Shadow’s Veil – Part 5
The world lurched. Vaelin felt weightless, suspended in the rift between realms. Shadows curled around him like living tendrils, whispering in a language he didn’t understand, their voices slipping beneath his skin like threads of ice. Then—light. Blinding, searing, overwhelming.

Unraveling Worlds. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
It's still a struggle for me when I think about how significantly everything changed and the reasons it all happened. For the longest time I spent every day imagining the 'good ol' days' where things were “normal” and life was... “good”. I never realized how conditioned I was, how conditioned everyone was, to the so-called “normal” days of life. When 'The OB's' came, it was a nightmare for the world. The delicate balance of life was shattered and the beliefs of many were completely destroyed. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and for a long time I saw it as the beginning of the end. I now realize it was only the end of what we ‘knew’ and the beginning of truth. The things I remember the most from the 'before' days seem so deprived of reason as I think back on them, but back then, it was what... was.

Shadow’s Veil – Part 4
Vaelin hit the ground hard. His breath punched from his lungs as he tumbled through the darkness, his body rolling across something smooth and cold. He came to a stop on his back, staring up at a sky that wasn’t a sky at all—just an endless void swirling with fragmented light, twisting like liquid glass.

Shadow’s Veil – Part 2
Darkness surged forward like a living thing. Vaelin moved on instinct, twin daggers flashing as he twisted to dodge the creeping tendrils that lashed toward them. His blade cut through nothing but air—no resistance, no flesh, nothing to kill.

The Mystery of Gravity
Gravity is a force that we all experience on a daily basis. It keeps our feet on the ground, controls how planets move, and keeps galaxies together. Gravity, despite its fundamental role in shaping the universe, remains one of physics' greatest mysteries. From Isaac Newton’s classical laws to Albert Einstein’s groundbreaking theory of relativity, scientists have made remarkable progress in understanding gravity. However, deep questions remain unanswered: Why does gravity exist? Why is it so much weaker than the other fundamental forces? Where does it fit into the quantum mechanics world? Could there be undiscovered aspects of gravity that might lead to new physics?

Shadow and Spell A Tale of Redemption Part 4
The moon hung high overhead, its pale glow barely piercing the dense canopy of the Moonveil Forest. Vaelin moved swiftly, his steps silent despite the undergrowth beneath his boots. Elira trailed close behind, her staff pulsing with a faint magical light to guide their way. Neither of them had spoken much since fleeing the cave.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Journey Through Darkness and Destiny
The Harry Potter franchise has been a cultural touchstone for over two decades, with each installment of the films not only building on the previous narrative but also deepening the emotional complexity of its characters and world. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), the sixth movie in the series, directed by David Yates, is no exception. Based on J.K. Rowling’s book of the same name, this chapter in Harry’s journey serves as a crucial turning point in the battle between good and evil, as well as in Harry’s own coming-of-age story.

Wormholes and Free Will
Introduction Physicists and fans of science fiction alike have long been intrigued by the concept of wormholes—hypothetical tunnels connecting various points in spacetime. If they exist and are traversable, they could serve as shortcuts across the vast cosmos. Even more intriguing is the possibility that they permit time travel. However, if time travel is feasible, does it conflict with the idea of free will? Could someone use a wormhole to change the past, and if so, what happens to personal agency and causality? The implications of such a scenario touch upon deep philosophical and scientific questions, questioning whether our choices truly shape reality or if we are bound by an unalterable destiny.

Shadow and Spell A Tale of Redemption Part 3
The cave was silent, save for the distant drip of water echoing off the jagged stone walls. The air smelled of damp earth and something older—ancient magic, lingering like the last whispers of a long-forgotten spell.
