For over two centuries, we relied on Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation. These were a brilliant set of equations that could predict the motion of planets with stunning accuracy. However, Newton himself was haunted by a massive conceptual hole: The Mechanism. Newton knew what gravity did, but he had no idea how it was communicated across the vacuum of space. To him, it appeared to be an "action at a distance." It looked like an invisible, instantaneous pull that required no physical medium to travel through. Einstein changed the game by replacing the "pull" with "geometry." The realization that gravity is not a force communicated through space, but rather the behavior of space itself, brought a paradigm shift to our understanding of the universe. In this model, mass curves the fabric of spacetime. Objects then simply follow the curves created by that mass.

I love that Trump and JFK Jr. were good friends.

This from Greenpeace co-founder, Dr. Patrick Moore "The idea that wind and solar are going to replace fossil fuels, nuclear or hydro electric is absolutely insane" Listen to his explanation 🔊

This footage gets me every single time.

They don’t just fill a space in your house — they fill a lifetime of memories. Twenty-two years of Denver. He has been the one constant in a world that has changed a thousand times over since... Wish him a happy birthday 🎉🎈🎊

@gpatterson828 ..and character. Personal honor demands even more.

He was 32 years old. He was a husband, a father of two, and about to become a father for the third time. In those final moments, knowing he would never meet his daughter, he could have begged for mercy. Instead, he made a different choice. He organized a resistance, prayed with a stranger… and spoke two words the world would never forget. It was September 11, 2001. United Airlines Flight 93 took off from Newark at 8:42 a.m., bound for San Francisco. There were 44 people on board. Among them was Todd Beamer, traveling for work, planning to surprise his pregnant wife for her birthday. At 9:28, chaos. The hijackers took control. Screams, panic, the plane diverted toward Washington. The pilots were gone. Todd picked up the seat phone. He didn’t call home. He didn’t call a friend. He spoke to an operator, Lisa Jefferson. That call lasted thirteen minutes—thirteen minutes that entered history. With clarity, he described everything: the terrorists, the weapons, the situation. Meanwhile, from other calls, the truth emerged. The Twin Towers had been hit. The Pentagon attacked. This was not an ordinary hijacking. It was a suicide mission. Todd understood immediately. Staying still meant dying— and allowing others to die. He asked for only one thing: if he didn’t make it, someone had to tell his family how much he loved them. He was afraid. But he didn’t stop. Together with other passengers, they looked each other in the eyes. They talked. They weighed everything. They knew they would probably not survive. But they also knew something else: they could stop it. Before taking action, Todd made one last request. He prayed over the phone. At thirty thousand feet, facing the end, he found strength in his faith. Then he returned to the others. “Are you guys ready?” “Okay.” “Let’s roll.” Shouts. Movement. Struggle. At 10:03 a.m., the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. No one survived. But that plane never reached its target. According to investigations, it was headed for the Capitol or the White House. Because of them, that attack never happened. That day, ordinary people did something extraordinary. The 9/11 Commission called it the first true counterattack. Not soldiers. Not movie heroes. Ordinary people who chose not to stand by. Todd’s daughter was born a few months later. She grew up with a powerful truth: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is moving forward despite it. Today, at the crash site, stands the Flight 93 National Memorial. Forty names carved in stone. Forty stories. Forty choices. “Let’s roll” has become much more than a phrase. It has become a symbol. Of responsibility. Of sacrifice. Of choosing to act… when the cost is everything. Todd Beamer boarded that plane expecting an ordinary day. He left it as a man who changed history. And without knowing it, he showed the world what it truly means to be a hero. 💭

There is a priest in the city of Gravatá, Brazil, who takes stray dogs off the street, feeds them, bathes them, and houses them in his rectory. Every Sunday, he brings one to mass and places it by the altar so the congregation can meet it. It started in 2013 when volunteers from a local animal shelter approached him selling cookies to raise funds. It gave him an idea. He began bringing strays into the church himself. Since then, over 200 dogs have found homes directly through his Sunday services. Three of them nobody wanted. He kept those. “They stayed with me. Today, they are my children and sleep in my bed.” When asked why he opens his church to strays, he said: “They will always be able to enter, sleep, eat, drink their water and find shelter and protection, for this house is of God and they are of God.” His name is Father João Paulo Araujo Gomes.

@Eman5695 YAY little guy!!!!

Congratulations 🎊

@shouq_al90149 @Hal1030380 I had a brother call my dog stupid and I read him the riot act. He never did it in front of me again. If he did I am not sure how I would handle verbal insults. But if he, or anyone else, placed an abusive hand on my dog, he would not be invited to my house.

Terk edilmiş, sevgiye muhtaç köpeğin kendisini bebek gibi sevdirdiği anlar.

Please stay at home with me🙏

Nunca llegaré a entender cómo alguien puede maltratar a un ser tan inocente😢♥️

Ne volevano uno. Sono andati in canile e li hanno visti vicini vicini e sembravano stringersi ancora di più quando qualcuno li osservava. Non hanno avuto il coraggio di separarli....guardate come hanno viaggiato fino a casa…🏡♥️🏡

15 years of tail wags, belly rubs, and endless love 🐕❤️. My humans say I’ve been their sunshine every single day 🌞, but... do you think I’m beautiful 🥹💖
