4.2 Light Years away
Voyager with the speed 60,000 km/hour (17km/s) will take 80000 years to get there

Speed of a bullet : 280 m/s (1000 km/hour, ~speed of jet) will take 40 hours to go around the earth
Sun 109x circumference of earth (half a year to go around the Sun)
AU - Astronomical Unit = 150,000,000 km away from the earth (take 17 years to get to the sun from the earth)

Systemic Thinking About Cancer


Dr. David Agus discusses thinking systemically about cancer and other


From cancering to healthing

Elements and Atoms


How elements relate to atoms. The basics of how protons (define the element), electrons and neutrons


The number of Proton can't change (otherwise, you will have another element) but the number of Electron and Neutron can change in an element
