Obediencia ciega



Por fin me digné a reservar un tiempo para ver V de Vendetta. Si estoy hablando de ella es porque me encantó todo, ahora, el contenido es realmente algo para rememorar:

"He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent".- V

"It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. ".- Valerie

"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget. ".- Evey Hammond

Estrella vs Agujero negro


Recientemente se ha tenido observaciones de una gigantesca emisión de rayos gamma en una galaxia muy lejos de aquí, según los astrónomos la más grande registrada hasta ahora.  Dicen los estudiosos que proviene de una estrella que se acercó demasiado a un agujero negro, al ser esta una gran estrella con un centro gravitatorio considerable, no se dejó tragar por completo así que luchó contra esta gran fuerza de tracción que hizo que se despedazara.

Y pensar que en algún momento la Tierra tal y como la conocemos no existía, el universo tiene una manera de evolucionar autoconstruyéndose y configurándose a partir de pocos elementos como el hidrógeno. La evolución hace que estos elementos se transformen en ciento y pico de elementos, clasificados hoy en la tabla periódica, ciertas combinaciones de ellos hacen posible lo que vemos a diario.

También me hace pensar que en algún momento puede dejar de existir.

Estas son el tipo de cosas que me dejan estupefacta.
