Meet The Black Hole
The universe appears as a vast expanse, resembling an empty ocean with occasional islands in the form of galaxies. However, this is merely an illusion. Galaxies contain only a small fraction of all atoms, while the majority is believed to drift in the intergalactic medium, the space between galaxies. Gas extends from each galaxy, resembling the roots of a massive tree, with gravity guiding fresh mass into this dense cosmic forest. Within the intergalactic medium, the building blocks of creation are present: hydrogen and helium, interwoven into sheets and filaments that flow into galaxies, eventually giving rise to stars.

Let me tell you about the hardest language in the world
Take a moment to survey the room you're currently in. Now, imagine filling it from top to bottom with trillions of grains of sand, billions of grains of rice, hundreds of thousands of grapes, several thousand apples, and a dozen watermelons. This is a representation of what the inside of your cells looks like in terms of numbers. Inside your cells, water molecules dominate, giving them a soft jelly-like consistency that allows for easy movement of other components. Alongside water, the rice and fruit in our analogy represent proteins, which are abundant in cells, numbering in the billions and encompassing over ten thousand different types depending on the cell's function. In essence, your cells can be thought of as protein robots, as is the case for all forms of life.

Transform your life gradually
If you're like most people, there's often a gap between the person you currently are and the person you aspire to be. You have a list of things, both small and big, that you believe you should do or want to achieve. It could be exercising regularly, eating healthier, learning a new language, working on your novel, reading more, or simply dedicating more time to your hobbies instead of mindlessly browsing the internet.

Why eating meat is a dilema
The love for meat among humans is undeniable. From mouthwatering steaks to crispy fried chicken, savory bacon, succulent pork belly, and flavorful sausages, these delicacies reign supreme. It's fascinating how meat has become an integral part of our meals, with many considering a dish incomplete without an animal-based component. However, it's worth noting that not too long ago, meat was a luxury item. Today, it's become so commonplace that you can grab a cheeseburger for a dollar. Paradoxically, though, meat consumption is one of the most inefficient ways of feeding our growing population, and it's taking a toll on our planet.
