(TMU) – Most of what we see in the world belongs to one of four states of matter: gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas. But there is a 5th state of matter, an exotic “super-atom” that has been almost impossible for scientists to observe on Earth.
Researchers announced this week that while onboard the International Space Station they were able to observe this 5th state under the unique conditions of near-absolute zero temperatures and “micro-gravity.” Insights into this exotic matter could someday help solve the mysteries of quantum mechanics, dark energy, and even the elusive “theory of everything.”
The 5th state of matter, called Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), was first discovered in lab conditions 25 years ago. This unusual “super-atom” forms when atoms of particular kinds of elements (mostly rubidium) reach temperatures near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius). The reason BECs are so important is that when they reach this temperature the atoms merge into one homogenous substance that behaves like a quantum object, meaning it exists as both a particle and a wave simultaneously.
BECs thus represent a mysterious and rare liminal region between the microscopic world governed by quantum physics and the macroscopic world governed by gravity. Such a state presents an ideal experimental playground for scientists to dig into the secrets and anomalies of the quantum universe.
However, it is virtually impossible for researchers to observe BECs on Earth because the force of gravity destabilizes the magnetic fields which act as a trellis holding the volatile “super-atom” together. Earth-bound scientists are left with only one-hundredths of a second before a BEC falls apart.
Researchers aboard the ISS discovered that in the microgravity of orbital space, they could observe BECs in the specially developed Cold Atom Lab for a full second or longer.
“Microgravity allows us to confine atoms with much weaker forces since we don’t have to support them against gravity,” said Robert Thompson from the California Institute for Technology, Pasadena.
Microgravity also allowed them to use weaker magnetic fields and colder temperatures, which facilitated the condensates demonstrating more exotic quantum effects.
The observation of the fifth form of matter is considered a groundbreaking achievement that has huge potential ramifications for the study of quantum mechanics and dark energy. Scientists believe that by finally understanding these two fields, they may be able to unite the classical physics of gravity with quantum physics into a “theory of everything.”
In the past, our major insights into the inner workings of nature have come from particle accelerators and astronomical observatories; in the future, I believe precision measurements using cold atoms will play an increasingly important role,” Thompson said.
In future experiments, researchers hope to try potassium atoms so they can see the result of two BECs merging.

Do you find yourself grappling with thoughts that bring you down? If so, subtle programing may exist within you and be negatively affecting your mind and body. It is true that positive thoughts are a by product of a connection with higher self. Yet, when our mind is interrupted during the course of the day with negative thoughts and feelings, we may still be in a victim mentality state of mind. Victim mentality keeps us small, frustrated, and helpless. Victim mentality blames another and worse yet, yourself, for negative circumstances. Life can be better that this. It does not mean perfection, but it does mean peace of mind and contentment.
What is the Ideal State of Being?
Could it be peace of mind? This is a byproduct of belief and the universal energy that creates and restores harmony and balance. We all are energetic beings. We experience life as a human and that experience is what makes us an individual, unique. Another way of stating this is: The who we are is energy and what we experience is our individuation. Grasp this concept and realize this: we are humans having a unique experience.
The cells in our bodies resonate with higher frequencies. They also respond quickly and can restore quickly. The subconscious mind runs silently in the background and its programming influences our thoughts. Our thoughts can lead us on a rampage by this programming. What can we do about this? We must rewrite the software. Many times thoughts keep us stuck and powerless. Such as: I am not enough, the feeling of lack, the feeling of separateness from others, the feeling that I need more and can't get it, the feeling that I don't deserve it, the feeling that others have power over me, unforgiveness, and the most significant negative emotion, fear.
True Remembrance Occurs just Below the Conscious State in the Subconscious.
As Bruce Lipton, PhD, cellular biologist explains: We must update our software. We were programmed the first 7 years of our life with everything we were exposed to in our environment. Conscious thought really doesn't begin until after 7. So our environments play a key factor. But that doesn't mean we can't change. Just as cells in a Petri dish can change when their environment is changed, so can we.
Three tools that will change our subconscious.
1. Rote or repetition
2. Hypnosis
3. Subliminals or Super learning
Our subconscious affects our entire world. It affects our spiritual, mental and physical being.
An Excellent Way to Reprogram the Subconscious
Meditation is a powerful tool because it infuses pure consciousness into our being and affects change to rewrite the negative beliefs in our subconsciousness. There is not one right way to meditate. It is best to experiment and use what works best for you. Your intuition may lead first and experimentation is not necessary. I began meditating in a very stressful period of my life. Binaural meditation worked well for me. Kelly Howell/Brain Sync offers free meditations of this nature and tutorials.
Mantras have also helped me program my subconscious. Here are some mantras I have used over the years. Once they are set or programmed, then they are not necessary. You can move on to other mantras that will aid you.
• Sat, Chit, Ananda. The word “Sat” means being. “Chit” means consciousness. “Ananda” means bliss or rapture. • I am the master of my destiny. • I choose to awaken more. I choose to encourage others in conscious living. Please put in my path teachers, books, ideas, methods to learn and reinforce and the confidence to share. • I am totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others.
The very cool thing is that what we practice becomes easy over time.
The natural state of being is meditative and mantras are wishes that are organic by nature. My mind leads the way with positive affirmations. I don’t have to wear a string around my finger to remember. So the result is improved health, peace of mind. The result is not perfection, but contentment. It’s not settling, it is being. It is a blissful state.

