analysis: Size

Aristotle spoke of dividing man into three aspects: the mind, the body, and the spirit: “Speech is the expression of ideas or thoughts or desires. Handwriting is the visible form of speech. Just as speech can have inflections of emotions, somewhere in handwriting is an expression of the emotions underlying the writer’s thoughts, ideas, or desires.”

Meaning: The size of the writing reveals whether a person is feeling socially extroverted or introverted. It also reveals your capacity for concentration.

Note: Sometimes your size changes, look at the definitions that describe your mood.

1. Overly Large Handwriting:

This person demands to be seen & heard

This writer overdoes (exaggerates) the size in compensation for an inner feeling of smallness and/or unimportance

Obsession with attention & will go to great lengths to obtain it

Displays obsessive tendencies by writing huge letters (to call attention on himself)

How Our Solar System Will End In The Far Future

“Gravitational ejection is about 100 times more likely than a random merger, meaning our star and the remaining bound planets will probably be ejected into the abyss of now-empty space after around 10^19 years. But even at that, with Earth orbiting our stellar remnant and with nothing else around, things won’t last forever. Every orbit — even gravitational orbits in General Relativity — will very, very slowly decay over time. It might take an exceptionally long time, some 10^150 years, but eventually, the Earth (and all the planets, after enough time) will have their orbits decay, and will spiral into the central mass of our Solar System.”

Worried about the environment of Earth today? Here’s a sobering fact: we already know how it’s all going to end. Not just when the next ice age will come or the next supervolcano will blow, but on cosmic scales stretching billions of years into the future and beyond. From the death of life on Earth to the end of the Sun, we can predict some major catastrophes our Solar System will face. But even after the Sun has died, the Earth and what’s left of our parent star will likely stick around for more. The matter expelled by our Sun will ignite new stars, which will die as well. White dwarfs will cool off into black dwarfs, and the Universe will go dark. And yet, thanks to gravitational effects, more interactions, on long enough timescales, will still remain.

Come get the long-term story of the future of our Solar System and see how it all will, in the ultra-distant future, come to an end.

Do telescopes actually take colorful photographs or are the pretty colorful photographs of galaxies that we know colored afterwards? If a human was floating through space, would space look colorful to them?

So some pictures are taken in different wavelengths to see different characteristics. (infrared wavelengths to see through thick gas and dust, xray wavelengths to see highly energized regions)

But, in the visible wavelengths you are seeing the colors. They’re just enhanced brighter than they might be.

For example, I took this picture of “the California Nebula” using a camera (Canon 60Da) attached to a telescope. This shows one exposure, and the background is red due to effects of the camera (which you subtract):

You take multiple exposures, combine them, subtract the background effects & adjust the color a little and get this…
