I learned that colors is the result of electrons gaining enough energy through electromagnetic waves irradiated from the sun (specially visible light), just to emit it back at different frequencies which result in different colors.2012-03-01 16:10:00

Which is the exact cause of the Aurora Borealis/Australis (Which you all may know as the Northern/Southern lights).

And I prefer Ableton or FL Studio over Pro Tools personally.

I learned that the Sun compared to the sun Antares is a pixel on a computer screen. And that--compared to Antares on a screen--we would be smaller than an atom.
Makes you feel small, doesn't it?
And Antares is--if I remember correctly--only the fourteenth biggest sun known to man. VY Canis Majoris is the largest ever discovered, measuring in at 1 billion times larger than our sun.

Ableton/Fl Studio = Easier

Pro Tools = Better (hence why it's called "Pro" Tools )

I learned that there is a diamond the size of planet somewhere out in space, formed by the death of a giant star that became so dense it formed into diamond, there is some other stuff on it but it's mostly diamond.

Now to figure out a way to bring it near Earth and make diamond the most abundant material to mankind which in turn would also make it the most worthless material. *trollface*

I learned that people still call other stars "suns".

You will only decrease the value of a diamond by a small percent. In reality, diamonds would still be worth a good amount of money because they are still the strongest mineral on Earth. The fact that this diamonds came from space would only increase its value to collectors, as it is a very rare find.

I learned that I can save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

But in all seriousness, I learned that if you take more than 18 sleeping pills a year, you are four times more likely to die.

And Ableton and FL are still better though... They just are.

Correction: "sons"
I birthed all of the stars in the universe after eating lucky charms.
Jk
I just didn't think it mattered either way. Don't you call it a sun if there's a system of objects revolving around it?

My brains couldn't keep up with the size. Amazing.
