After Seeing This Video, Your Perception of the Universe Will Never Be the Same Again

By
The universe is big. Really big.  A recent movie created by the American Museum of Natural History shows you exactly how unfathomably huge it really is, or at least how unfathomably huge are the parts of it that we know. Surely, there is more beyond. 
The movie, The Known Universe, takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang.

The film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe. Watch Video

"I need somebody to love," sang the Beatles, and they got it right. Love and health are intertwined in surprising ways. Humans are wired for connection, and when we cultivate good relationships, the rewards are immense. But we're not necessarily talking about spine-tingling romance. "There's no evidence that the intense, passionate stage of a new romance is beneficial to health," says Harry Reis, PhD, co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Human Relationships. "People who fall in love say it feels wonderful and agonizing at the same time." All those ups and downs can be a source of stress . It takes a calmer, more stable form of love to yield clear health benefits. "There is very nice evidence that people who participate in satisfying, long-term relationships fare better on a whole variety of health measures," Reis tells WebMD. Most of the research in this area centers on marriage, but Reis believes many of the perks extend ...
