CHILDREN have a secret spiritual life. " "“Your angels?” I asked. " "“Yeah I see them right now.”" "“You see them?”" "“Yeah, I do see them and it’s like I can feel them and know they’re there. It’s like having a tea party and they’re talking about me. They let me know I’m loved.” https://lnkd.in/dRRQZ2nN View in LinkedIn

The surface of the cactus leaf can bead water with its water-conserving surface in the most impressive manner, reflecting its need to stop water transpiration in dry climates. View in LinkedIn

PROTONS. “The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element, and is referred to as the atomic number (represented by the symbol Z). Since each element has a unique number of protons, each element has its own unique atomic number.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

ETYMOLOGY. “The word proton is Greek for "first", and this name was given to the hydrogen nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in 1920.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

COMPOSITION. “Protons are composite particles composed of three valence quarks: two up quarks of charge +2/3 e and one down quark of charge −1/3 e. The rest masses of quarks contribute only about 1% of a proton's mass.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

THE 99%. “The remainder of a proton's mass is due to quantum chromodynamics binding energy, which includes the kinetic energy of the quarks and the energy of the gluon fields that bind the quarks together.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

“FREE PROTONS occur occasionally on Earth: thunderstorms can produce protons with energies of up to several tens of MeV. At sufficiently low temperatures and kinetic energies, free protons will bind to electrons. However, the character of such bound protons does not change, and they remain protons.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

“A FAST PROTON moving through matter will slow by interactions with electrons and nuclei, until it is captured by the electron cloud of an atom. The result is a protonated atom, which is a chemical compound of hydrogen.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

MULTI-MODAL PERCEPTION. “Start with two seemingly true statements: (i) We have many senses; (ii) They often interact. And that collection has features different in kind from those found in the auditory, vestibular, and nociceptive systems.” https://lnkd.in/dNcsBDuv View in LinkedIn

There is something extraordinary about the simplicity of the traditional Spanish tiled roof which was invented by the Romans and has remained unchanged since. View in LinkedIn
