Cosmology:
Cosmology is the scientific study of the large-scale properties and origins of the universe. It explores questions related to the nature of space, time, and the fundamental forces that govern the cosmos.
The
James Webb
Space Telescope was designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the successor of
Hubble
, this cosmic time machine saw back to the first formation of stars and galaxies within days of operation.
Keep up to date on
new images
.
Another new space telescope inculdes the
Euclid
Space Telescope. Unlike Webb, this one records visable light, the goal being to better understand dark energy and dark matter by accurately measuring the eccelerating expansion of the universe.
The
Euclid Space Telescope
that was recetly launched has already outpaced JWST in terms of scale. One of the first images released containing over 100,000 galaxies begins its journy to map the universe and uncover information about dark matter/energy.
Nature and Climate:
There are a variety of solutions to the crissis of cilmate change, and this is no coincidence. The time for comprehensive aggressive measures, is now, and it demands a united global commitment to secure a sustainable future. If we could feel what we are doing to the Earth, we would stop immediately. Nature is not mute, it is a man who is deaf
Fungi are more related to the animal kindom than green plants: humans have very well underestimated the roll of the fungal kingdom. If you want to know more about how I think, just look up
Paul Stamets
Understanding our communion with the mass ecosystem that is earth is something I look for in life.
Linguistics:
Linguistic Relativity (Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis):
The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis suggests that language can shape thought. It proposes that the structure and vocabulary of a language can influence the way speakers perceive and categorize the world. Different languages may highlight or emphasize certain concepts, leading to variations in cognitive processes and worldview.
Currently learning 普通话中文 and لعربية to support a more rounded world view and to give different perspectives otherwise unseen.
Useful Resources:
Polylang.pro
can be used to make a multilingual website using wordpress.
Langue Transfer
is one of the best free resources to learn a language. Through conversations between a teacher and student, this method of learning teaches you how to think like the language rather than pure memorization.

Web Design:
My first major experience with web design was Netcentric my sophmore year of college. Through that class I learned basic HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript.
Sometimes I practice on
FreeCodeCamp
, this is a very valuable website for coding experience and industry recognized certifications.
I keep a collection of web design related recources
Here.
Cyber-Security
We are in the golden age of randomeware and AI! Which means using the internet safely and effectively is a necessity
Here is a collection of free or open-source software everyone should know about:
MalwareBites
provides malware protection and removal without running in the background of your system and eating resources.
Proton
is a FREE VPN that dosen't suck. Any time you connect to the internet, you are broadcasting your system.
Vivaldi
is my favorite browser. Built in add + tracker blocker, full customization for the UI, and cross sync between all your systems. Imagine watching anything with adds in 2024 lol.
Glarysoft
provides user friendly diagnostics on your system. If you use windows I would highly suggest this.

Second Brain:
Obsidian
is a note-taking system designed around linking notes and ideas together.
Paired with the PARA structure (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive), this note-taking system allows me to collect knowledge and create notes.
From these notes, I can reinforce knowledge, build resources, and use experiences to my advantage.
The goal is a dynamic database of knowledge and daily notes. Every time I open the database I have to click through links and ideas. Over time this will grow and connect ideas between topics.
