This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed).

Where to Now? by Mark Nepo

Where to Now? by Mark Nepo

The selected poems below are from Mark Nepo’s book: The Way Under The Way: The Place of True Meeting (Sounds True):


INSEPARABLE
BY MARK NEPO



INSEPARABLE
BY MARK NEPO


A small voice swept through the hole
in my heart, right there in the middle
of a day filled with the sweetness of
things outlasting our mistakes.

The voice led me to a thatch of
berries I had to eat, though the berries
were nested in a ring of thorns.

But this was the only food that
would heal. And everything I’d been
through, every path I’d tried, every love
I’d lost, every friendship I’d held onto like
a handle in a fire, every certainty that had
crumbled into doubt—all of it said,
“This is the only food.”

The small voice whispered, “There
is no other way but to bury your face and

eat of these berries. Of course, you’ll
scratch your cheeks. Of course, you’ll
bleed. But this is life.”

The berries nested in the thorns.
Inseparable as love nested in loss.
As peace nested in trouble.

Like God, waiting as a berry
to be eaten, all tangled
in the thorns.

WHERE TO NOW?


Now that I’ve come out of hiding,
my fears are forgetting to be afraid.
Now that I’ve dropped my opinions
in the rain, my story is too small
to cover my heart.
Now that I’ve put down what I thought
was important, I’m surprised by angels
lost along the way.
How we got here doesn’t matter
and where we’re going is just
something for the mind to chew.
I’ll meet you here, in the palace
that difficulty opens—the magical
doorway, the shape of who we ar

UNDERSTANDING LEAVES

The leaves do what we can’t.
They wait their whole lives.
At first they dream of air
and wait to slip from wood.
Then they dream of openness
and wait to stretch in light.
Then they dream of thirst
and wait to soften in the rain.
At last they dream of nothing
and simply unfurl. 
Photosynthesis is how this waiting
is described in the physical world. 
The mystery of waiting is what
turns light into food. 
To wait beyond what we think
we can bear is how things
within turn sweet.

Spiritual Inspiration from Albert Einstein


Spiritual Inspiration from Albert Einstein

The spiritual wisdom of Albert Einstein

Pondering the Unknown with the World's Most Famous Scientist

Though he was the most famous scientist of his time, Albert Einstein knew we could never fully understand the workings of the world within the limitations of the human mind. Experiencing the universe as a harmonious whole, he encouraged the use of intuition to solve problems, marveled at the mystery of God in nature, and applauded the ideals of great spiritual teachers such as Buddha and Jesus.

In Search of the Cosmic Man

The following is an excerpt of his writings that explore the meeting place between science and spirituality, giving us a fascinating glimpse into how Einstein saw the world:

How can we overcome our fears? How do we reconnect with our intuition? What is the power and magic of using your intention? To what extent can we use it to reach the life we truly want? Who are we really? How can we experience enlightenment, oneness, and our divine identity?

James Cameron reveals new Terminator title, hints at Aliens sequel


Neill Blomkamp's proposed sequel with Ripley and Hicks might not be dead after all... 

James Cameron, The Story of Science Fiction, AMC
On November 1st, The Terminator franchise will receive a much-needed reboot from Tim Miller with a story designed by original series creator James Cameron. Now, after months and months of calling it either “Tim Miller’s Terminator reboot” or “Terminator 6” or “No, Cameron is back on the new Terminator! Seriously!,” we finally have a working title to chew on.
“We’re calling it Terminator: Dark Fate,” Cameron toldYahoo! Entertainment. “That’s our working title right now.”

Listen: Is our universe a hologram?


Listen: Is our universe a hologram?



A scientist explains one of the most mind-blowing ideas in physics in under 5 minutes.

Matthew Headrick, an assistant professor of physics at Brandeis University, works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics — the holographic principle. It holds that the universe is a three-dimensional image projected off a two-dimensional surface, much like a hologram emerges from a sheet of photographic film.
In this first episode of The Take: Big Ideas Explained in Under Five Minutes (listen, above), Headrick explains the holographic principle and why it excites scientists. Hendricks said:
It turns out that this idea of the holographic principle or the universe is a hologram … actually helps us to solve some of the thorniest puzzles that arise when you try to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity.
As theoretical physicists, we’re not satisfied to have two different theories. We need one, unified theory which encompasses both, and that’s a very hard problem.
 There’s a step-by-step breakdown of the holographic principle here.

Bottom line: A scientist explains the holographic principle of the universe in a five-minute podcast.
