For human beings, motion is life. Our bodies are made to move. By exercising modestly on a regular basis, we can change the rate of our aging on a biochemical level. Regular exercise also improves mood, boosts energy levels, and builds self-confidence.

“It is a long time since my last visit,” said Dumbledore, peering down his crooked nose at Uncle Vernon. “I must say, your agapanthus are flourishing.”

The terahertz (1 trillion cycles per second) gap refers to a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum where efficient generation, detection, and manipulation of radiation have been very challenging. It’s found from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, between the technologies of infrared/optics and microwave/electronics.
Passes through clothing, paper, plastics, ceramics. Strongly absorbed by water and many molecules. Sensitive to moisture; good for spectroscopy. Reflects off metals. Safer than X-rays for human scanning.
Wireless Communication (6G and beyond) — THz bands offer enormous bandwidth for ultra-high-speed data (terabits per second), though with short range and high atmospheric absorption.
I check my heart now, and I find that there is still a feeling there, of something hot & struggling.
I roll my eyes back under my closed lids, and there is the sense of opening in the middle of my forehead.
The chest thing is like fighting for words and the forehead thing is pure & empty, like after all the words have been said.
There now. Belief.
I have the biology of it. All I need is the stuff to put in there. All I need are the words.
The Gathering by Anne Enright (2007)
Humans are amphibians – half spirit and half animal.
As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time means to change.
Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation – the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs & peaks.
If you watch carefully, you will see this undulation in every department of his life – his interest in his work, his affection for his friends, his physical appetites, all go up & down.
As long as he lives on earth periods of emotional and bodily richness and liveliness will alternate with periods of numbness & poverty.
Fun is closely related to Joy – a sort of emotional froth arising from the play instinct; it promotes charity, courage, contentment, and many other evils.
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C.S.LEWIS
Things form in my brain. They get bigger & bigger until I must write them down to free up some space in my head.
It’s the same way a chicken lays an egg. When people eat that egg, the chicken is probably thinking, Really? You like that? It just came out of my butt.
