It is the responsibility of the student to practice discernment in his/her search for greater understanding. You will find a variety of perspectives on these pages to help you clarify your own thinking. Don't believe something just because you read it, test it out. Suspend judgment, suspend beliefs, keep an open mind, listen to your own inner wisdom, discern the Truth for yourself.
Gamma Ray All Sky Map
Picture Credit: NASA, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory
Explanation: What if you could "see" gamma rays? This computer processed image represents a map of the entire sky at photon energies above 100 million electron Volts. These gamma-ray photons are more than 40 million times more energetic than visible light photons and are blocked from the Earth's surface by the atmosphere. In the early 1990s NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, in orbit around the Earth, scanned the entire sky to produce this picture. A diffuse gamma-ray glow from the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy is clearly seen across the middle. The nature and even distance to some of the fainter sources remain unknown.
The Eye of God

The image depicts the so-called Helix Nebula, described by astronomers as "a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases." At its center is dying, Sun-like star which has ejected masses of dust and gas to form tentacle-like filaments stretching toward an outer rim composed of the same material. The Sun itself may look like this in several billion years.

...Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.- Mother Teresa
[T]he point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.
– Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
--- Albert Einstein
The world of science lives fairly comfortably with paradox. We know that light is a wave, and also that light is a particle. The discoveries made in the infinitely small world of particle physics indicate randomness and chance, and I do not find it any more difficult to live with the paradox of a universe of randomness and chance and a universe of pattern and purpose than I do with light as a wave and light as a particle. Living with contradiction is nothing new to the human being.”
– Madeleine L'Engle, Two-Part Invention
... the defining characteristic of this new phase of science and Western thought is the integration of opposites, including a synthesis embracing both rational understanding and the mystical experience of unity. --Wolfgang Pauli
