Physics week seven

1. Ordered Chaos seems like western life itself.  Life seems to always be overscheduled with productive events that leave me running from one thing to another in a state of chaotic frenzy.  ;0)  That's what ordered chaos in the more negative sense.  On the other hand, nature is a consistant example of ordered chaos.  Nothing in nature has a linear sense of order to it, yet everything has its purpose and interconnectness.

2. Fractals exemplify odered chaos. The patterns are so complex and grandiose, yet they seem to have a patterned theme to them as the pattern builds on itself.  They get more and more complex as the system gets larger.

3. Conciousness out of chaos....... hmmm.  On one sense, nature again is a great example of this.  With its constantly changing states comes the conciousness that makes up life itself.  Humans are not always concious of this due to the chaotic way that we run around doing rather than being.  Chaos keeps us on our toes though.  Change keeps us from getting static, it keeps the mind flexible and offers us an opportunity to keep aware of how life is unfolding in front of us.

I tried to post  a video, but don't think it came through, so here's the link

Biology week Six

1.  I definitely don't believe that DNA should be patented.  I understand that Myriad Genetics has invested a lot of money in their research, but my hope would be that their research could be used by fellow scientists to continue to fight breast and ovarian cancer.  Where would we be if TCM practitioners from long ago patented their herbal formulas and knowledge?  The fight against patenting body parts aside, scientific research should be able to be continuously built upon for the health and longevity of the human race and the earth.  To patent that would be selfish.

2. I do think that the evidence of acupuncture helping reproductive health would be an advance for TCM.  It is bringing TCM into the western spotlight which will continue to help it gain clout in the western medical model. This is good for the careers of TCM practitioners, but may have some negative implications if the science gets picked apart and separated too much.  I hope that is not the case.  As people reach for TCM to help with reproductive health and have positive results, they may continue to use it as a viable medicine and may continue to make positive health and lifestyle changes.  Maybe I am too hopeful, but that is what I would like to see.

Physics week six

1.  I don't think that all vibrations are good.  Violence holds a vibration, oil drilling has a vibration, and so does sickness.  I don't think that those things could be considered "good".  Although they may reverberate and cause positive vibrations down the line.  But this also brings the question, "how can one decide what is good vs bad".   I do believe that there is space for all things in the universe, including violence.

2. Resonance is interesting to me.  The fact that bridges can fall due to being at the same resonance of the ground it is on, etc, is fascinating.  I believe that people relate differently depending on if their resonances match or don't. This can be seen when you take a New Yorker citier and put them in the same room with someone from a midwestern farm town.  You can pretty much guess that their outward resonance will be different, although their internal resonance might actually match up once the effect of their home environment wears off.

3.  I think that energy and Chi are one and the same. The only differnce is that energy is recognized by physicists, and Chi is only recognized in the Eastern Traditions.

biology week five

• Can we control our sugar habit?

I think we can.  Although the modern diet doesn't make it easy.  Sugar is in everything, sauces, bread, salad dressing, etc.  The only way to get away from it completely is to cook with whole foods.  I do a cleanse 2x per year and refrain from sugar and other contaminants. I always end up eating it again though.  Its more of a mind craving than a body one, something I reach for when stressed or upset.  

• Are you convinced about the safety of Fukushima tuna?

No, I'm not convinced.  I'm sure it has some amount of radiation in it, but so do many other things.  Our environment has a ton of it.  It suprises me that people will get upset about the radiation in food, but not even question the effect of having a cell phone glued to thier ear at all times or eyes glued to a computer.   

• Do you vote for the chicken or the egg?

Neither.  Maybe they both came into being simultaneously.  

physics week five

1. I see the world as more asymmetrical world than symmetrical.  I think its the very nature that makes life beautiful and diverse.  It is the small asymmetries of a face that distinguishes it from another.  In the desert, the desert flowers are wild, colorful and unique so to attract pollinators to them and away from their competitors.  Although in some ways flowers are symmetrical, they have small asymmetrical attributes that distinguish them from one another.  I think a lot of things in life seem symmetrical until we look closer.

2. CP violation is just another physics theory gone wrong.  Although the entire CPT theorem did not make a whole lot of sense to me being that it speaks of almost immesurable things.  The Kaon is either decaying at an oppositional rate than it should or physicists are overlooking something.  The kaon seems to be more linked into time than other quarks, whatever that means.  ;0)

3. Physics tries to explain the mysteries of life and sacred geometry is the mystery of life, no explanation needed.  Sacred geometry is what is there when we really open our eyes, where as physics is mostly what we cannot see with the human eye.  One is a set of explanations, the other a set of theories attempting to explain.  

biology week four

1. Animals have a deeper ingrained intelligence than we do.  It is more the type of intelligence that we would have if we were not societally trained and were still living in the forests.  They sense danger, kindness, and intentions better than humans can.  Instead of feeling into the energy of most situations, most humans will rationalize it.  That is how we measure intelligence, how adept is the rational brain.  It really brings to question, which is actually more intelligent.  I feel like we could learn a lot by watching the innate intellect of animals.  I feel that it is the fault of most humans when the intelligence of animals are not measured correctly.  We tend to look for human traits rather than to look at the animal traits that we share and how much more adept at these they are.  

physics week four

1. I feel the effects of E=MCsquared mostly when I think about how much energy is contained inside of every living thing.  We have an infinate amount of energy to use, no wonder we have the power to heal.  When thinking about that formula, it proves that Chinese Medicine works.  Although, in the west, energy is rarely thought of in that way.

2. The four forces are what keeps us alive and functioning. If one were stronger than it is, than life could not exist in its current state.  Gravity for instance, if it were stonger than our skeletons would not be able to hold up against its force.  And if Strong Nuclear force were weaker, than everything would be in a constant state of creation and explosion.  It seems that the four forces are what keep the balance of life itself.

3. The function of gravity is to keep us on earth instead of floating off into space.  It keeps the balance between the funcion of things.  If it was not specific to how two objects effect each other than we would be able to lift mountains, but maybe not a pencil.  It makes me wonder how the Egyptians defied gravity to build the pyramids.
