Experiment confirms a Quantum Physics Theory

Quantum Mechanics is such a wonderful field of study which could bring us to the understanding of our nature ( or close to it). I encourage you to keep an eye on it’s unfolding and ….maybe you consider pursuing a career in this direction! ♥ 

I bring to your attention an article about  new research shedding more light on the realm of material existence ( having implications on the  materialistic view of Universe which is still dominant nowadays)

A recent experiment by researchers at Australia National University into the quantum behavior of particles seems to suggest that reality appears not to exist until it is actually measured

27 may important experiment
Professor Andrew Truscott with PhD student Roman Khakimov proved at National University of Australia that : “At the quantum level, reality does not exist if you are not looking at it.”

“The atoms did not travel from A to B. It was only when they were measured at the end of the journey that their wave-like or particle-like behavior was brought into existence. Measurement is everything.”

“If one chooses to believe that the atom really did take a particular path or paths then one has to accept that a future measurement is affecting the atom’s past”, said Truscott.

Science reflections

I post a few statements/questions and I invite you to reflect  and let us know your opinion:

  1. The same force which causes objects on Earth to fall to the Earth also causes objects in the heavens to move along their circular and elliptical paths. Quite amazingly, the laws of mechanics which govern the motions of objects on Earth also govern the movement of objects in the heavens.11
  2. Newton’s comparison of the acceleration of the apple to that of the moon led to a surprisingly simple conclusion about the nature of gravity into the entire universe.
  3. Why planet’s orbits are elliptical and why as the planet is closest from the sun, the planet is moving fastest and as the planet is farthest from the sun, it is moving slowest.

Dangers of Fast Food (top 5)

5. Disgusting animal conditions

Chickens are kept in a cage of about 20×20 cm waiting to be killed or to lay an egg. They are also bumped in with antibiotics. They are staying two or three

4. Weird ingredients

“What is in my food?” this is the question you should put every time you eat fast food. For example some fast food’s nuggets contain a chemical preservative called tertiary butylhydroquinone .  That’s not all, either. Some chicken products are mechanically separated, which means those scraps that would normally go to waste are ending up in your nuggets.

3. Food safety

Sad to say, many of the employees hired on to do the cooking, food handling and prep don’t have the necessary training or food safety education they need to do it right. The companies often don’t offer training because these restaurants have such a high turnover  rate. On any given day, you could have someone preparing your hambuger who didn’t wash their hands or was playing with frozen raw meat right before.

2. Slime

It’s not something many of the restaurants use anymore to preserve their meats. But, that’s not the only slime you may find at these fast food joints. In fact, a few fast food restaurants were shut down because they had slime on their ice machines. Before you take a slurp of that diet Coke, make sure you aren’t drinking bacteria-infested slime instead.

  1. Low food quality

It doesn’t take an expert to see that most fast food chains don’t use the highest quality of ingredients. You can tell by the rubbery patty, the wilted lettuce leaves and the extra-chewy chicken. They use the cheapest parts to make the products so when you’re eating your hamburger you have no darn clue what part of the cow it came from.

 

Why sugar is an enemy of our health

food cravings -how to win the battle

  • Added sugar contains no essential nutrients and is bad for your teeth.
  • Added sugar is high in fructose,which can overload your liver
  • Overloading the liver with fructose can cause NON-alcholic fatty liver disease.
  • Sugar Can Cause Insulin Resistance, a Stepping Stone Towards Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes
  • The Insulin Resistance Can Progress to Type II Diabetes

I hop eI convinced you to eat less sugar!

Yasmin’s opinion about the National Examination

I would like to  share my opinion about the National Examination for grade 6:

Romanian and English Exam (2nd of June):

In my opinion, the romanian and english exams were the easiest! All the exercises were based on the 2 texts given to us; one in Romanian and one in English. The texts gave us information about the popular movie ‘Frozen’.  I didn’t have any difficulties in this exam.

Math, Biology and Physics Exam (3rd of June):

The Maths exam was probably the hardest out of the two for me. Even though all the exercises were very common things that we’ve been learning during the lessons, I made a couple of mistakes. I feel that if I could have paid more attention in the end, I would have done much better.


The exams were actually much easier than I had expected, which was a huge relief in my opinion! ☆

Food combining rules

Even more, if you want do be convinced about eating well and combining food properly : CLICK HERE

In many countries, students are taught in schools ( since very early age) the importance of eating consciously.

In our country, there are timid attempts to draw people’s attention to this subject. ( this article is an example)

Cosmologie – Misiunea Planck ESA

Dupa cum stiti scoala noastra participa la concursul stiintific interscolar de astronomie ,,Nicolaus Copernic” organizat de Asociatia Secular-Umanista din Romania. Tema acestui concurs este ,,Cosmologia”, cum a aparut si cum evolueaza universul.

Impreuna cu colegii mei am facut mai multe proiecte si machete despre misiunile spatiale ale Agentiei Spatiale Europene ,,E.S.A.“ si despre Bing Bang pentru a incerca sa aflam mai multe lucruri despre cum a aparut Universul.
Eu am facut un proiect despre misiunea spatiala ,,Planck”. Planck a fost lansată în 2009 pentru a masura microundele din fundalul universului. Agentia Spatiala Europeana a aratat in urma acestei misiuni ca Universul este ceva mai bătrân decât se credea până acum şi totodată mai ciudat. Universul pare sa aiba defapt o varsta de 13,81 miliarde de ani, nu de 13,75 miliarde cum se credea pana atunci. Totodata s-a descoperit ca Universul conţine ceva mai multă materie decât se credea până acum.
Misiunea a inceput sa se apropie de final in luna august 2013 cand telescopul Planck a fost indepartat de pe orbita.
Va asteptam la scoala pentru a vizita expozitia realizata de noi si a afla mai multe informatii pe aceasta tema!
