It’s been a while since I last posted anything and I’ve taken a bit of a break from social networks, but I’ve missed Warpcast and wanted to share something with you. Did you know that the concept of time passes differently for various animals? For instance, a mosquito, which only lives for a few days, experiences time in a different way. Within this short span, it is born, grows, mates, reproduces, and dies, and all these events occur in just a few days. However, humans take about 80 years to go through the same cycle. Now, how does life seem from a turtle’s perspective? It’s quite strange, and thinking about this can offer us a different perspective on time.

Dark matter, one of the biggest mysteries in physics, constitutes about 27% of the total universe. While it was unable to be observed directly, pretty visibly evident are its effects on the motion of galaxies and other celestial objects. Neither absorbing nor reflecting light, dark matter is invisible through telescopes or any other common instruments. According to a great number of scientific works, dark matter is most likely composed of WIMP and axion particles. The biggest unresolved issue remains: what is the nature of this matter, and how does it influence the structure and evolution of the universe? In the same way, despite great success in scientific knowledge in the field, dark matter is still one of those puzzles for which many physicists want to find the missing piece.

Tonight, while walking down the street, I saw an old street vendor sitting by a fire. I was really cold, so I went over to him, had a chat, and found out he was a very kind man. He poured me a cup of tea, and we started drinking it. At that moment, I was thinking about this law of physics that energy doesn’t disappear, it just changes form. The fire, the firewood, the tea, and most importantly, the immense positive energy that the old man gave me made it a memorable night.🔥

My friend asked me how I plan to make money from physics and its complex formulas. I told them that we are actually learning a system, not just a skill. The system we learn generates skills, and that’s our art. I hope they were convinced.

My interest in physics might stem from having a kind and highly knowledgeable teacher during high school. He would explain physical phenomena, like light refraction, waves, pressure, and forces, by relating them to real-life examples, carefully calculating each scenario. He always said, ‘Physics doesn’t lie,’ and that statement has stayed with me ever since.

Sometimes I lie on the grass in the park, gazing at the sky, which is a vast and delicate harmony that encapsulates my entire life in a single moment. The beauty of the sky is striking. When I look at the sun, I can't help but wonder how lifeless the world would be without it, and at night, I reflect on how the Earth would lack tranquility without the moon. Everything seems to be perfectly in place and functioning.

There is, in a word, no "weight" in space because gravity does not pull objects like it does on Earth. The astronauts aboard the ISS are in free-fall and feel weightless; this does not mean, however, that Earth's gravity has no influence on them, just that they move at the same speed as does the ISS. That would explain why they would float around even though they have mass. I find this notion very interesting and would like to try it for myself someday.

The distance between Earth and the Sun is about 150 million kilometers or roughly 1 Astronomical Unit. To put that in perspective, it takes light just over 8 minutes to travel this vast distance and reach us. The position of Earth in relation to the Sun is such that if it were closer or farther, things would be drastically different here-on the order of making us essentially one of the other planets of the solar system. What works for Earth is that it's in that sweet spot, not too close to the Sun to fry and not too far to freeze. This perfect balance is what allows life as we know it to exist here.👌 😬

Even if we observe a civilization from Earth, due to the vast distance, at the same moment, that civilization might no longer exist or might have changed, because the light from that civilization has taken millions of light-years to reach us. This means that we are only observing a picture of the past of civilizations, not their present. Therefore, life and communication in galaxies become extraordinarily complex and difficult due to the immense distances and temporal changes.😶

I’ve always wanted to make a special breakthrough in physics. However, whenever I think about it, I realize that all the laws already exist; maybe we just haven’t discovered them yet. In any case, nothing extraordinary will happen. Even with the greatest discoveries, we’ll just understand what’s already occurring around us.😬

If we assume that parallel universes exist, we must consider that there are worlds with different physical laws, drastically altering everything we know.This raises the question of whether ethics in those worlds would mirror ours. Actions we deem virtuous on Earth might be considered crimes or taboos in other universes.🤔 Although we have yet to determine if other worlds exist in our galaxy, let alone parallel universes, the concept remains a fascinating topic for exploration.🤯

During my time studying physics, I reached an important conclusion that changed my perspective on the world.🙃 I realized that physics governs everything, from the smallest particles to the largest structures we’ve discovered, like the universe itself. Despite the many irregularities we observe, none of them violate the laws of physics.👌 This makes the science incredibly fascinating. In physics, even if we observe an exception, it means we are discovering a new law.👀

Finally, I managed to buy my favorite book, and while happily placing it in my library, I realized I have so many books I haven’t even read yet. When I bought them, I had the same excitement. I think it’s better to stop buying new books and finish the ones I already have. It’s better for my knowledge and my budget too.😵
