i pray with our mother earth for peace. i pray for gentleness + compassion to return to us. i pray for us to return to our roots, to our hearts, to nature. to simplicity. to harmony. to life. to kindness. to the elements. to ourselves and to one another. i pray for unity of all people. all colours, all creeds, all tribes, all kingdoms, all beings. i pray with the plants, i pray with the winds, i pray with my ancestors. because they hear. they know. they are here. when i feel alone in this path, they show me that i am not alone at all. they remind me that nothing else is more vital. that this life is pure magic but it seems like most are in a deep slumber… we have forgotten our ways. we have forgotten how to connect with each other, how to love ourselves unconditionally, how to tend to our mother earth that gives us everything we need. she teaches us, she feeds us, she gives us water to drink and air to breathe, she gives us plants to teach and heal, she gives us natural fibers to clothe ourselves, she gives us wood and clay and sand and straw and bamboo and stones and infinite things more to build our homes. she gives us fire to warm ourselves, to cook our food, to bring everyone together around it. she gives us magic. she gives us life. and how do we give back? i pray that we remember to honour the earth, each other + ourselves. and each little action, as little as it may seem, is helping + has a deep value. everything matters. <3

Diffraction of Electrons.
According to the poll of the greatest physicists conducted by The New York Times, the experiment with electron diffraction is one of the most astonishing studies in the history of science.
There is a source that emits a stream of electrons onto photosensitive screen. And there is an obstruction in the way of these electrons, a copper plate with two slits. What kind of picture can be expected on the screen if the electrons are imagined as small charged balls? Two strips illuminated opposite to the slits. In fact, the screen displays a much more complex pattern of alternating black and white stripes. This is due to the fact that, when passing through the slit, electrons begin to behave not as particles, but as waves (just like the photons, or light particles, which can be waves at the same time). These waves interact in space, either quenching or amplifying each other, and as a result, a complex pattern of alternating light and dark stripes appears on the screen. At the same time, the result of this experiment does not change, and if electrons pass through the slit not as one single stream, but one by one, even one particle can be a wave. Even a single electron can pass simultaneously through both slits (and this is also one of the main postulates of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, when particles can simultaneously display both their “usual” physical properties and exotic properties as a wave).
But what about the observer? The observer makes this complicated story even more confusing. When physicists, during similar experiments, tried to determine with the help of instruments which slit the electron actually passes through, the image on the screen had changed dramatically and became a “classic” pattern with two illuminated sections opposite to the slits and no alternating bands displayed. Electrons did not seem to show their wave nature under the watchful eye of observers. Is this some kind of a mystery? There is a more simple explanation: no observation of a system can be carried out without physically impacting it.

Brainwaves Synchronize to the Speed of Talking, Influencing the Way We Hear Words
The findings show neural dynamics predict the timing of future speech items based on past speech rate, and this influences how ongoing words are heard.
The research is in Current Biology. (full open access)
