📅 🔭🌌 On this day in 1990: The Hubble Space Telescope launched, revolutionizing our view of the cosmos despite a famously flawed mirror. When first images came back blurry, #NASA discovered the primary mirror was too flat by just 25.4 nanometers. After a dramatic 1993 repair mission, Hubble began capturing the #space imagery that has changed our understanding of the #universe.

Popular Mechanics · Scientists Discovered Something Kinda Alarming: The Universe Shouldn't Actually ExistBy Jackie Appel

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Constantly think of the Universe as one living creature, embracing one being and one soul; how all is absorbed into the one consciousness of this living creature; how it compasses all things with a single purpose, and how all things work together to cause all that comes to pass, and their wonderful web and texture.
 
[Ὡς ἓν ζῷον τὸν κόσμον, μίαν οὐσίαν καὶ ψυχὴν μίαν ἐπέχον, συνεχῶς ἐπινοεῖν καὶ πῶς εἰς αἴσθησιν μίαν τὴν τούτου πάντα ἀναδίδοται καὶ πῶς ὁρμῇ μιᾷ πάντα πράσσει καὶ πῶς πάντα πάντων τῶν γινομένων συναίτια καὶ οἵα τις ἡ σύννησις καὶ συμμήρυσις.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 40 (4.40) (AD 161-180) [tr. Farquharson (1944)]

Let’s not flatter ourselves. This is what I am. And so are you. A collection of stuff from the periodic table. Under the surface we are biological robots with extremely advanced CPU installed inside of our craniums. When there’s no longer power, when our bodies start to rot, our personalities, our memories and the very core of ourselves stop existing.

It’s natural and in line with the Universe.
It’s more than a miracle so let’s be grateful and do the best of this One Life we have.

Nothing indicates that there is an afterlife in where we continue existing. Our atoms will but in trillions of other combinations creating something totally new!

Evidence for #StephenHawking's unproven #blackhole theory may have just been found — at the bottom of the sea
The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful #neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of #blackholes and the early #universe.