consciouslifenews--2020-06-15--Questions Of Our Time – Time Now To Get Back To Ourselves?

As human beings , we seek the beautiful , and this gives us joy .
But our lives have made everything complicated .
We make ourselves complicated – life is being played around us like a game .
This may not sound comfortable , or even correct , to some people .
If it ’ s a game , then why is there so much sorrow and pain ?
This is the perennial question .
Yet like a game , we have choices , and we make our moves .
And there are players and gameplays going on all around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game is rigged .
One person who knew this well was Alan Watts .
He often spoke about how life should not be lived as a fast journey and that existence in the universe should be recognized as being basically playful .
Life is more like music , Watts used to say .
And we play music – we don ’ t ‘ work ’ music .
And in music , the end of the composition is not the point of the composition ; otherwise , all conductors would play fast ; or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the finales .
We don ’ t go to concerts just to hear the final chord being played .
We don ’ t engage in a dance in order to end it ( unless we got tricked into it ! )
.
And yet , as Alan Watts was so keen on observing , our social systems condition us into grading our lives .
Our schooling compels us into chasing grades and making our quotas and then paying our bills .
And we keep believing , hoping , wishing , for the ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whilst we are rushing through our lives with hardly a notice of what we ’ re leaving behind in our rear-view mirrors .
We end up living to retire .
And when we retire , we imagine we have ‘ finally arrived.
’ And yet to where ?
Do we feel any different ?
We have a small pot of savings and almost no energy .
And then we are told to wait it out .
Until what ?
When ?
The final curtain ?
Perhaps only when it is too late do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole line .
And yet we followed it .
We kept racing along in order to keep up or to hold onto what we were told was a success .
And yet – was it ever ‘ our ’ success ?
Did we miss the whole point ?
Being human is about trying to create meaning for ourselves – and to enjoy it as much as possible along the way .
The life we have is where we have arrived by ourselves and the steps and choices we made .
We should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those choices for us .
And most of all , we should not allow ourselves to be played for victims .
We may be under the sway of other forces , yet only to the point that we are ignorant of them .
Our power comes through recognizing and identifying those other forces that seek to influence and control our thoughts and actions .
We need to optimize our lives by optimizing our perspective and understanding .
Ignorance may seem to be a social requirement yet knowledge , understanding , creativity , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what may appear to the contrary at times , there is an incredible capacity for goodness within the human race .
The majority of people in the world good people .
They wish for peace and not do harm to others .
There are many sympathetic , caring , and courageous people in the world .
Unfortunately , our systems are run by the minority , and these systems are largely corrupt ; and the decent people within these systems become corrupted by association or exposure .
The main issue is that most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minds .
We don ’ t think it is necessary .
We are not aware of the malicious impacts that infiltrate and influence us on an almost daily basis .
This unawareness – or ignorance – leaves people open and vulnerable .
Many people have become alienated from their own minds .
This is where manipulations creep in , such as mob mentality and crowd behavior .
Only a large body of people with ‘ alienated minds ’ can become so influenced by political propaganda , consumerist advertising , and social management .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ collective mindset that has become alienated from a transcendental source .
In this state , we are prisoners to the impulses that steer our unconscious .
We are susceptible to neuroses and psychic illness .
We may believe we have freedom when we do not .
The forces of bondage are subtle and often insidious .
It is a necessity that human civilization returns to the fundamental recognition of the person as a human being .
Being human is about being simple .
Or rather , it is about recognizing the essential things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do .
We are needing to get back to ourselves in so many ways .
To begin with , we must learn not to take things personally .
There are so many ways that life attempts to get us to engage with external strife .
It tries to pull us out of ourselves .
When , for example , we are criticized or insulted we tend to lash out .
We are conditioned to attack in order to defend .
Is not a well-known aphorism , ‘ Attack is the best line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phrased as – the best defense is a good offense .
Yet long before these catchy phrases got circulated through our systems there was a better truism : turn the other cheek .
Retaliation feeds the psychosis within the individual and the collective .
If we give away our emotional and psychic energy , then we also give away our freedom .
The ego must be reined in , yet not abolished .
It is through the form of the ego that we can find the realm of the essential self .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essential inner self is also there .
As a Buddhist monk , Thich Nhat Hanh says – ‘ If love exists , there are other things that exist also .
There is ignorance , there is violence , there is craving.

