Ubloo, The Reason Why I Try Not To Sleep Ubloo, Part One Note:This is part one of a four-part story. The next three parts will be posted over the next three days. Enjoy! In a past life I was a psychiatrist. Well, let me rephrase that. Before my life fell to pieces I was a psychiatrist, and a damned good one too. It’s tough to really say what makes a psychiatrist “good” at what they do, but I started in my field early, got great experience my first few years in the business and not before long I almost had more clients than I could handle. I’m not saying someone would walk into my office suicidal and do a complete 180 in one day, but my clients trusted me and felt that I genuinely helped them, so I came very highly recommended, and my rate was admittedly steep. That being said, I was used to a “higher tier” of patient. I’m not sure how the Jennings family found me but I assume they were pointed in my direction from their previous psychiatrist, as that’s sometimes the...
• ~24.5 min Trubel had been lingering outside the nondescript metal door for nearly two hours, appearing to study the door and the faded sign above it. The Deli , it read in dusty script. Her coat was wrapped as tightly around her as the fraying fabric allowed, but still, the cold air dug through it. The cold was not enough, however, to drive her out of the elements and through the door. Once or twice she approached it, hand shaking as it neared the handle, only to draw back at the last second as if the handle were a snake. It should have been easier to enter the door the longer she waited, but it seemed to only grow immeasurably more difficult. It did not help that in her entire time waiting no one had entered or left the building. Had someone sallied up, opened the door, and safely entered into a cloud of inviting warmth, it may have lured her in. Similarly, the safe exit of any sort of person would have assured her that one could brave whatever lay beyond. But the road was emp...
BLACK holes merging together into one produce powerful ripples through the fabric of time and space, known as gravitational waves, which Albert Einstein incredibly predicted more than 100 years ago. Black holes remain one of the biggest mysteries of the cosmos even 103 years after physicist Karl Schwarzschild first predicted their existence. Black holes cannot be seen or measured in conventional methods, and until recent developments, remained a hypothetical scenario. In 2015, scientists detected the side effect of two black holes merging together, which seemingly proved right one of the brightest minds of the 20th century – Albert Einstein. Black holes locked into an orbit around one another – binary black holes – will eventually fall towards each other and merge. The tremendous force of impact radiates so-called gravitational waves, which according to the European Space Agency (ESA) are “fluctuations in the fabric of spacetime”. Both black holes and gravitational waves wer...
