I didn't know you, but I wish I did. Why did you have to go? It's always the smart ones. Why?

I hope that one day, women will be able to age gracefully without getting flack for it, like being told they're letting themselves go, or they're getting ugly. It's always about how the woman ages and looks, but not the man.

Earth Prepares To Snap First-Ever Image Of A Black Hole’s Event Horizon

“Instead of a single telescope, 15-to-20 radio telescopes are arrayed across the globe, observing the same target simultaneously. With up to 12,000 kilometers separating the most distant telescopes, objects as small as 15 microarcseconds (μas) can be resolved: the size of a fly on the Moon.”

One of relativity’s oddest predictions is the existence of black holes, objects so dense and massive that nothing, not event light can escape from them. But that lack-of-escaping is limited to a certain volume of space: that within the black hole’s event horizon. Although black holes have been detected and identified, an event horizon has never yet been imaged. That, however, is likely about to change when the Event Horizon Telescope comes online. Given the general relativistic prediction of the size of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy – 37 microarcseconds – and the resolution of the EHT that spans the diameter of Earth, its event horizon should be visible. Speculations about black holes date back to 1783, and just a few decades after the first black hole candidate was identified, we’re now prepared to directly image one.

Are event horizons real? Get ready, humanity. We’re about to find out!

I understand that these things are normal and don’t mean anything deeper than what they are, but narcissistic me wants to be the one and only.

Ronghui Chen，中國 — Worker at a Christmas decoration factory, China

Kevin Frayer’s photographs of illegal Chinese steel factories look like postcards from the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Thick smoke spews out of tall stacks, steam rises from vast pits, and molten steel flows across the ground like lava. All around, men toil without even basic protective gear.  “It was like stepping back in time,” says Frayer, who spent four days at two steel factories in Inner Mongolia in early November. “The way of working seemed unchanged and unaffected by technology.”

Maybe since I’ve been working in inventory for two years now, I’ve grown to be really interested in how the individuals who manufacture the products of our companies live. I know in a nutshell, it’s the same-work long hours, eat, sleep, etc. I’m just fascinated by the general globalization of it I guess. I mean, what’s it like living in the middle of butt fuck nowhere in central Asia, working at some of these less-than-ethical conditioned factories?

Not to sound like a romantic, because everywhere around the world, everyone has the same general motives that get them by everyday, I’m just interested in what it’s like, just living in other countries.

I don’t know what better way to explain this.

Well, it’s been forever since I’ve written about anything. So much has changed, man, I can’t even compare how different I feel about things two years ago versus now. But that’s what happens when you’re on your own. 

I didn’t really feel like writing about anything tonight, but I know I’ll be studying for finals this week and I’ll wish I had took the time to write about what I feel like writing about. 

I don’t know where to start. I’m not exactly the same person anymore. But one thing I know for sure is that I want to get back to my old self when it comes to writing--more having some sort of passion for something that’s enough for me to rant or write about. I just need another hobby right now. 

[chapooya]

Well, I had to drop a close friend tonight. I’m not going to to talk about who’s to blame and what, but it had to be done for now. For now that is. It’s too toxic. I wish I could talk to somebody.
