When was the last time you can remember writing down a goal, setting up a path to it’s success, and moving forward in CONSTANT pursuit? How many people actually ignore social media and the lives of others in order to focus on their own life? Unfortunately, in the age of information and social media, we are buried in a world of IRRELEVANT CONTENT.

The clouds grow thicker with the more posts shared online that it is easy to become distracted with someone else’s dream. You can be perceived to be progressing in your life via social media, but the question is, ARE YOU PROGRESSING OR REGRESSING? If I am sitting still, how can I move forward? Progress is simply forward movement toward a goal. The only way to progress is to look inside YOUR mind for what it is you are trying to accomplish. You can’t progress if you continuously make excuses for your delay. Progress is a process that many people don’t have time for these days.

The fact is they do have time, they have plenty of time, they just choose to idolize someone else’s forward progression. I urge people to take a good hard look at what they want to stand for at the end of their journey. Social media and the internet can either be a tool to aid us in our successes, or a diversion to our life’s plan. Without the process of progress we will not accomplish anything. Instead, our minds will be used as a storage bank for the stories of others. Your progress can be simple, but if you are too distracted with the abstract world, the real world will pass you by. THINK ABOUT IT!

Because I am a nerd at heart, I love looking into things that have to do with the construction of our Universe. I yearn to find clues of how we exist and why. Anytime I see something of interest in science regarding our existence and new findings, I am drawn to research about it. This week I came upon a news article stating that European Scientists may have found a signal in space referencing the existence of dark matter. Of course at first I had no idea what Dark Matter was, but as I looked more into the topic, it became absolutely fascinating.

Dark Matter makes up about 85% of our Universe and it is everything we cannot see. So the question is, how do we know it is there if we cannot see it. Scientists judge the mass of dark matter by the gravitational affect it has on matter that we can see in space. Before 1930 the only matter we assumed was part of our Universe was the physical matter that we could detect. Basically, everything from our bodies to the stars. Then scientists named, Jan Oort and Fritz Zwicky came up with new information regarding the orbiting velocities and the amount of missing mass, to prove that Dark Matter exists.

The reason it is called Dark Matter is because we cannot detect it and therefore it is invisible. We know it is there because of the science behind the gravitational effects on visible matter. Scientists know that objects need to have a certain amount of mass to orbit at a certain speed. Yet, all objects in the Universe contain this “Dark Matter” because the amount of mass these galaxies have is significantly less than what they should if they were to rotate at their calculated speed. Therefore, scientists have been able to prove that there is something extra within these galaxies that is holding them in place, but it is invisible.

If scientists are able to uncover the truth behind Dark Matter and what it is made of, they will get closer to the secrets of how our Universe was formed and how it exists.