Here is a story that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had two large pots , each hung on an end of a pole which he carried across his neck .
One of the pots had a crack in it , and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to his house , the cracked pot arrived only half full .
For a full two years this went on daily , with the man delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was proud of its accomplishments , feeling accepted and appreciated .
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection , and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do .
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure , it spoke to the man one day by the stream .
“ I am ashamed of myself , and I want to apologize to you.
” “ Why ?
” asked the man .
“ What are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been able , for these past two years , to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house .
Because of my flaws , you have to do all of this work , and you don ’ t get full value from your efforts , ” the pot said .
The man felt sorry for the old cracked pot , and in his compassion , he said , “ As we return to my house , I want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along the path .
It will make you feel better.
” Indeed , as they went up the hill , the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path , and this made it feel a little happier .
But at the end of the path , it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load , and so again the Pot apologized to the man for its failure .
The man said to the pot , “ Did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on your side of your path , but not on the other pot ’ s side ?
That ’ s because I have always known about your flaw , and I took advantage of it .
I planted flower seeds on your side of the path , and every day while we walk back from the stream , you ’ ve been watering them .
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to take home to my wife .
With you being just the way you are , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me every day.

‘And the Old Ones say: look outward seriously look inward intently look outward carefully look inward diligently look outward respectfully look inward humbly’ Jack Forbes
As human beings, we seek the beautiful, and this gives us joy. But our lives have made everything complicated. We make ourselves complicated – life is being played around us like a game. This may not sound comfortable, or even correct, to some people. If it’s a game, then why is there so much sorrow and pain? This is the perennial question. Yet like a game, we have choices, and we make our moves. And there are players and gameplays going on all around us. And it seems that the game is rigged.

We don’t go to concerts just to hear the final chord being played. We don’t engage in a dance in order to end it (unless we got tricked into it!). And yet, as Alan Watts was so keen on observing, our social systems condition us into grading our lives. Our schooling compels us into chasing grades and making our quotas and then paying our bills. And we keep believing, hoping, wishing, for the ‘great thing’ in life to come whilst we are rushing through our lives with hardly a notice of what we’re leaving behind in our rear-view mirrors. We end up living to retire. And when we retire, we imagine we have ‘finally arrived.’ And yet to where? Do we feel any different? We have a small pot of savings and almost no energy. And then we are told to wait it out. Until what? When? The final curtain? Perhaps only when it is too late do we realize that we were cheated down the whole line. And yet we followed it. We kept racing along in order to keep up or to hold onto what we were told was a success. And yet – was it ever ‘our’ success? Did we miss the whole point?
Being human is about trying to create meaning for ourselves – and to enjoy it as much as possible along the way. The life we have is where we have arrived by ourselves and the steps and choices we made. We should not let ‘another mind’ make those choices for us. And most of all, we should not allow ourselves to be played for victims. We may be under the sway of other forces, yet only to the point that we are ignorant of them. Our power comes through recognizing and identifying those other forces that seek to influence and control our thoughts and actions. We need to optimize our lives by optimizing our perspective and understanding. Ignorance may seem to be a social requirement yet knowledge, understanding, creativity, and wisdom are the truer imperatives. Despite what may appear to the contrary at times, there is an incredible capacity for goodness within the human race.
The majority of people in the world are good people. They wish for peace and not do harm to others. There are many sympathetic, caring, and courageous people in the world. Unfortunately, our systems are run by the minority, and these systems are largely corrupt; and the decent people within these systems become corrupted by association or exposure.

