Matter is an illusion: Physicality is Actually Buzzing Energy Particles

/>
Everything you see around you every day consists of physical matter – or so it seems. When we take a closer look at objects we see that they consist of atoms.Have you ever tried to imagine how small an atom is, or how much empty space it consists of?

Atoms were thought to be the smallest building blocks of the universe for around 2000 years. We now know that atoms consist of smaller particles and that they are mostly empty space.

In this video Jonathan Bergmann uses understandable metaphors to give you a sense of the insanely small size and the enormous density of the nucleus of an atom. Prepare to have your mind blown.
As you just saw, atoms consist of vast amounts of empty space.

Let’s take this a bit further.


When quantum physicists look closely at atoms, they keep finding smaller building blocks and more empty space. Scientists now believe that tiny vibrating strings of energy make up the building blocks of the nucleus. In fact, all“matter” seems to consist of tiny vibrating strings of energy. In other words, the physical world you see around you consists of electromagnetic waves – light! Your physical body is not that physical at all. It is light, or energy.

Think about it. You are not touching the chair you are sitting on; you are levitating on an electrostatic field!



Science and spirituality now merge in this paradigm shift from matter to emptiness, from physicality to energy, from objects to a unified field of consciousness. It is time we all make this shift in perception. It is time we see that on one level everything is emptiness. Consciousness is what creates reality.

Amazing things start to happen when you realize your true nature as empty awareness. The atoms that make up your body are empty space. Tiny vibrating strands of energy make up the building blocks of these atoms.

You are a being of light.

Some Crazy Facts For The Cure Of Hiccups.

Everyone gets hiccups at some point in their lives, it’s totally normal. But if you get them too often, or find them the most annoying things to ever leave your body, you should probably check out these top 20 most bizarre cures for hiccups!

1. Pinch your nose and drink a glass of water.
   
   
   An effective method to cure hiccups is to pinch your nose and hold your breath while gulping down a glass of water. It also work if you swallow a large amount of food at one time such as rice. If you still have hiccups after the first attempt, you should repeat the steps again. Usually, the hiccups will disappear with 2 – 3 attempts at most.
2. Eat one teaspoon of honey.
   
   Add one teaspoon of honey into a glass of water. Before drinking it, make sure you have already stirred it thoroughly. Honey has the ability to tickle the vagus nerve and put an end to your hiccups.
3. Use two straws to drink a glass of water.
   
   Fill a glass with water and put two straws in it with one of the straws pressing against the side of the glass. After that, you are to drink the water with the two straws. When drinking the water, make sure you gulp down as much water as possible.
4. Sip a teaspoon of spicy sauce.
   
   Some people manage to stop their hiccups by sipping some spicy sauce such as chilli sauce. The sauce will be so hot that it will distract you away to focus on the burning effect on your tongue.
5. Hold your breath while stopping your ear with your fingers.
   
   First of all, you must inhale and exhale the air out once. When exhaling the air, you should force out as much air as possible until you feel like you need to breath in some air again. The next step is to hold your breathe while using your fingers to block your ear and stick your tongue out.
6. Eat dry cocoa powder.
   
   Swallowing a spoonful of cocoa powder may also help you to eliminate your hiccups. Any chocolate drink power will work such as Milo.
7. Stick your tongue out hard.
   
   You can consider sticking your tongue out hard to stimulate the vagus nerve. Pulling your tongue out can ease the spasm on your diaphragm. Doing so can help to get rid of any reflex problem in the mouth.
8. Gulp down water without holding the cup.
   
   Put a cup of water on the table and drink from it without using your hand to hold it. You are to gulp down as much water as possible when bending down to drink from the glass.
9. Eat sweet food.
   
   You can eat something that is very sweet to get rid of the hiccups. For example, you can swallow a teaspoon of sugar. Sugar will irritate the oesophagus of your throat. When the oesophagus is irritated, the phrenic nerve will reset and the hiccups will stop.
10. Eat sour food.
    
    You can bite something that is very sour such as lemon wedge. If you can’t stand the sour taste of the lemon, you can sprinkle some sugar onto the lemon. If you don’t want to eat lemon, you can drink a teaspoon of vinegar.
11. Cough and burp.
    
    You can try to cough or burp to stop the hiccups. When you cough or burp, your diaphragm will become constricted and interrupt the hiccup process.
12. Eat peanut butter.
    
    One traditional remedy for eliminating hiccups is to eat a spoonful of peanut butter. Eating peanut butter requires a lot of chewing. Chewing the peanut butter will interrupt your breathing pattern and stop the hiccups.
13. Breathe in and out of a paper bag.
    
    You can also stop your hiccups by breathing in and out of a paper bag. The paper bag must be put close to your mouth and seal around it tightly. Next, you must deep breathe in and out for at least 10 times. The faster you breathe, the more effective it will be.
14. Take small sips of water.
    
    Taking small sips of water can help to ease your hiccups. You should try to breathe in between each of the small sips of water.
15. Gargling with ice water.
    
    There are many doctors that recommend gargling with ice water to stop the hiccups. You can add some ice cubes into the water to make it cold. When gargling, make sure you don’t swallow the ice cubes, or you’ll have a bigger problem than hiccups!
16. Sniffing strong smells.
    
    Sniffing strong scented smells can cure your hiccups. For example, sniffing the smelling salt can make changes to your breathing pattern. Smelling the lemon wedges and vinegar can also help you to stop your hiccups.
17. Massaging the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
    
    Massaging your mouth roof can help to stimulate the vagus nerve and put the spasm on your diaphragm to an end. A cotton swab can be used to massage your mouth.
18. Hold and breath as you spin around.
    
    As you hold your breath and pinch your nose, spin around in counter-clockwise direction. You can sing a rhyme to help you get through the rotation. Also don’t fall over, or again, hiccups will be the least of your worries!
19. Drink water while holding your ear, with the opposite hands.
    
    Use your right hand to hold your left ear and your left hand to hold your right ear. You must hold your ear lobe gently and avoid pinching it too much. After that, have someone hold a glass of water near to your mouth so that you can drink it. It is a two-man job, but it’s better than telling them they need to scare the hiccups out of you!
20. Drink a cup of water on the floor level.
    
    Put a cup of water on the floor and bend down to drink from it. You should keep on drinking until the hiccups stop. If your hiccup did not stop by the time you finish drinking it, you can refill the glass with water and drink from it again.

The above are some easy, but strange ways you can try to eliminate your hiccups, in the comfort of your own home. However, hiccups can be caused by an underlying medical condition if it happens over a prolonged period of time. In this case, you should go for a check-up at the local hospital to see if it is normal.

Interesting Facts About Pokeball

Where Do Poké Balls Come From?

If you’ve ever wondered where Poké Balls come from, who makes them and how they work, you’re not the only one! Check out these interesting facts about Poké Balls to increase your Pokémon knowledge. Those of you who are true died-hard Pokémon fans will most likely know the answer to these questions already but for those of you don’t know – let me warn you it’s no simple matter.

The invention of the Poké Ball pre-dates the canon by a period of time between 400 – 700 years. In the modern-world of Pokémon, Poké Balls are created mainly by the companies Silph Co. and Devon Corp. However, before such a time of mechanical mass-production was possible, Poké Balls were originally made by Poké Ball experts from a strange fruit native to the Johto region called an Apricorn. One such Poké Ball expert that the player can encounter in the games is Kurt. Kurt resides in the Johto region and can be encountered by the player on the games Gold, Silver, Crystal as well as HeartGold & SoulSilver.

In the games, Kurt will offer to make the player Poké Balls so long as the player brings him Apricorns. There are seven different colours of Apricorn that the player can bring Kurt, these being Green, Red, Blue, Black, Pink, White & Yellow. With these Kurt can craft respectively a Friend Ball, Level Ball, Lure Ball, Heavy Ball, Love Ball, Fast Ball & Moon Ball. This process is done by hollowing out the Apricorn and fitting it with specialist energy-capturing devices. Poké Balls such as Sam’s red twist-top Poké Ball that featured in the opening of the movie Celebi: Voice of The Forest, 40 years before present day, or the ghost Captain’s balls in the episode A Shipful of Shivers over 300 years ago, fit Kurt’s description of handmade Poké Balls to the player.

It’s from Poké Ball experts like Kurt that Poké Balls came from before mass-production, but what about before that? In the Pokémon Animated Series, there have been several artifacts and relics – some similar to the conventional Poké Ball – that have contained Pokémon inside. In the episode The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis there were three ancient artifacts discovered in Pokémopolis that contained a giant Alakazam, Gengar and Jigglypuff. In the episode Battling The Enemy Within! Ash and co. discovered a stone orb similar in size and appearance to a modern Poké Ball within the tomb of the King of Pokélantis. It was rumored that the King of Pokélantis used this orb to trap the legendary Pokémon HO-Oh inside.

As mentioned earlier, the modern Poké Balls are mass-produced by the two companies Silph Co. and Devon Corp. Silph Co. is credited with the creation of the modern Poké Ball, the Great Ball and the Ultra Ball, whereas Devon Corp. are attributed with creating the Luxury Ball, Premier Ball, Nest Ball, Dive Ball, Net Ball, Timer Ball and Repeat Ball. These balls are made from a Metal Shell, a Locking Bar and a Release Button. Roughly about the size of an orange, the modern Poké Ball can be shrunk to the size of a golf ball by pressing the Release Button, which comes in handy for storing many of them in a small space.

Your average normal Poké Ball weighs 5.53 ounces, is 2.5 inches in diameter and 7.85 inches in circumference. A Poké Ball stores and contains Pokémon through the refraction of light energy within the Poké Ball. This comes from an energy source placed at the bottom which refracts light off a series of small reflecting glass panels held to the inside of the Poké Ball’s Metal Shell by copper pins. The light energy refracted from these glass panels is what is able to preserve the energy state of the Pokémon within the Poké Ball.

So there you have it, the origins of the ancient Poké Ball still remain a mystery somewhat, although we know that in more recent history Poké Balls were designed by Poké Ball experts out of the Apricorn fruit. We also know that in modern-day Pokémon, Poké Balls are made largely by the two companies Silph Co. and Devon Corp. And now we also know that the complex process of light-refraction is what is used to store the energy of a Pokémon within the Poké Ball.

I hoped you enjoyed this one and found it as interesting as I did, thanks for reading folks!
