The-poet-soul - Jagda's

When I close my eyes,  the stars stay in the sky and dance with the sun, and I open the window and call your name as if I know it better than my own. When I close my eyes,  the rain waters the dying flower fields, and I wear diamonds around my wrists and no one asks me about the scars I used to paint in  gold.  When I close my eyes,  the city lights turn off so the stars can finally breathe again, and you place flowers in my hair as I touch your face and I stop counting the days. When I close my eyes,  the morning light paints the room like sweet frosting, and I can hear you breathing, calmness stains your lips and your hair kisses the  pillow. When I close my eyes,  the petals of flowers swim around you as if they know you are just as ephemeral as they are, and we never stopped talking and I never locked the windows and I still slept soundlessly with dreams instead of nightmares and the words in our conversations did not become severed like the lifelines I tried to cut off.

When I close my eyes, I see you. (via dollpoetry)

Shakshuka

I’m the kind of person that can eat breakfast at any time of day. It’s something that my mom teases me about pretty frequently. I don’t care if it’s cereal, pancakes or scrambled eggs, I’ll probably eat it for dinner. But my favorite brinner (breakfast and dinner) option off all time is Shakshuka.

Rich, savory and filling, Shakshuka is my go-to option for a healthy breakfast meal. It’s filled to the brim with veggies and killer seasonings, so I never feel bad when I come back for seconds. This version is also vegetarian friendly, so my veg heads celebrate!

Ingredients:

1 Loaf of bread 

6 Eggs

2 Cans of tomato sauce

5 Tomatoes

3 Bell peppers ( Red, yellow or orange)

2 Zucchini

2 Yellow Squash

1 Pkg of Mushrooms

1 Onion

3 Garlic cloves

1/4Tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Salt

2 Tbsp Pepper

2 Tbsp Cumin

1 Tbsp Paprika

Directions:

*Note: I usually chop all of my ingredients beforehand so that I can just drop them all in the skillet at the same time.

Put butter, garlic and onion in pan and saute until fragrant.

Add mushrooms, bell peppers. 

After bell peppers have softened up a bit, add your squash and zucchini

Put a lid on the pan and let the veggies sit for a while until everything has softened

Add tomatoes and tomato sauce

Add all of your spices into the dish, making sure to stir well. 

Put the lid back on the pan, turn the flame on low and wait until the tomatoes reduce into a sauce. 

After the tomatoes have reduced, poach the eggs until your satisfaction.

Serve with fresh bread and enjoy!

Superfluidity consists of an anomalous liquid state of quantum nature which is under a very low temperature behaving as if it had no viscosity and exhibiting an abnormally high heat transfer. This phenomenon was observed for the first time in liquid helium and has applications not only in theories about liquid helium but also in astrophysics and theories of quantum gravitation.

Helium only ends boiling at 2.2 K and is when it becomes helium-II (superfluid helium), getting a thermal conductivity increased by a million times, in addition to becoming a superconductor. Its viscosity tends to zero, hence, if the liquid were placed in a cubic container it would spread all over the surface. Thus, the liquid can flow upwards, up the walls of the container. If the viscosity is zero, the flexibility of the material is non-existent and the propagation of waves on the material occurs under infinite velocity.

Because it is a noble gas, helium exhibits little intermolecular interaction. The interactions that it presents are the interactions of Van der Waals. As the relative intensity of these forces is small, and the mass of the two isotopes of helium is small, the quantum effects, usually disguised under the thermal agitation, begin to appear, leaving the liquid in a state in which the particles behave jointly, under effect of a single wave function. In the two liquids in which cases of superfluidity are known, that is, in isotopes 3 and 4 of helium, the first is composed of fermions whereas the second is composed of bosons. In both cases, the explanation requires the existence of bosons. In the case of helium-3, the fermions group in pairs, similar to what happens in the superconductivity with the Cooper pairs, to form bosons.

Helium’s liquidity at low temperatures allows it to carry out a transformation called Bose–Einstein condensation, in which individual particles overlap until they behave like one big particle.

Superfluid in astrophysics

The idea of superfluids existed within neutron stars was proposed by Russian physicist Arkady Migdal  in 1959. Making an analogy with Cooper pairs that form within superconductors, it is expected that protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a star of neutrons with sufficient high pressure and low temperature behave in a similar way forming pairs of Cooper and generate the phenomena of superfluidity and superconductivity.

The existence of this phenomenon was proven by NASA  in 2011 when analyzing the neutron star left by supernova Cassiopeia A.
