  • This video tours the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant that lies 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. Despite this distance from Earth, the Crab Nebula is a relatively close example of what remains after the explosive death of a massive star.
    NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures in unprecedented detail the various components that comprise the Crab, including the expanding cloud of hot gas, cavernous filaments of dust, and synchrotron emission. The synchrotron emission is the result of the nebula’s pulsar: a rapidly rotating neutron star that is located in the center.
    The wind produced by the pulsar shapes the Crab Nebula’s form and pushes fast-moving particles along the magnetic field, forming thin ribbons that flow throughout the nebula’s interior. Toward the nebula’s edges are cavernous filaments of dust and hot gas-now-fractured material that was and continues to be ejected at high speeds. Zooming out reveals the nebula’s unique structure, including areas where the synchrotron emission seems to be pinched.
    Webb’s sensitivity, along with the rich data collected by other telescopes, is helping astronomers study this complex and changing scene. This information will lead to an improved understanding of the Crab Nebula’s mysterious origins as well as broaden knowledge about the lives and deaths of stars.

    I hope you kids are being taught just how large this thing is. 6,500 light-years away, and it's 11 light-years wide! One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. 👍😎🇦🇺

    IN THE INTEREST OF FINDING THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING:
    SOME THINGS MODERN SCIENCE DOES NOT APPARENTLY KNOW:
    Consider the following:
    a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. (And nobody as of yet has been able to show me how numbers and certain mathematical constants can come from the Standard Model Of Particle Physics).
    b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually warp and expand.
    c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually warp and vary.
    d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. And for those who claim that 'gravity' is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see 'b' and 'c' above.
    e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also warp, expand and vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can warp, expand and vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could warp, expand and vary in actual reality?
    f. Photons: A photon swirls with the 'e' and 'm' energy fields 90 degrees to each other. A photon is also considered massless. What keeps the 'e' and 'm' energy fields together across the vast universe? And why doesn't the momentum of the 'e' and 'm' energy fields as they swirl about not fling them away from the central area of the photon?
    And electricity is electricity and magnetism is magnetism varying possibly only in energy modality, energy density and energy frequency. Why doesn't the 'e' and 'm' of other photons and of matter basically tear apart a photon going across the vast universe?
    Also, 'if' a photon actually red shifts, where does the red shifted energy go and why does the photon red shift? And for those who claim space expanding causes a photon to red shift, see 'b' above.
    Why does radio 'em' (large 'em' waves) have low energy and gamma 'em' (small 'em' waves) have high energy? And for those who say E = hf; see also 'b' and 'c' above. (f = frequency, cycles per second. But modern science claims space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary. If 'space' warps and expands and/or 'time' warps and varies, what does that do to 'E'? And why doesn't 'E' keep space from expanding and time from varying?).
    g. Energy: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. Hence, energy is either truly a finite amount and eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. First Law Of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." How exactly is 'energy' eternally existent?
    h. Existence and Non-Existence side by side throughout all of eternity. How?

      Consider the following:
      a. I am a human as defined by humans.
      b. I am an energy based quarkelectronian as modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy and I am made up of matter and interacting energy.
      c. I am a being of 'light', 'if' my current theory of everything is correct whereby the 'gem' photon is the energy unit of this universe that makes up everything in this universe, including space, time and numbers. (Currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test).
      d. "I" do not even actually exist but eternally existent space time exists as me, currently in the forms as above.
      * I exist and yet "I" simultaneously do not exist, dependent upon perspective. But yet, do "I" not truly exist in absolute truth reality as only eternally existent space time exists as all things in absolute truth reality?
      * "I" can mentally change between perspectives thereby experiencing existence from those various perspectives. "My" mind continues to expand, but is it truly 'my' mind that is expanding or is it eternally existent space time's mind that is expanding? In absolute truth reality, it would seem to be the later.
      * 'To Be or Not To Be'. I am both, 'I Am and I Am Not.' But I Am Not it appears more than I Am.
      * Consider also: If asked the general question, 'What do you know?'. My current answer would be, 'Not much compared to all that can be known.' (I Am Not, More than I Am). It's humbling.
      * Is it truly any wonder that the flow of energy in the universe affects species? We are the universe experiencing itself.
      * Question: If 'I' never actually existed in the first place, how could 'I' ever die?
      * Added Note: Now, 'assuming' the above is correct, that 'I' do not even actually exist but that eternally existent energy exists as 'me', and that 'my' consciousness, memories and thoughts are actually the universe acting through the form of 'me':
      a. I have yet to acquire any 'new' knowledge via this supposed connection that cannot be explained by 'normal' means. (In other words, besides things I learned or intuited). Even my theory of everything and other ideas are due to study and critical thinking. Nor can I magically fluently speak a language that I have not already learned. (In other words, no magical connection with the 'universal consciousness' at this time can be noted).
      b. I have yet to be able to manipulate reality with my mind alone, my physical body is necessary to manipulate reality.
      c. While I can imagine being elsewhere in this universe, it does not appear that I can actually take just my mind actually there. (My mind is where my body is).
      d. Doesn't mean I will stop trying, just have not noticed the above as occurring as of yet.

      THE UNIVERSAL SHELL:
      Existence and non-existence, side by side for all of eternity:
      "IF" my Theory Of Everything is really true, (that what is called 'gravity' is a modality that is a part of the currently recognized 'em' photon, 'gravity' acting 90 degrees to the 'em' modalities, which of course act 90 degrees to each other, 'gravity' actually causing the sine wave pattern of 'em'), AND "IF" my view of space and time are correct, ('space' being energy itself [which is the 'gem' photon], 'time' being the flow of energy), then I could see where it might be possible that the inner spherical shell of the universe could possibly be made up of the 'gravity' modality of the 'gem' photon which is 90 degrees to the electrical modality of the 'gem' photon, which are both 90 degrees to the magnetic modality of the 'gem' photon, the magnetic modality existing both inside of and outside of the inner shell, the complete 'gem' photon interactions making up the entire spherical shell of all of existence itself. And then of course, non-existence would exist beyond existence. So, existence and non-existence might possibly exist side by side for all of eternity. It all depends upon whether the gravity test for my TOE is really true or not and whether my view of space time is correct or not, and whether the universal spherical shell exists as I believe it might or not.
      But 'if' true, and as no photons (currently 'em', 'gem' in my view) would be absorbed nor reflected by the spherical universal shell, then when we look at the blackness in the night sky that is beyond the light of the stars and galaxies, we might actually be perceiving in part the limits of existence and the universal shell of existence itself, with non-existence beyond.
      I am inside of a vast eternally existent universe, filled with everything in existence, and yet, somehow, I feel so alone. An existent universe unto itself alone with nothingness beyond.