This is where manipulations creep in, such as mob mentality and crowd behavior. Only a large body of people with ‘alienated minds’ can become so influenced by political propaganda, consumerist advertising, and social management. Mass psychosis is only possible through a collective mindset that has become alienated from a transcendental source. In this state, we are prisoners to the impulses that steer our unconscious. We are susceptible to neuroses and psychic illness. We may believe we have freedom when we do not. The forces of bondage are subtle and often insidious. It is a necessity that human civilization returns to the fundamental recognition of the person as a human being.
Being human is about being simple. Or rather, it is about recognizing the essential things. Yet this is no simple thing to do. We are needing to get back to ourselves in so many ways. To begin with, we must learn not to take things personally. There are so many ways that life attempts to get us to engage with external strife. It tries to pull us out of ourselves. When, for example, we are criticized or insulted we tend to lash out. We are conditioned to attack in order to defend. Is not a well-known aphorism, ‘Attack is the best line of defense?’ Sometimes this is phrased as – the best defense is a good offense. Yet long before these catchy phrases got circulated through our systems there was a better truism: turn the other cheek. Retaliation feeds the psychosis within the individual and the collective. If we give away our emotional and psychic energy, then we also give away our freedom. The ego must be reined in, yet not abolished. It is through the form of the ego that we can find the realm of the essential self. The ego exists as a signpost that the essential inner self is also there. As a Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh says – ‘If love exists, there are other things that exist also. There is ignorance, there is violence, there is craving.’ These external ‘other things’ – the violence and the suffering – can be, and are, manipulated and exacerbated. Yet the essential inner self remains as a pure, undiluted, and uncorrupted form. We should allow it to speak to us and manifest in our lives. This is the human question.
Morality and meaning only have significance when they come from a genuine source. Otherwise, it is a ‘projected’ form, created from social mores and cultural biases. We are the ultimate touchstone for our sense of reality. We need to have a clean lens and clear vision. And we should begin from the basics – the simple human things. There is a story that tells of a spiritual seeker who after some time comes upon a spiritual master that she feels is genuine and whom she wishes to learn from. The seeker asks the master if he will accept her as a pupil.
‘Why do you seek a spiritual path?’ asks the teacher. ‘Because I wish to be a generous and virtuous person; I wish to be balanced, mindful, caring, and to be in service for humanity. This is my goal’ said the seeker. ‘Well,’ replied the teacher, ‘these are not goals on the spiritual path; these are the very basics of being human which we need before we even begin to learn.’
What people may consider being ‘spiritual’ is often none other than necessary human nutrition – a daily requirement for living. Yet like our other nutrition, eating, it has to be correctly integrated into our lives without making a song and dance about it. And, of course, not forgetting the saying that goes – ‘If you insist on buying poor food, you must be prepared to dislike it at the serving.’
It often feels like we spend our days trying to grasp at life, trying to understand it, with ways that are not adequate. It is like trying to capture the ocean with a bucket. The ocean stands magnificently before us, and yet our modern societies teach us to run through our lives anxiously as if with empty buckets in our hands. Personal fulfillment is not only about the accomplishment; it is also a question of what we can give through each of our individual imperfections.
Here is a story that helps to illustrate this:
A man had two large pots, each hung on an end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to his house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the man delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, feeling accepted and appreciated. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the man one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.” “Why?” asked the man. “What are you ashamed of?” “I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts,” the pot said. The man felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion, he said, “As we return to my house, I want you to look at the beautiful flowers along the path. It will make you feel better.” Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this made it feel a little happier. But at the end of the path, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again the Pot apologized to the man for its failure. The man said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve been watering them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to take home to my wife. With you being just the way you are, you have given beauty and meaning to me every day.”

As stated by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, around 86% of state government unemployment websites alone fail at least one test for accessibility, mobile friendliness, or page loading speed. To what extent is lack of digital accessibility affecting the disabled, and how can this problem be overcome?
There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Solution
Video conferencing has proven to be a crucial way for companies to meet, strategize, and plan key components of work during the current health crisis. As stated by The Cerebral Palsy Family Network ( CPFN), however, people with different needs require different types of accessible technology to understand others and express themselves. For instance, Zoom calls may be of great utility for those with visual issues, but the same cannot be said for people with sensory issues such as autism or those who have difficulty focusing for a long time – as might be the case for people with cerebral palsy. For the latter, this type of call can be overwhelming, and companies, organizations and learning institutions should be aware of and sensitive to this fact. Those who need to should be encouraged to watch conferences post-event and share comments or ideas post-meeting. Online solutions are also useless for students needing physical copies of exams – such as students who rely on Braille. All colleges should offer tactile options for students who require them.
People With Disabilities Are Less Likely To Use The Internet
A Pew Research survey indicates that people with disabilities are less likely to use the internet. In fact, 23% of those surveyed said that they “never” went online. One reason could be the fact that despite the Americans with Disabilities Act and other relevant legislation and amendments, accessibility remains a significant problem for everything from film streaming platforms to government websites. People with disabilities are also twice as likely to live in poverty and to be unemployed, and online devices can cost hundreds of dollars.
Crucial Aid
Government funding should go into making basic equipment such as computers and tablets available to those living with a disability, especially during times in history such as the pandemic, when online has literally become the only means of communication for so many. In some countries in Europe (e.g. Spain), older high school students and those completing a certificate of higher education have been given a free computer or tablet during the COVID-19 crisis. They have also been given SIM cards for free online access for at least three months.
Online work and education may be necessary for at least a year – or until the pandemic is no longer a global concern. Legal reform to enable greater access to the Internet and relevant devices is key. So, too, is encouraging learning institutions and businesses alike to boost accessibility, with a particularly strong focus on current employees with disabilities. From providing Braille documentation to encouraging post-event viewing of meetings or events, companies can go a long way towards reducing stress for those with disabilities during the pandemic.

