POI: Escapism and Alexis.

Today's POI is inspired by a video by one of my faverite YouTubers Alexis, aka MimmbleMimmble. Though she doesn't have that big a fanbase, but she's in my top five faverite vloggers. (This is saying something, as I'm now subscribed to 45 channels. Eeep!) So yeah, I reccomend checking out her channel.
Here's the video:

It is so easy to ignore world troubles. We are so cought up in our own little worlds, with our own little worries. And we don't want to think about what's happening in Libya, or the earthquake in New Zealand, or the death and poverty and suffering, because it's hard. And it's okay to admit that, because we're only human. But I think it's important that we step back once in a while, and put everything in perspective, and realise how lucky we really are. That doesn't mean to be always thinking about these things, because even with the best will in the world, that would never be possible. Lives are to be lived, and life goes on. But as Alexis puts it, we are so cought up in our own escapism that sometimes we lose track of what really matters, and what it really is to suffer as we worry about our hair and Justin Beiber and slow internet connections. The world will never be perfect, but the least we can do is acknowledge these imperfections and where possible try and make things right. And it's hard, and at points we will fail, but we must try.
The way I see things, with all problems, big and small, we have a choice- pain or ignorance? Ignorance is the cowards way out, and it's so easy. So easy to just let things fly over our heads and not think about them. I know I do. But sometimes we must choose pain, or else loose sight of what matters, and who we really are.
So which do you choose? Pain or ignorance?

POI: The double slit experiment

So, here's my first POI (point of interest)for this week. Let's start off with something simple, like quantom physics:D But seriously, it's hard to get your head around, but SO COOL, especially this particular experiment, which is called the double slit experiment. I don't think I could explain it very well, but I found a video on Youtube that is good.



Is your mind blown? It should be. I heard someone say on a tv show once that if you arn't completely baffled my quantom mechanics, you havn't understood it properly.
And I think this particular experiment is one of the most fasinating, because not only is it saying something can exist in two places at once, but it's saying that matter, the very stuff we're made of, is aware. ASDfsdfjsdh~~~ I love it:B This is definately a branch of science I'd be interested in working in when I'm older.

Blog changes?

I'm thinking of doing a blog every Saturday where I write about something that has interested me in the week. It could be about anything, just as long as it's not too trivial. Could be a TV show/ book/ film I like, an idea, theorys about dark matter... (kidding, I won't put you through that. Probably. I'm reading up about what it really is at the moment. What the frick?!)
It would be good for me because most things I find interesting I tend to forget if I don't write them down somewhere^^;
Thoughts?
