At the atomic level, nothing ever truly touches. What we feel as ‘touch’ is our brain interpreting electromagnetic repulsion. The object is real, the sensation is a constructed illusion.

What the Night Sky on Mars may look like! There's no twinkle. Twinkling is what air does to light, and there's barely any air. So millions of stars just sit there. sharp. silent.

If you drove a car at 60 mph, it would take you over 5,700 years to reach this spot. New Horizons spacecraft got this view after traveling for 9 years and covered 3 billion miles. These mountains are 11,000 feet tall, but they aren't made of rock. At -380°F, water-ice becomes as hard as solid granite. You are looking at a world so cold that the nitrogen you breathe freezes into solid, moving glaciers. 🌍

This is Mars! 🪐🤯 It’s honestly terrifying how much this looks like a random desert on Earth. Just a casual 225 million miles away. The clarity is unreal.

This is what the sky from Earth might look like if TON 618, the second largest known black hole in the universe, were as close as Alpha Centauri, the closest stellar system to our Solar System. That's 25 trillion miles away from us.

The invisible Glass experiment Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium. On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely. When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack. Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back. Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way. The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank. After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth. But the pike never tried to eat them again. Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there. A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome. It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

Everyone's out here waiting for aliens to arrive. WE are the aliens. A camera we built is orbiting mars right now, staring into a crater no living thing has ever seen. crossed the void, showed up unannounced, peeked inside. In this story we're the visitors from another world. and honestly? kinda iconic of us 🪐
