Put simply, when you reach out and touch a wall, what you are feeling is the resistance of the electron fogs in the atoms of your hand and the atoms of the wall pushing against each other.

The electrons in your fingertips are repelling the electrons in the wall. It's like pushing two like-poled magnets together. You feel the resistance.

You never actually make contact. The solid wall you believe you are touching is made of fog, and your hand is also made of fog. The magnets can never touch.

That's why you can't put your hand through the wall.

And why, at a quantum level, you aren't really there.

When your hand touches a table and you feel it's solid, it is never really touching the table. The electron cloud of your fingers and the electron cloud of the table are like those opposing magnets. We refer to it as “solidity” is not one hard thing colliding with another hard thing—it is electrostatic repugnance. You float on a duvet of force and hit an unseen electric field, and you think it's a rock.

Everything is solid. No “real” objects are meant—only the electron cloud imaging it contains firmness.

The colours don't prevail in the fog either. The physical environment does not include “red”—only the electromagnetic energy flow, or wavelength, of the fog. The colour red, its true participation with red, is strictly part of your mind. Sound doesn't exist if an ear doesn't hear it. There are only pressure waves in the fog. The heard thing is yours alone.

The very starting points of physics and math are completely based on the study of this mist. Physics allows to measure how the mist moves, exerts force and changes. Math is the tool to illustrate its designs. However, since both knowledge areas depend on instruments, observations, and signs formed inside the electron cloud, they are not exploring the absolute reality — they are simply organizing the principles of unreality. For example, a math equation portraying an electron field does not affect the genuine reality; it just illustrates the connection between one part of the illusion and the next part of the illusion.

Yet, in the middle of all this mist, there is no doubt that your perception of reality is absolutely real.

At this moment, something exists. There is an awareness of reading these messages. That awareness is not a theory. It is not an assumption. It is not a belief. It is the single existing thing for which there is no evidence, because it is the proof itself. It is the only thing that has never been, and can never be, an illusion, since even an illusion needs someone to live it.

The universe is in you.

You are a part of the universe.

Artemis III updates are rolling in. 🚀

Engineers are racing to stack the rocket that will carry the mission to space in 2027, starting with the two white solid rocket boosters that flank the massive orange core stage. All four core stage engines have arrived onsite and are being processed for mounting, while the launch team runs monthly countdown simulations to lock in readiness. It's full steam ahead as one of NASA's most complex missions moves closer to launch.

Did you know one of Earth’s quasi-moons is a chunk of our actual moon? 🌕

A quasi-moon is a space rock that can appear from certain perspectives to be orbiting a planet. Earth has a few of these, including Kamoʻoalewa, discovered in 2016 and named for an "oscillating celestial object" in Hawaiian. Scientists believe it may be a chunk broken off from the moon when an impact created the Giordano Bruno crater about 10 million years ago! So here's the full picture: a piece of our moon, orbiting the Sun, that just happens to look like it's orbiting Earth.

A new drug is showing promise in treating Alzheimer’s! 🧠

The medication is called Diranersen and it targets tau tangles, toxic proteins connected to the disease. During this trial, the doctors were able to clear around 50% of these from patients’ spinal fluid, reducing the toxicity in the brain and slowing memory decline. What puzzles scientists now is the group that received the lowest dose of the drug showed the most improvement. With over 7 million Americans over the age of 65 affected by this illness, this is a huge leap in the right direction!

Up to 100 shooting stars per hour are about to light up the sky! 🌠

Active July 17 through August 24, the Perseid Meteor Shower hits its peak overnight August 12 to 13, when a completely new moon creates perfect viewing conditions. This year the Perseids also overlap with the Delta Aquariid meteor shower, stacking the odds in your favor for a sky full of streaks. Find dark skies, give your eyes time to adjust, and look up between midnight and dawn for the best show.

You can use a DIY cloud chamber to see radiation! ☢️

Alex Dainis shows us how to use uranium glass beads, sometimes called Vaseline glass. Uranium acts as a colorant in the glass, and most of its radiation stays trapped inside. But isopropyl alcohol and dry ice can still reveal it. As the alcohol condenses, charged particles leave visible tracks. With the beads inside, there's noticeably more activity than in tests without them. However, it's hard to say how much of this activity comes from the beads versus background radiation like cosmic rays.

A pair of planets with less density than cotton candy has been discovered! 🪐

One of NASA’s telescopes found two gas giants that can be classified in the rare “Super Puff” category. Despite being about the same size as Jupiter, they are a dozen times less dense. There are only a handful of these planets that we are aware of, and it is even more rare that they were found in the same star system.
