WE ARE MADE OF STARDUST - IT'S A FACT
It is not a legend, it has been actually demonstrated by
Fred Hoyle, Britain's best known astronomer and physicist (until Stephen
Hawking). A fascinating and controversial personality, Professor Sir
Hoyle pioneered multiple researches and wrote groundbreaking science
papers, causing major disputes in the scientific world with his
revolutionary theories.
The most important was his discovery, together with the American physicist William Fowler, in 1957, of the way that the heavy elements found in the human body - such as Oxygen, Carbon, Iron - were created by nuclear reactions inside the stars which, in a later phase, exploded and from whose relics the solar system was born. He called this process nucleosynthesis. In other words, we are literally made of stardust.
However, this epochal discovery triggered an immense controversy and, ultimately, Fowler, not Hoyle, was the one rewarded with the Nobel Prize.
Hoyle also was the one who coined that the term 'big bang' theory - which describes how the universe was created in a cataclysmic explosion and has been expanding ever since - was flawed. In his opinion, the big bang could not have taken place unless space and time already existed. This led him to propose a 'steady-state' universe in which matter is continually generated by a yet unknown mechanism. In 1994 he wrote, 'Big-Bang cosmology refers to an epoch that cannot be reached by any form of astronomy, and, in more than two decades, it has not produced a single successful prediction'.

HIGH TECH MEDITATION - SCIENCE FICTION or REALITY?
Like fitness is the training for the body, meditation is the training for the brain.
The ultimate goal of meditation is focus and serenity, reaching a higher level of awareness and inner calm. Independent of external events, of place and time, any should be able to meditate and achieve a state of relaxation and tranquility, improve focus and concentration.
Furthermore, there are numerous studies which demonstrate that positive thinking triggers an increasingly secretion of brain hormones that determine peace and calm.
In this high paced era, when stress and informational avalanche govern everyday life, more and more people embrace meditation and spirituality and insert it in their daily routine. Even many well known companies introduced meditation breaks for their employees in special meditation areas ("Quiet Room"). Apple, Nike, Yahoo and HBO are few of the companies to promote meditation in the workplace.
There are multiple meditation techniques and, without guidance, learning to meditate can be, at times, challenging. Many people don't have the motivation to start, others are not sure they are doing it correctly, so... they don't meditate at all.
Now, everyone can start meditating in 3 minutes, gradually increasing the time. The solution is: MUSE - the brain sensing headband!
An outstanding revolutionary brain-mapping device, able to give you real time feedback on what is happening in your brain when you meditate.
Here is how MUSE works:
Through personalized tracking, motivational challenges and rewards, MUSE helps build a regular and efficient meditation practice.
Ariel Garten, a Canadian scientist, is the co-founder of InteraXon, the company which developed the Muse headband. The device practically acts like a meditation coach; it became a real hit since coming to the market; many celebrities decided to give the stress busting headband a try.
"In moments of madness, meditation has helped me find moments of serenity - and I would like to think that it would help provide young people a quiet haven in a not-so-quiet world." Sir Paul McCartney.
Garten says her goal is to help people reach a state of “glorious calm” with Muse. "My own mission is to teach people that that little voice in your head, the one that makes you feel you’re not good enough, that voice that takes us away from the beautiful, peaceful lives we could be living — my mission is to help people learn to dialogue with that voice and quiet it when you don’t need it."

The universal remedy we all have in our kitchen
We generally use it as a rising agent when baking cakes and breads - Baking Soda.
The scientific name is Sodium Bicarbonate and it is known since antiquity. The ancient Egyptians
used Natron (natural mineral salt, consisting of hydrated sodium carbonate) as soap, for cleaning purposes. And yet, surprisingly, only in 1846 Baking Soda was discovered, manufactured and sold as the cooking ingredient we know today. By the third decade of the 20th century, the use of Baking Soda has been extended to deodorizing, drain and silverware cleaning, closet and refrigerator freshening, etc.
A few years later, Baking Soda became the least expansive, most effective and widely used home remedy. The awareness for its medical properties expanded worldwide through the years until today and continuous.
Here are the main health benefits of Baking Soda (Dr. Mercola):
Advisable! It's cheap, it's within reach for everyone, it's beneficial for you and your environment - so, don't just keep it in your cabinet, start using the Baking Soda in your daily life!
