The Sun's Nuclear Fusion Explained

Our Sun is an active giant gaseous star that produce energy enough to power up everything on earth. The source of this energy is one type Nuclear Reaction, the Nuclear Fusion.

I can go on and explain what happens on the Sun and how Nuclear Fusion scientifically works but it will be boring. So I decided to put a comic that explains it all .

Four reasons that gets us upset (@alialmahdi)

With or without our intentions we get upset and most of the time we dont know why.
Ali Compiles four factors that causes the frustration. Worth 5 minutes of your time.

Imagination Pooling

We imagine several sorts of things all the time. Some of you decide to share it to their close friends. Others keep it to themselves scared people will steal and publish their ideas as their own. However, very rare decide to publicly share their imaginations. I'm here to talk about this last segment.

Here is the fun part. Each one of us was born with limited unique set of imagination span. The more we learn new things the more our imagination span increases. Until it reaches a level where you think you know everything and here is where you stop learning. Your imagination freezes at its size. You refuse to read books that don't interest you or watch movies that do not fit your standards or listen to other type of music or play video games that are not your style. Here is when the imagination gives you the delusion that you know "enough" and you don't need to know about other aspects in life, you may even call them stupid, or silly stuff. This will eventually kill potential creativity.

Let's go back to point one. We were born with unique imaginations. We compile our imagination into stories and we pour these stories into a medium. This medium can be a book or a movie or a play or a picture or even a video game. When you watch this movie or listen to this song or see this picture you acquire more imagination automatically. Even though you might think the movie is silly or that song is stupid.

When we watch movies we tap into other people imagination pool and build on it creating further imaginations. I refer to this as imagination pooling.

The point I want to make in this post is that pooling the imagination can broaden your thoughts spectrum thus generating even rich ideas. You cannot do this if you stick to talking to your close friends or listening to stuff you already know about or reading books on which you know the title or watch movies that you only like. That was me 2 years ago, until I met my wife my whole thoughts and imaginations changed. I feel myself as if my imagination experienced totally different dimension and I keep coming with even more ideas every day. She is in the fashion industry while I'm in the IT field. Totally different yet my imagination was doubled since the day i met her.

Never under-estimate the power of learning and never think your knowledge is above all. Learn to share and acquire new things.

Happy New Year?

We have been designed in a way to measure and calculate everything around us. We label everything with age or size or experience or strength so we can compare them. Thus was the need to create a system for measuring time. The current universal calender being used on Earth is the Gregorian calendar or the Christian calendar.

This calender started when Jesus Christ was born 2012 years ago. Since then, we set date for everything. Inventors set dates to launch their inventions, businessmen set dates to end their projects, Human Resources pay the workers by the hour, politicians set dates to start and end wars, people have been executed in certain dates, others have been honored in different dates And we celebrated New Year Eve every single year, since then.

We need time, without time we can't keep track of the progress. Here is the bizarre* idea: Although we created this time scheme from scratch, which has nothing to do with God, we still keep labeling years as "Bad" Or "Good".  If you thought about it there is no such thing as bad or a good year, it is a year, it is just a time span that we created. Yet we wait 12 months to wish each other a "Happy New Year", why don't we wish each other a happy life time? Why wait 12 months to do so. Why don't I be happy this month? or Why don't you say Happy New Month?

And even if somehow people will argue that 2011 was in fact a bad year at least for us in Bahrain. If there was some power affecting how a year "runs", than this power is within us. To prove it, look at this thought experience I created, I called it the Car Keys Anomaly.

If this power, some call it faith, was external, then it doesn't know what is 2011 or 2012 2075 or January or December means, it has its own time scheme, and if it is to be applied it will be applied and projected on that time scheme not our calender. It could be on 17 August or 31 of May!

My point, if you want to do something, go do it now, don't wait until you write your next year's resolutions. You can do whatever you want whenever you want wherever you want. We have put this calender just for organizing your life, you may remove it and start now. This system is good but you don't have to stick to it. You can just start your success anytime.


Happy New Year!

Math and Love

Someone spend time creating these heart functions.

Heart Functions

Research: Determining your future spouse, with Math

Crazy as it seems, I like to elevate our thoughts to a different level.

Ready for this? We are Numbers, each one of us is a unique number. Or at least this is what I think. Notice I didn't say each one of us "has" a number, instead I said "is" a number, there is a difference. If we are to include living entities then these too are numbers.

You can calculate your unique number using many methods no matter what you use, it will always come be a formula of a single unique number. Just make sure your method really produces a unique Number, for example Names and passport numbers are not unique through out the world. There is a possibility of duplication.

