Time flies, and because I'm so busy, the news I need to keep up with keeps piling up. Today, I've accumulated nearly 400 news items in just a few days. There are so many beautiful photos I could share. I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I do. I'll write a second version of my post, "The Ignorance of Information Abundance," sometime soon. I realized there were things I left out.
It's a strange name, isn't it? Ignorance amidst knowledge. It would be truly admirable to achieve this, but I'm so enraged I don't see it happening. Normally, I don't just think of something and say, "Let's write about it." There's a good RSS feed. I add my favorite sites there and read the news. If something catches my eye, I'll […]
Since I don't have a camera yet, I occasionally take photos with my cell phone. I thought I'd share them. When I get my camera and connect it to the telescope, I'll get some really nice pictures. It might take a while for the pictures to load. They're about 2 MB each.

These questions have been asked, and almost all of them have been answered. Initially thought to be infinitely large and static, the universe has been learned, with new discoveries, to be neither infinite nor static. And in astronomy, what seems large to us […]
Hello everyone. Today, I found some great astronomy posts. For example, the two images you see above are previously unseen images of Saturn. They're infrared. As you can see, the brighter areas represent warmer regions. If you look at the south pole, it's quite bright. The equator, on the other hand, is generally cold.
I've actually been asking this question for a long time, but I'd never bothered to investigate it. Now, when I read The Elegance of the Universe, I saw its explanation. I figured I'd explain it. It won't be easy, but let's see. According to the theory of relativity, the highest speed attainable in the universe is the speed of light. And the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time will slow down for you. Einstein first developed the theory of special relativity. […]
