Black Holes & Entanglement

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.

• Nobody is sure what lies inside a black hole.

• Black holes distort passing light rays, causing "lensing".

• Black holes can pull material away from nearby stars.

• Entanglement: Widely-separated particles can be spookily "entangled". Two sets of particles that are separated in space are mysteriously "entangled". They are part of a single, indivisible whole, so that the information needed to describe them can't be found in either set alone, but in the spooky links between them.

Ayreon

AyReOn.

Familiar with "rock operas" ('Tommy', The Who), thematic musical projects (Alan Parsons Project / 'Tubular Bells', Mike Oldfield / 'Sgt. Pepper's', The Beatles / albums from Pink Floyd: Animals, Ummagumma, The Wall) and you like music from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Yes or EmersonLake&Palmer?

In that case I would like to draw your attention to Arjen Lucassen, a Dutch singer, songwriter, composer, multi instrumentalist and record producer.

The track title 'Pink Beatles in a Purple Zeppelin'  from the album 'Lost in the New Real' reflects that he's influenced by the holy trinity: Beatles, Floyd, Zeppelin (and Deep Purple?)

Stuff of Matter

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 been observed by eye, it doesn't emit or absorb light or other electromagnetic radiation at any significant level. Instead, its existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large scale structure of the universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter).

With the aid of the Hubble Space Telescope it was possible to identify a small filament of dark matter, an invisible cosmic structure that can only be detected by the gravitational effects it has on its surroundings. Scientists have been able to construct a 3-D view of the filament, the first time ever that the difficult-to-detect dark matter has been measured in such detail (https://www.facebook.com/AstrophysicsAndAstronomy).

First 3-D model of dark matter

The Periodic Table of Elements: 

The periodic table of elements according to relative abundance. The table will vary for other celestial bodies. Who cares?

The version of the periodic table of elements below visualizes the occurrence of the particular elements in objects of daily life.