Some of you say, so what? I am a Number big deal. I'm still going to work tomorrow morning, and working out in the gym in the afternoon and eating dinner at home at night. Why? What's so special if you can find a unique number?

The universe keeps track of your actions, relationships and life using an "ID” is it your name? I don’t think, is it your passport number? Again, no. It will all make sense, if mathematics is one way to describe the universe and if we are numbers (as I claim) then our relations together as per the mathematical model is called a function.


Let me give you an example, for instance if my number is X, and my Father number is Y. Then Y is the Father of X or we can put it like this.


Father(X) = Y


Now what is the function Father(X) is something we can find out if we take more and more data (that is more Fathers and Children and fed them into a fourier series. We might find that for instance


Father(X) = Y

Father(X) = Sin (X) + 1 (for example)


This function will return only one result which is correct as each person can have only one father, and it will give the same result all the time if Y is the Father of X. that is if Sin(X)+1 is equal to Y

Suppose I take the case of Brother function, the function might be a polynomial which can have more than 1 solution, that means more than 1 brother. So If we can find your number, and this formula I can know all your brothers and Sister Numbers. Depends on what basis you used to calculate your Numbers, reverse that formula (if it was reversible) and find out more information about them. Or even plug them into different functions and find it who each one will end up marrying.


There are still of other areas we didn't disclose here but I'll leave a space for the thoughts.

However, as Decards says in his dualism theory, we are machines running in a predicable mechanical universe, yet there is another part of us which is spiritual cannot be easily described by mathematics. I stop here.

Lucky Bone

All cultures have a version of the "Lucky Bone". Some are in form of a bone, some in form of blessed Water others are in a form of blessed piece of clothing.

But all somehow seem to do their job in their respective culture. Provide luck.

Some quoted stories:

"This time, I wore my lucky bone necklace in my presentation for the third time and I got promoted."

"This Water has received a special blessing from a monk. Whenever I drink from it I feel my day change."

"Keeping this piece of clothing with make that headache goes away."

And on the contrary,

"Shoot! I forgot to wear my lucky bone, I'm gonna fail the Math test today."

It all comes from within but we do not realize it. We create the good and bad events from our subconscious mind.

It's a matter of believe, and the object we hold just act like a catalyst, a medium through which our thoughts are converted to truth.

That's why the lucky bone might work with someone who believes in it but it won't work with me for instance if I truly didn't believe in it.

Welcome to the Era of Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Entanglement: Paul the Octopus explained

If you didn't heard of Paul the Octopus, it’s a Psychic octopus that Germany used for predictions to its World cup games.

So far Paul did a 100% prediction in 6 games.

Here is its prediction for Germany VS Spain in the semi final.

So how did this work?

Paul's first predictions (Ger vs Eng) (Ger vs Ser) and (Ger vs Arg) might have been a mere chance, but not the last one (Ger vs Esp). Quantum Mechanics took care of this one.

After the win of Germany against Argentina 4:0, Paul the Octopus received a huge media boost, through social networks (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) not to mention the classical Newspapers, and TV.

This media explosion amplified Paul Quantum wave function (the frequency on which the Octopus works) most people now believe in Paul, some for the mere love of their teams, and some even for religious reasons.

All these people sending their approved thoughts and true believe to this creature makes this wave function amplifies exponentially. These thoughts become so sharp, so clear, so thin that increases what physicists called the Energy Density and make those thoughts move to a part of the brain called the Frontal Lobe. At this time, those thoughts, those ideas, those concepts materialize into tangible events. These events cause the predicted team for example to play harder, the other team get tensed, distracted thus make more fouls the other team get more free kicks, and so many random events may occur to support the predicted team. Events that are unleashed from the shared Super String.

Now, some of you will say well, not all people believe in this octopus and I totally agree. Some don't believe and they deny it but deep inside they have this fear of his predictions becoming true. This fear is enough to materilize into a potentional amplifer for Paul Wave function. Some people won't believe Paul at all, but they are few compared to the masses. Which make their wave function nearly neglectable.

This is the new science of Quantum Entanglement, Everything is connected.

Earth your Brain

I previously talked about the various methods on how to Earth your Pain. Earthing the Brain, however, is a totally different experience.

Earthing the Brain is the process of cleaning your brain from past knowledge and experiences and thoughts that you have acquired and instead open your mind to unlimited possibilities without projecting actions on these past experiences.

This is not easy to accomplish. Our experiences basically defines who we are and its difficult to let go of what we are. However, looking at the world with an "Earthed" brain open our eyes to totally new experiences. An Earthed brain can listen more and see more.

