Controlled Temperature Change Inside Ear Can Prevent Migraines

Interesting news for migraine sufferers!

Controlled temperature change inside ear can prevent migraines

The application of gentle cooling and warming currents inside the ear canal can provide relief for migraine sufferers, new research at the University of Kent has helped show.

Volunteers in the study who had a history of migraines experienced a significant reduction in the number of migraines they normally experienced in a month after using a technique known as caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS).

CVS activates the balance organs which are believed to alter activity in the area of the brain, known as the brainstem, associated with the onset of migraine headaches.

The research, entitled Preventing episodic migraine with caloric vestibular stimulation: a randomized trial, (David Wilkinson, University of Kent; et al.) was published 27 June in the journal Headache. See: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/head.13120/abstract

So There Are Black Holes, but there is also White Holes. AKA WORMHOLES. Theoretically.

Confused and scared and excited by Space.

You learn something new everyday, especially in Space Club. Based on the theory of general relativity, a white hole is a hypothetical region of space time which cannot be entered, but matter and light escape from it. So it is basically the opposite of a Black Hole.

Black holes sucks everything in and nothing escapes and white holes pushes everything out.

White holes have never been observed, but the fact that we now have an image of a black hole, we may be getting closer.

I have been reading so much about White Holes and to be honest I am still SO CONFUSED. One theory about white holes is that objects falling towards it would never reach the center (or the event horizon as it is called in science) but would keep falling until it reaches the event horizon of a black hole. Confused? Me too.

Here is a picture:

So There Are Black Holes, But There Is Also White Holes. AKA WORMHOLES. Theoretically.

So to recap, one theory is that Black Holes open up to White Holes, aka a WORMHOLE. That is right. The Wormhole theory is basically you go into a black hole and you come out of a white hole. And vice versa I guess? Meaning a sort of bridge or bend in space time. UM OK? Also - this is an incredibly watered down version of these theories and there is so much more info that goes into this. Here is a another picture that kind of shows a black hole connected to a white hole.
