What Up Steemologist
Some believe that there are no coincidences in the universe and that everything is connected. A butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the planet can cause a hurricane on the other. I know that may sound extreme but given the state of things right now I can't rule anything out these days.
Stephen Hawkings
This man was a pioneer not just in cosmology and physics but also in philosophical thought. I feel that you kinda have to be if you focus your life to the stars.
Most people in these fields don't leave any room for religious or spiritual interpretation. They are absolutist that are only convinced though deductive reasoning. In a age where we are literally being told that our reality is fake losing someone like him can take a toll on the scientific progress.
Here are some interesting quotes from him
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
I find it interesting that he left on a day that has a lot of eerie coincidences.
Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. He died today, March 14th, on the anniversary of Einstein's birth. Time is circular - no beginning, no end.

Solar Flares
If there was ever a time to use the saying "The Perfect Storm" this is probably it. Now I'm not saying that all of this is connected but it is pretty coincidental.
Nasa spotted a solar flare releasing a coronal mass ejection earlier this week
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a 'G1' storm watch
It coincides with the formation of 'equinox cracks' in the sun, which form around the equinoxes on March 20 and September 23 and weaken the magnetic field
The sun goes though these cycles a lot and the immediate effect will most likely be on electrical equipment. I do feel that it will have some effect on our emotional states having all of that energy move through us. If the moon can affect us the sun probably exerts some type of influence as well.
Trump
I can't really add more to what already has been said about this crazy man. I think it is a first to get fired on twitter.
To me it seems like he wants foreign policy to some from the white house and not the state department. He has installed the CIA director and from all accounts he is a war monger. So be prepared for a direct conflict with another country possibly Russia. It's hard to say at this point but the amount of chaos that is going on is not good for the future of the U.S. Only time will tell what madness he decides to pull next.