You can say an Earthed brain is an application of Zen brain, an empty brain that can accept new knowledge, new experiences. Just like a brain of a kid that never fears to try new things.

An Earthed brain can make us see clearly potential Black Swans and sorta "predict" the unpredictable.

The most important thing, it makes us realize how little we know about the World, thus it teaches us how to listen and learn the most from our surroundings. Basically it makes us climb the mountain of Knowledge higher, except that the 'Ego' dog will cease to follow us up to the mountain.

A Single Random Number holds so much Information

If I told you to think of a number from 1 to 100
the result will be different every time I ask you


Lots of factors affect this number. There are the external factors like the weather (cold, hot, windy, humid) or the internal factors like your mood (sad, happy) , status (married, single), health (fatigue, healthy) etc..

All those factors get fed into the function of your random generator and generate a number that is dependent on these factor.

Imagine if we can hypothetically gathered 100 serial killers and ask them to choose a number between 1 to 100, while we try to fix the other external factors as much as we can. Then chart the results. We do the same with 100 child abusers, 100 nurses. Compare the results

We will get interesting results, we will get pattern.

So whatever random number you select. This number hold information, very valuable information. its not so random after all.

Think of that.

You and I are One

"If you imagine a million dollar in your head, you will work harder and you will make it"

"If you continue thinking that you will be poor your entire life, you will work less and you will not get any money soon"

"If someone's sad sat in a chair and then you come and set in the same chair you're mood will change based on his because the energy transfers those negative signals to you"



I summarize those from books. Books like The Secret, Law of Attraction, Ask and its Given, Money and the Law of Attraction, Law of Connection those books sell because they answer questions. Questions that sat for long time unanswered.

Those books are temporary fillers for gaps about yet unexplained phenomena of a much stronger concept. Those books projects extraordinary acts, that can only be explained by superstitions, into some negative/positive energy concept that leads to particular act of human in a very sexy way manipulating human emotions with explainable yet convincing idea.

That's why they sell.

Quantum physics on the other hand, dictates that everything is governed by set of law of classical physics (Newton laws), but when you go to a small scale, in the level of the atom, different set of laws take over. Those are the quantum laws.

The Quantum laws suggest that we are all one, we are all vibrations of one source called the Super string field or the universal field. We are nothing but frequencies that wave from that.

So what I do, affect the world, what you do affects me, when I'm happy I can make you happy. When I think I affect the world, what I think here in Bahrain affects the mum who sets in her apartment way there in South America.

The question is how? All one day will come into a simple mathematical model that we are can understand.

We are nothing but Waves of Vibrations

Who are you?

Are you the person who I met when he was angry and stressed from work? Or are you the sweet person I met when he just received his yearly Bonus?

Are you the person who yelled at his mother once in his life? Or are you the person who helped that old man 15 years ago?

Its difficult to stay one person everyday.

We are nothing but waves of vibrations with varying frequency.

Hussein yesterday with a frequency (X Mhz), can make a decision, wake up in the morning by a building constructions noise which raises his frequency to (10X Mhz) forming a completely another Hussein, and regrets yesterdays decision.

We are a collection of frequencies like radio channels. We switch from a frequnecy to another based on totally natural random events that hit us. For example, I can think of an idea NOW at time (t1) and later at time (t2) describe it as a silly one.


There is one original frequency that is patently yours ..

The challenge is to find it. Embrace it and yes STICK to it.

The Car Keys Anomaly

When you open your car with its keys, you're brain is wired 100% that the car will always open. Because you believe it will open no matter what. In fact there is no room for thinking of a slight chance that it won't open.

Now somebody asked me.

What IF I replace your car keys with ones that look just like yours without telling you. You will still be 100% convinced that the car will open with those keys but it won't.

This is interesting claim to make. However, in this case whoever replaced my car keys, his thought wave function is much more stronger than mine. Now HE is 100% sure that my car will not be opened with the keys I have and his conciseness travel in time at the incident event and affect the reality of me being unable to open the car.

The Reason is that we are all entangled and we affect each other thinkings.

Now, suppose for example, if we can assume that a computer did the replacement of the keys (randomly) without you or me having any knowledge what keys the computer will replace, is it the right or wrong. In other words your consciousness and thinking doesn't play any rule in this process. I will always open the car no matter what keys the computer selects. Because I am 100% sure that my keys haven't change and I am unaware of this computer replacement process.

