Universe of Me

Everyday we are met with challenges, but how often do we face them? Its far too easy for us to turn the other cheek and allow these obstacles to force us to live our lives in an abnormal and anomalous direction. We need to rely on our confidence and self-worth to help us succeed in overcoming our everyday challenges. We need to cultivate compassion and metaphysically shove animosity back into the deep pit from which it has stemmed. Do not divulge in the viscous saccharine librettos sweetly streaming from the larynx of your local republican or democratic leaders. Allow freedom to seep through your veins influencing your every decision, ensuring that you are true to who you are, and not who you are conditioned to be.

Dark Matter, Dark Energy And The Shadow Universe
Many folks have heard of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Most folks, however, can’t tell you anything about them. They’re dark. They’re lurking out there. That’s about it.
They’re too important to leave it at that. So, let’s look at the “whys” and “wherefores” of the Dark Duo. With today’s post, I’m going to begin this exploration with a simple fact and its cosmic (literally) interpretation.
Let’s start with a very important distinction. Dark Matter and Dark Energy have nothing (as far as we know) to do with each other. The only thing they have in common is that evocative adjective “dark,” which, for astrophysicists, simply means we can see an effect but we can’t see the cause. -Adam Frank

Human-Made Photosynthesis to Revolutionize Food and Energy Production

Improving natural photosynthesis to make new fuels and boost crop production is the focus of Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funded research presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting February 17. It could see us one step closer to bottling the sun’s energy or turbocharging plants to produce bumper crops.
