75 billion cells working to keep you alive in a universe where you are made of stardust and capable of incredible feats; a universe where you can create infinite scenarios in your mind and share them or keep them to yourself; a universe where one small action can impact your entire life, and you’re sitting on tumblr eating nachos in your underwear. You made the right choice.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

So last month my Physics teacher demonstrated sound waves using fire and Bohemian Rhapsody. The song is played into a tube filled with gas, and the sound waves cause the gas to compress, changing the height of the flames (I think that was how he explained it anyways)
can you explain a bit about the curvature of spacetime or how it's curved?
Thanks for asking!! It’s a little difficult ti picture curved space, so I highly recommend this video, it’s phenomenal at helping you understand how gravity arises from space and time being warped//curved by matter.
I think the above video does a phenomenal job at explaining gravity in terms of warping space and time; definitely watch it. The heavier an object, the more it warps space-time; this means that time gets slowed down with heavier objects, since the space and time become more warped. You may have heard that time flows slower on the earth than it does further up from its surface; time flows faster for astronauts since they experience less of earth’s gravity (since they are further away).
This visualization was the best one I could find? but tbh it’s still hard for pretty much everybody, including the world’s best physicists, to visualize and wrap their head around. Let me know if you have any other questions or need a clarification!! Also, you might want to check out the relativity/general relativity tag on my blog if you want to see some of the other posts i’ve made.

Approaching Jupiter
This enhanced color view of Jupiter’s south pole was created by citizen scientist Gabriel Fiset using data from the JunoCam instrument on NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Oval storms dot the cloudscape. Approaching the pole, the organized turbulence of Jupiter’s belts and zones transitions into clusters of unorganized filamentary structures, streams of air that resemble giant tangled strings. The image was taken on Dec. 11, 2016 at 9:44 a.m. PST (12:44 p.m. EST), from an altitude of about 32,400 miles (52,200 kilometers) above the planet’s beautiful cloud tops.