Since these search engines refine their algorithms time after time, it pays to be in the know about what works and what doesn’t.
To this end, here are several SEO practices we at BLU Digital Solutions implement to keep our customers on the top of the curve.
Adding main keywords early
Keywords in SEO are crucial. They help the search engine know what your content is about and help to direct search results to the appropriate pages. Although it’s widely known that these keywords should be used a handful of times throughout your content, their locations are also just as important.
Many website owners make the mistake of placing the keywords much later in their texts. While creating content for your website, it’s also important to note that search engines such as Google frown on keyword stuffing. Therefore in as much as your keywords are appropriate, use them naturally and sparingly.
Writing unique content
When it comes to making your ranking better on SERPs, content is one of the most significant factors that can help you. When speaking about content, you should consider your titles, descriptions, and text that goes into a particular page. Since pages are indexed now and then, Google’s algorithms can identify duplicate content from a mile away. It’s essential that every piece of content you publish on your website provides value to your visitors and also be 100% unique.
People who run blogs might have an easier time at this than those who run e-commerce stores since they might have thousands of products. Although it seems easier to get your descriptions from other sites that offer similar products, your rankings will plummet. Furthermore, if it’s identified that this is the norm on your website, you might be entirely blackballed from their result pages. Although it might be a tiresome process, it is very rewarding!
Improve site speed
Website speed is a crucial aspect of proper success in SEO. Since Google doesn’t much publicize their ranking factors, when they emphasize on one, you know it’s a big deal. Today, people’s attention spans are quite limited. They are used to asking for information, and it is delivered immediately, and it’s no different when it comes to page loading speeds.
To better your speed, first, benchmark your current speeds and then start making changes to see which ones cut the load time. Several tools, such as the PageSpeed Insights tool, can help you on this front. To improve your website speed, you can compress your images so that they can maintain quality but reduce the size, use lightweight themes, and make use of lazy loading images where necessary.
Internal linking
Using internal links is crucial for SEO promotions. In a nutshell, this is essentially adding a link from one of the pages on your website to another on the same site. Since most websites are dedicated to a particular niche, linking content should not be that difficult.
However, you should be smart about that. This means using keyword-rich anchor texts, and in most cases, your main keyword should be part of that text. As a general principle, you link the new pages from the old, thereby proving the newer pages with some authority, which boosts its rankings on Google.
Using infographics to your advantage
Infographics have come a long way. They are a useful communication tool that helps break down complex information into clear, understandable terms. According to PhSchool, 65% of the populous are visual learners, and therefore images are better comprehended than text. If you want to present information in a fun, more shareable way, infographics do the trick. Not only do infographics help grow traffic faster by 12%, but they are also more likely to be read by most people.
Capture broken links on Wikipedia
A lot of people rely on Wikipedia to get information. And because of that, it’s a vital tool for getting authority backlinks to your website. The trick here is to scour Wikipedia for dead links and claim them. There are two types of links you can comfortably get from Wikipedia.
A “citation needed” link is one of them. It means that someone mentioned a statistic but didn’t link to the source and a “dead link,” which refers to a previously linked text which isn’t there anymore. A tool like WikiGrabber can help you in this endeavor, which will help you rank better in time.
Conclusion
Although these SEO practices don’t bring about improvement in ranking immediately, their impact is long-lasting and wildly profitable. Since progress is often measurable, these practices won’t let you down. If you are looking to improve your keyword SERP rankings, then we at BLU Digital Solutions can help you get there!
