Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes Reveal the Oldest Object in the Observable Universe physics-astronomy

Image
Astronomers have found the faintest object ever observed from the NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. This object existed about 400 million years after the Big Bang, which is about 13.8 billion years ago. The team that discovered it has given it the name “Tayna” which is a word of Aymara, a language that is spoken in the Andes and some regions of South America. All though Hubble and Spitzer have discovered other galaxies that have much greater distance. This object shows a smaller and fainter category of newly forming galaxies. These dim objects may describe more about the early universe and put forward the new perception about the formation and evolution about the early galaxies. Lead Author Leopoldo Infante, an astronomer at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile said "Thanks to this detection, the team has been able to study for the first time the properties of extremely faint objects formed not long after the big bang”. This distant object is part of a d...

Australian Surfers Develop ‘Seabin’ Device to Remove Plastic Trash from the Ocean

Image
Marine environment is being destroyed by the ridiculously huge amounts of plastic trash in Earth’s oceans. In fact, it is estimated that the oceans are filled with 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic with a total weight of 269,000 tons,  which harm 1,000,000 ocean animals each year. These numbers are quite shocking, don’t you think. In the recent years, we have seen a number of amazing inventions aimed to stop this pollution and save the oceans, such as   the massive ocean cleaning system  called The Ocean Cleanup , which is to be launched in 2016, or the floating Seawer Skyscraper , an innovative power station which not only cleans up plastic waste but also generates clean energy. However, there are also some less known inventions, which may not be as large-scale and ambitious as the projects mentioned above, but they certainly serve the same purpose. An unusual solution to the problem of ocean plastic pollution was recently proposed by two Australian surfers who we...

Non-Stick Cookware Proven Toxic & Why You Should Use A Cast Iron Skillet Instead collective-evolution

Image
Cooking has become a cherished pastime of mine over the last several years. It began in college when I found I could no longer stomach the meals the cafeteria was providing me. I knew I wanted to know what was in my food, so I moved off campus into my own apartment and began calling my mother incessantly for recipes, and then calling her back after mulling over what it meant to julienne an onion. And to be honest, as time has gone by my questions have only increased in number — though, to be fair, this is most likely because I am becoming increasingly familiar with the intricacies of the subject. But one thing I’ve noticed in the past year is my ever-mounting desire to understand what I should and shouldn’t have in my kitchen for efficiency as well as health purposes (yes, I have replaced all plastic food storage containers with glass ones). I’m the clean type. I don’t like dirty dishes soaking in soap to slowly soften residue for removal  hours later. I prefer thi...

Do Whales Attempt Suicide? truththeory

Image
by David Lusseau Witnessing any dolphin or whale stranding live is a deeply moving experience; particularly when you end up accompanying an individual to the end of its life. My stomach still churns remembering the time that I encountered one in Scotland. But the reasons behind such events remain mysterious. Dolphins and whales can strand together – most recently, ten long-finned pilot whales became stranded on a beach near Calais, seven of which died – but we can’t pinpoint a single reason why this happens. Instead, many different factors appear to be involved. Some mass strandings are easy to solve, because the individuals involved are similarly sick or injured. In these cases, they strand because they are pushed inshore by currents as they ail and die. Alternatively, they head for shore because they are simply too sick to swim. Harmful algal blooms, for example, have been linked to mass strandings of whales as far back as the Miocene . Epizootics – disease events among an anim...

5 Intimate Qualities of An Enlightened Partner truththeory

Image
by LJ Vanier, Facebook Have you ever wondered why it is possible to walk into a room and immediately been drawn to someone you don’t even know? Like there is a magnetic force field between you, drawing you in, bring you closer and closer until finally without even knowing it, you are lost in conversation full of sexual charge. We all possess powerful, electrical and magnetic forces within us. Alike to a magnet, we exert a force of attraction to others and between lovers, this magnetic energy is amplified, as we fixate on what it is that we are attracted to. When we can learn to embrace this powerful energy, we can wield it to elevate our consciousness through the sacred act of sex. An enlightened partner is aware of this and will use this same magnetic energy, to elevate the experience to heights you never thought possible. As if they are reading your mind, your sensitive spots, likes and dislikes without speaking a word. If you are an un-enlightened person or someone who is ...

Video: Lauryn Hill Has Some Astounding Wisdom On Life & Mastership collective-evolution

Image
I’ve loved hip hop for a long time, and Lauryn Hill has been one of my favourite artists for years. When I came upon this video it resonated so much with me, and I felt that her words are so relevant right now, almost 16 years after she said them. To me, their ability to stand the test of changing times is a real testament to the truth within them. I was so shocked to find out she was only 25 years old when she dropped this awesome speech filled with so much wisdom. I attribute it to her life experiences and unwavering dedication to a higher power. Speaking to a room full of college students she shyly mentions off the top that she isn’t the best public speaker. Again, I was surprised because I found Lauryn to be poised and authentic in her delivery. ” Whenever you stand for something, for goodness, for truth, you will always get resistance” She was referencing the music industry being a microcosm of the world. Perhaps this is true because as the saying goes, sometimes the truth is u...