There is an exception as well to this paradagm. If you are "Watching" the computer replacing the keys, or thinking that "ok, the computer will pick the wrong keys.." this also affects the result, or say you have a desire that the computer to replace my keys with wrong keys. In this case its up to the uncertainty prenciple. You may say its a battle between my conciouness and yours. Most probably I will win.

So for this thought expirment to be true, you shouldn't be able to play any rule in it by any means. That means, you should place that machine in a closed room and let it do the keys replacement.

OK, Someone somewhere must have picked keys so similar to his keys but are not his, he was 100% convinced they were his keys, no one has interfered in him picking the wrong keys, yet I'm willing to wager they were unable to open his car.

Great

The car keys will not open in two cases:

1. If our guy discovered that those keys aren't his before he actually opens the car. The keys won't open.

2. If our guy (or anyone else) WILL discover sometime in the future, say after one month or two months or two years that the keys aren't his. The car will not open NOW. This is an example of how the future can affect the past. (I will elaborate on this more)

The car keys will ALWAYS open in one case.

1. If our guy didn't discover that the keys are not his, or he (or anyone else) WILL NEVER discover in the future that the keys are not his. The car will always open. Thats because there is a full synchronization between the future, the past and the present (The now).

This is a simple example of how the future can affect the present. In the Quantum world, we are entangled with our future self and our past self. So anything you do now affects the future and anything you might be doing in the future will affect the present.

I would love to fail

The last thing we want to do is to fail. I don't get on the stage and present because I might screw up and the audience will laugh. I don't write a book because some of my friends who think I'm still young will make fun of me if my book sold zero copies. I don't dance because I might make a fool of myself.

We fear failure because its embarrassing. So we have built this behavior that failing or being wrong is the worst thing we can do.

We live in the world of TV and movies where heroes don't make mistakes and do things perfectly. A simple equation that always apply, if you fail, you suck. No room for mistakes, quitters are losers, winners never quit.

Good judgment comes from Experience, unfortunately, Experience comes from bad judgment and failure. - Jim Horning

So we have only one source to good judgment and its experience. And Experience comes from failure the very thing that we afraid of.

Let us all pull our strength from this little girl
The Little Girl Story
There was a school girl who don't pay attention to classes. One day in the drawing class, the teacher noticed that she is really focusing on her drawings The teacher approached her and asked her.

Teacher: "What are you drawing?"
Girl: "I'm drawing a picture of GOD"
Teacher, amazed: "Okay, but, no one knows what GOD looks like."
Girl: "They will in a minute."

The girl didn't put any restrictions, its in her nature, she just want to try everything. She didn't care about failing. I previously wrote an article about thinking like kids. Here it is if you are interested more in this subject. Maybe they can teach us a lesson.

Karma in Computer Science and the Story of Abbas

For those who don't know what Karma is, here it is in my own words.

In religion if you did something bad, something bad will happen to you. If you did something good something good will happen to you based on your actions. In Islam we call this العدالة الإلهية or the Ultimate justice, In Buddhism its called Karama.

Scientifically, If you do something good or you did something bad there is an amount of energy that you release whether positive or negative, this amount of energy someday will come back to you (the source) .

The Unfortunate Driver
Let me tell you a story about how Karma does its magic.

One day an employee was late for work in the morning, so he drove fast and start overtaking a car in front of him. The other driver was angry, and he also started to overtake the next car, the next driver seeing this overtake the next car.. and so on.

In the end of the day our employee leaves his work. On his way to the parking he was hit by an overtaking car, a car from the same series he created earlier this day.

Karma will find you.

Abbas and the Process.Kill()
OK. Now can this apply this to computer science. Let me tell you a story that will explain the whole thing.

Once upon a time there was a developer lets call him Abbas. Abbas was a brilliant developer, he does his tasks quickly and he rarely says I don't know. One day Abbas encountered a weird error upon closing one of the application. He didn't know the source of the error and after half an hour of searching he gave up and decided to apply a quick fix by simply kill the process on the exit this way .NET garbege collector won't have the time to show this error. It WORKED.

The clients were SO happy the damned error upon closing the application disappeared. The application has been submitted, and the maintenance period finished.

One day one of the clients reported that no matter what edits and changes he apply to the application, they are not saved. So the client IT team started to do their research and stumbled upon a piece of code that kills the application process clearly marked with a comment -Abbas and dated. It appears that killing the process prevented the application from running the On_Close event on which the saving of the data is being done.

Karma found Abbas.

L-Directed Vs R-Directed Thinking

Perhaps you got tired of hearing all the fuss about the Left Brain and Right Brain Thinking. But If you know that those very two hemispheres are the origins of almost everything in this world you will appreciate study them more.

