The First Day Of December Was Great! I Submitted Half Of My College Applications And Went To Muji Where

23.09.17» This really doesn’t look like my usual post but I was trying something new~ I think I like writing the days as they go, I’m gonna start doing that. You can tell a lot of things didn’t go as planned, and Wednesday is just not even there lmao.

Hey! I have to do a quick presentation (like 2 minutes, tops) about literally any topic for a nuclear science class. I was thinking something along the lines of radiation in space but I'm clueless. Any suggestions?

You could talk about nuclear fusion in the core of stars, and how stars don’t create elements heavier than iron because instead of creating energy through fusion it requires energy.

All elements heavier than iron are formed during supernovae. After a star dies, the energy can be transferred into creating heavier elements! Thank a dead star for your existence

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.

honestly?? this pic was just an excuse to show my milk bottle shaped flask i got from sm town in seoul,, it has #luckyone stamped on it and i lov it bc im exo trash anyway if y’all are interested in purchasing the two lovely notebooks shown in the pic, use my code “LUSTRE10″ on messybunny or “studylustre” on kawaiipenshop for 10% off!! they both have free international shipping woOoOo ✨

It really baffles me how there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. Hundreds of billions of stars per galaxy. With each star system containing 1-9 planets each. And people still are convinced that this tiny speck of dust we call Earth is the only place you can find intelligent life, let alone life period.

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?

It’s Friday...Come Space Out with Us

It’s Friday…which seems like a great excuse to take a look at some awesome images from space.

First, let’s start with our home planet: Earth.

This view of the entire sunlit side of Earth was taken from one million miles away…yes, one MILLION! Our EPIC camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory captured this image in July 2015 and the picture was generated by combining three separate images to create a photographic-quality image.

Next, let’s venture out 4,000 light-years from Earth.

This image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, is not only stunning…but shows the colorful “last hurrah” of a star like our sun. This star is ending its life by casting off its outer layers of gas, which formed a cocoon around the star’s remaining core. Our sun will eventually burn out and shroud itself with stellar debris…but not for another 5 billion years.

The material expelled by the star glows with different colors depending on its composition, its density and how close it is to the hot central star. Blue samples helium; blue-green oxygen, and red nitrogen and hydrogen.

Want to see some rocks on Mars?

Here’s an image of the layered geologic past of Mars revealed in stunning detail. This color image was returned by our Curiosity Mars rover, which is currently “roving” around the Red Planet, exploring the “Murray Buttes” region.

In this region, Curiosity is investigating how and when the habitable ancient conditions known from the mission’s earlier findings evolved into conditions drier and less favorable for life.

Did you know there are people currently living and working in space?

Right now, three people from three different countries are living and working 250 miles above Earth on the International Space Station. While there, they are performing important experiments that will help us back here on Earth, and with future exploration to deep space.

This image, taken by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins shows the stunning moonrise over Earth from the perspective of the space station.

Lastly, let’s venture over to someplace REALLY hot…our sun.

The sun is the center of our solar system, and makes up 99.8% of the mass of the entire solar system…so it’s pretty huge. Since the sun is a star, it does not have a solid surface, but is a ball of gas held together by its own gravity. The temperature at the sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius)…so HOT!

This awesome visualization appears to show the sun spinning, as if stuck on a pinwheel. It is actually the spacecraft, SDO, that did the spinning though. Engineers instructed our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to roll 360 degrees on one axis, during this seven-hour maneuver, the spacecraft took an image every 12 seconds.

This maneuver happens twice a year to help SDO’s imager instrument to take precise measurements of the solar limb (the outer edge of the sun as seen by SDO).

Thanks for spacing out with us…you may now resume your Friday.

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! :)

09.04.17 editing my manuscript that I hope to get published at some point; it’s a review of novel therapies for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
