Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Take a tour through the Big Questions of the origin, arrangement and future of the universe with these talks by Sean Carroll, Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene

Sitting in my room (back home in NYC) listening to Interstellar soundtrack is just an awe-inspiring experience! It was an epic scifi film, one with emotion, action, love, and sweeping landscapes of a ‘strange new world’. Surely everyone who has seen this movie probably felt some element of that.

But what really kept the philosophical meaning of the movie was the OST. I mean the score by Hans Zimmer is just absolutely dramatic and otherworldly! It just makes you fell as if you were witnessing the grandeur of our universe, the impossible and the pioneering voyages, right from the characters mind.

Oh (still listening to the music) and the empowering sound whilst giving us the violins, organs and horns of the epicness made his soundtracks magnificent. And, its just beautiful how Hans sneaks in his moving piano themes that brings out the characters emotions and yearning so very well. It just stamps these vibes and what you make out of the movie scene right into your head. 

Ok getting to the point here: Of course one of Interstellar’s novum is love. I still ponder on Brand’s quote “Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.“ I mean Interstellar does not try to say that love is another dimension. It's actually just a beautiful metaphor?

Look, all of the emotional factors in Interstellar simply should not undermine the idea concept that love is just as solid and strong as the other forces making up our planet universe. So talking chemistry, love is no more unstable than certain radioactive elements, it pushes and pulls us better than gravity ever could, and it endures through time (metaphor, duh).

People who have seen interstellar interpret it in many different ways! Some are just blindly wowed by the science and how epic it was, and some.. 

(my eyes are drooping right now...i should perhaps get some sleep lol) But really, Interstellar is utterly filled with deep elements of existential-philosophical subtext! I’m afraid to use the word ‘love’ outside the quotation marks but yea! I’m just rambling at this moment.

ASTRO PHOTO

A peek into the sky.

Just used my DLSR and some tweaks (no cheating, meaning no Photohop filters)

Color in this photo is used to highlight interesting features of the celestial object being seen. It is added to the separate black-and-white exposures that are combined to make the final image.

Filters allow variety of wavelengths of light to be visible to our eye. Since the cameras can detect light outside the visible light spectrum, the use of filters allows scientists to study "invisible" features of objects — those only visible in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths.

by the way, the only way to see stars from New York City is by using a DSLR/telescope

That engraved disk on the Voyager encompasses everything about our history (scientific achievements).