L-Directed Thinking is the process that is done by the left hemisphere of the brain. Here goes the analysis, sequenced logic, 1+1=2 like of logic, computation of complex formulas etc. Basically computers are great at stuff like this.

For example playing chess is an L-Directed thinking approach, You can NEVER beat a computer at Chess, because basically your Left Brain is not as fast as a computer, in performing sequenced steps. The computer will basically calculate ALL your possible moves and encounter it easily.

Garry Kasparov the Chess Champion beat the first computer at Chess, and the second one, but he couldn't beat the third.



Now, If you bring a violent picture and you feed it to a Cloud of computers in order to detect the type of this picture; A 6 years old kid can instantly know that this picture is violent in less than a second where the Cloud can report it after days and most of the time the result is wrong.

This is the power of the R-Directed Thinking which cannot be replicated by a computer yet. So the Right Brain is responsible for emotions, parallel, pattern detection. Whereas you can replace a human left Brain with a Machine.

When you look at someones face, you don't see her nose first, then her eyes, then her lips. You see her face as a whole, in parrallel. Thats the power of the R-Directed thinking.

Imagine your wife is cooking dinner. She asked you to bring some stuff from the store. You forget an important stuff. The wife looks at you and say, "I'm going to the store". Now your left brain will know that this woman in front of you aka your wife, is going to the store. But your right brain will detect that she is angry because you didn't bring the missing ingredient. No Computer can do that.



In another post I will explain the power of the R-Directed thinking and why the R-Directed thinkers will lead the world as Dan Pink explains in his book a Whole new Mind. This post is an inspiration by his book.

Quantum Consciousness - Fear

I've been digging into Quantum Mechanics the last couple of months and really dove into the conscious part of this science.

Imagine yourself at a deserted cemetery 200 miles from the nearest city. No lights, midnight, no sound, just the sound of your foot stepping on the sand and dry leaves as you walk between the graves.

Now the last thing you think of at this moment is picking the Laundry or preparing for work tomorrow, or the virus at your machine or the chapter you skipped from the last book you read. You will keep thinking that some ghost will come and squeeze your soul out of the tip of your toe while screaming very load. Or perhaps an ugly old grandy coming out of one of the graves and running very fast with her back bend towards you to eat your pretty head.

Those thoughts become so sharp, so clear, so thin that increases what physicists called the Energy Density and make those thoughts move to a part of your brain called the Frontal Lobe. At this time, those thoughts, those ideas, those concepts become real.

So you might really see something really weird coming to you because you believed that it will come to you.

Should you achieve this in a fear mode, you can do the same in the normal mode. Say like, you can create a 20 BD in your hand if you believed in it enough. That's how prayers work too to a certain extent. Its about what you believe in.

EDIT: That is turned into a movie. The Apparition [2012]

If Newton is still alive

The power is equal to the force times the distance divided by the time.

Double Slit Experiment

If you are familiar with Quantum physics you may already know this great experiment. This is a small comic strip I created using StripGenerator.

You can watch the experiment video here in details.

Are Ghosts Dimensional?

In his post Lets talk Dimensions Elie Nasr pinpointed a really interesting concept of what dimensions really are.




Objects living in 2D don't know about the 3D
I stumbled upon a great video that explains the world in 2D and how impossible the objects living in it find a 3rd dimension. To 2D world they only know left, right, up and down. There is no above or beneath, its physically impossible as Elie stated.

We live in 3D we don't know about objects living beyond that
3 Dimensional world is what we know, we don't know and we find it difficult to feel anything that is not in 3D. Just like 2D, just because we can't feel anything non-3D doesn't mean there are not other objects living in other dimensions.

The Time Dimension (4D)
We all know the Time as the Fourth dimension we can't imagine it yet we live in it. We see how a a 3D object changes with Time, I'm a 3D object, I get old? I get tall my 3 Dimensions are a function of time. Without Time I will stay still.

However, the Time itself can be applied to a 2D object or to a 1D object too, correct? So Time is a fixed dimension.

Who lives in the 5D then?
So the real question is, are there any living creatures who can see us but we can't? Do they live in another dimension that we can't really see yet we live it?

Ghosts Do Enter our 3D Sometimes
If you watched the video I linked earlier in this post, you will see how Dr Quantum entered messed with the circle in the 2D. Ghosts do the same. Some ghosts play around with us and enter our dimension to mess with us. Some for curiosity, some for good, some for evil.

So many questions, I'll just leave you to think about it freely.

Welcome to the Quantum world.
