Came across the amazing Chandra X-ray Observatory set on the Smithsonian’s Flickr, and was blown away. Every time I pay close attention to pictures of space, life’s perspective changes. It reminds me of two theories I used to tell my friends when I was around 12 years old.

One was that I believed that life is nothing more than energy, what I meant, was that human life is nothing more than a glimpse of time, a transition of energy and we are just a small part of a huge explosion.
For example an atomic bomb, if you could imagine the explosion in slow motion you can notice the blast energy that expands until it ages and then dies. Through this expansion of energy, particles are charged with energy and given a lifespan of life and death. Just like humans we are born, we age and finally die.

My other theory, was that we could define the infinity of space by comparing our solar system to an atom. Where the sun is the nucleus and the planets around the sun are electrons in constant movement. Therefore we can look at any object in a different light, and notice that atoms are part of anything that can be touched physically. In conclusion, earth is made by an infinite amount of atoms, Earth is then an electron in the solar system, which is a giant atom. Therefore our solar system is an atom part of giant object in an other world that is a particle in another place and so on… And same goes in reverse as any atom on earth has electrons/planets, and they are made up of other smaller solar systems.

And then went out to skateboard.

    Interesting observations. Life in itself is quite complex.

    Amazing images
