When SPACIUM says “SPACE” what do you visualize?

Well, not just you, everyone visualizes that they are in the movie Interstellar or imagine yourself having that time on the Martian land. Haha, got you!!

Now, when that small scientist inside you raises a question, ”Hey dude, How to actually visualize space?”.

Open a web page , type space in the search bar, and then open images.
It’s likely that you may make out in the photographs what might seem to be something of a humanoid figure’s head and shoulders. You can’t really make out, but the images are vaguely mysterious, and sometimes a bit scary.

But a more rational response to this would be that it tempts you to reach your mouse and move it to the next web page to research this scientific thing.

There might be a little mental war between two different parts of your brain that has taken place in that one second. The right hemisphere of your brain takes pleasure in observing objects and thinking about the patterns it discovers. Unfortunately, it is mute because the language centers of the brain are located in the left cerebral hemisphere, which is also the location of logical reasoning principles and other “scientific” thinking methods.

Your left hemisphere is speaking to you at this very moment. When ambiguous patterns are shown to it, it becomes highly agitated since, unlike the right hemisphere, it is unable to comprehend them and assign them a specific feeling.

Thus, it persuades you to give up on this challenge. And then, for a second again, if you surrender your brain, then you might be thinking about space in a very radical notion, that can sometimes resemble the way big scientists thought of, and now you are in the midst of the chaos of the whole cosmos.

Space is something that starts beyond our visualization. It evolves and evokes something completely different. It is something that people will endure in that childhood but outgrow as adults. But can be an asset to those who hang up on the essence of “Thinking out of the box”.

As we become older, we start to lose all hope in events that are meaningless, like another eclipse, meteor shower, or sunset. We tend to become less interested in new experiences and more comfortable with the things we are acquainted with.

Discovering the mysteries of space and the patterns concealed in the wilder parts of the natural world , press the play button and boom relaunch the rocket in the world of space.

Expand your visual library, engage in looking at the photos of space phenomena, different nebulae, constellations and learn to expand your knowledge.

These visual parallels may be discovered in a wide variety of typical forms and patterns, some of which are observed in peculiar and moving situations.

Here are some striking pictures that seem to illustrate how space may be assembled, courtesy of atoms in a tungsten needle tip, dew on a spider web, artists Miro and Mondrian, and diatoms.

Space is far from being “nothing” or just a void into which matter is tossed around.

Our cosmos and our fate are shaped by a landscape of unseen patterns and activities.

Reading words and adhering to a logical exposition of “ifs and what ifs” will not be enough to comprehend it or convey the sense of wonder and mystery surrounding its existence.

You must also use your imagination and vivid imagery to feel it. If we want to comprehend space on a human level, we must use a different approach since it is such a distinct medium from anything we have ever had to deal with intellectually.

We shall be reunited with that feeling of wonder every time we gaze into the night once we have completed this.

And to know space in a different innovative way and a scientifically curious approach, stay tuned on SPACIUM.
