Is Teleportation Possible?

Scientists claim that it’s possible to teleport a human.

They have already done it to an atom, transporting it three metres.

It’s all about atoms and if we too are made up of atoms, then these can be broken down so that we could also transport from one place to another.

If the scientists succeed in this, just think how great it would be to transport to work within seconds of getting out of bed.

The downside; our world will become really small to us, as our ability to transport anywhere and at any time will eventually become the norm, and once we had been everywhere then the majority will want to venture out to space.

With this in mind, maybe we should begin building space ships that can take us throughout the galaxy, before it’s too late and technology catches up with us.

But what do you think?

Where Is The Green Sheep?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Where Is The Green Sheep.’

This children’s book was written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Judy Horacek.

It’s a lovely children’s book about sheep, but the question asked at the end is always “Where is the green sheep?”

It’s a delightful short story I’d recommend reading to all children.

It’s educational and encourages children to interact and look for the green sheep.

You better check under your bed, it could be there!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Can We Time Travel?

My question is, “Can we time travel?”

Unfortunately it’s claimed that time travel isn’t possible without a portal, wormhole or time machine or like in Star Trek we slingshot off a star.

Well I’m not a scientist but I’ve time travelled to and from the future, and surprisingly enough so have a lot of people.

Now I’ve not gone through a portal or wormhole, and I’ve not used a time machine or been on board the Enterprise, but I have been on an aeroplane.

I travelled to Jamaica which I’ve gone back in time by 6 hours UK time and on my return to the UK, I travelled 6 hours into the future.

So the simple answer is yes, we can time travel.

So if you've travelled to America, Japan, Australia or beyond then you too have experienced time travel.

I’m not sure if the physicists would agree, but what do you think?

Can You Grow A Red Lemon?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘The Red Lemon.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Bob Staake.

It’s a delightful children’s rhyming book about Farmer McPhee and a red lemon.

Farmer McPhee grows perfect yellow lemons, but when he finds a red lemon on one of his lemon trees he quickly gets rid of it by tossing it across the blue sea and onto an island.

However many years later the farmers lemon orchard become weeds, but the red lemon seeds have succeeded in growing an orchard of red lemon trees.

The island is now a successful tourist attraction bringing many visitors that want to eat and taste the sweet red lemon.

This is a wonderful story that educates children and adults to realise that imperfections are not a bad thing and may have more to offer in a different way.

As just like the red lemon it looked different but turned out to have much more to offer in the end.

I’d recommend children and adults read it as its very educational.

In life you will always come across something not to your liking, but remember if you turn a negative thought into a positive one, you will always find it was worth it in the end and more than likely, better than first expected.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Is A Drone A Robot?

Friend or foe, love them or hate them, are drones robots?

It’s the user that decides its fate, to create a wonderful tool to bring happiness or to bring death and destruction.

Generally drones can be used for the greater good, fitted with filming or camera equipment it can bring a new perspective to watching a video or programme on television.

With no wires attached the Ariel views capture images not seen before, this was surely a great robot to have.

But unfortunately as a product with positive attributes there are those who could also see the these attributes to a licence to kill.

Now we have flying unmanned machines that kill people from a great distance without harm to its user and with insect drones now being created, will we ever be able to tell them apart?

I think not, but more worrying is that a lot of us are now using the robot vacuum cleaners, how do we know that they’re not spying on us?

I say treat your vacuum with respect as you never know when you’ll need an ally.

What do you think?

What's A Worm Diary?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Diary Of A Worm.’

This children’s book was written by Doreen Cronin and is beautifully illustrated by Harry Bliss.

This children’s book is about a worm’s day to day life in the earth.

It’s a humorous book that gives an insight of a worm’s life, his abilities and the obstacles he faces.

And although he has the full support from his family and spider friend, he knows that earth is also grateful to him in tunneling the soil which benefits all plants and grass.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children, I’m sure they will love worms after reading this book, I know I do.

And the best thing about being a worm; you don’t ever have to go to the dentist or take a bath.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
