Black Holes & Entanglement. Facts: Heavy objects warp the fabric of space itself. In a black hole, space becomes infinitely curved: As you go deeper into the black hole, space becomes ever more curvy until, at the centre, it becomes infinitely curved. This is the singularity.  The boundary of a black hole might be a blazing firewall. Once you fall in, there's no coming out.

Stuff of Matter, Stuff that Matters. The periodic table of chemical elements is a masterpiece of organized chemical information. The elements represent stuff of matter, stuff that matters. Not only on Earth but also on other celestial bodies.  Dark matter is a special type of matter. It accounts for an estimated 84% of matter in the universe and 23% of the mass-energy. Dark matter cannot

The wise fool will reverse our standard assumptions, notices things that other people overlook, can be irreverent, cryptic, absurd, takes the contrary position in most conversations and stimulates thinking.  Example: "If a man is sitting on a horse facing the rear, WHY do we assume that it is the man who is backwards, and not the horse?".

"The Crystal's Cave", a Crystal Palace.  "The Crystal's Cave" or "Giant Crystal Cave" is a cave connected to the Naica mine in Mexico.

The cave at a depth of 300 m is extremely hot with air temperatures reaching up to 58 °C with 90 to 99 percent humidity.

Visual illusions. 'Fooled by the Brain'.An optical or visual illusion can be created by fooling the brain. The explanation for this phenomena is that the information obtained through the eyes is used for only 20% by the brain to form an image. The rest is complemented by the brain through past experience, expectations and other senses. The resulting image is only an extrapolated interpretation

Or do we only think, or have the feeling, that our choices and decisions are made by our conscious self? Is conscious choice just an illusion? Can our conscious self influence our unconscious self?
