I actually genuinely like scary movies


So yeah I need to see this master piece ASAP.

But seriously no one ever wants to watch horror movies with me. I've seen a couple of pretty cool ones recently.
If you don't mind subtitles, this is a cool movie with a cool ending and lots of good scares:


This one is cool with lots of familiar faces and yeah, it's creepy/good etc:


Also not really horror but just a cool vampire movie with parts that made me jump, so:

Cosmphobia

The important things I've learned from my Astronomy class that I will now pass on to you, dear reader:
  • "What can science offer instead of the thriller of terror? Counter-intuitive phenomena -Time intertwined with space! (General relativity) -If you know the position of a particle accurately you can not know its speed accurately - Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (Quantum Mechanics) Without these scientific truths your cell phone would NOT work"
  • Massive Stars live fast & Die Young
  • Black Holes are a region of space-time where the gravitation becomes overwhelming and the curvature of space-time is so great that the space "folds" over itself
  • Outside the event horizon of a black hole, it is possible to move forwards and backwards in space but only forwards in time. In the event horizon of a black hole, it is only possible to move forwards in space, but backwards and forwards in time.
  • The Universe is expanding into nothingness
  • This is a picture of a planetary nebula, a stage for a star the size of the sun:
Isn't it pretty?
I'll just leave you with this little mindfuck:
