Physics Week 6: Vibrations

Viiiiibes brrro! I love them!
But I don't necessarily think all vibes are good vibes... brooo (okay, I'm gonna stop).
One of my best friends pointed out to me one day that the cup is neither half empty or half full, it just is. I feel the same way about vibrations. Some may have feelings of love and others of deep roots and some can even feel creepy or make you feel sad. Regardless, they're just a part of life, good or bad. Whatever you want to call the feeling you associate with the vibration, it is only you that's doing the labeling. It's just an experience, a relation to something else.
Also, vibrations can easily change, so why label something, if in the next minute, it could be a completely different frequency.

The resonance stuff really fascinated me. I love learning about frequencies and what they do when they collide with one another. Even the noise cancellation ear phones Larry was talking about blew my mind. I want to know so much more. I wonder how it relates to our connections with other people and things. What parts of us resonate with that other person and do those frequencies have something to do with how we relate and attract ourselves to others?

Energy and Qi are slightly related, in that energy is a part of the concept of Qi. Qi is more. It's life force, life "energy". But it includes deeper associations then energy. It is a part of you and your essence and all of life's essence.

Biology Week 6: The Nature of Life

I remember when I was little having empathy for inanimate things. The ground, rocks, my stuffed animals, even a table or the wall. It concerned me on a deep level that no one else was seeing it. I'm not sure when "I grew out of that", but now that I'm talking about it, I think deep down, I still feel that way. I would have to say that to me, there is no difference between living and non-living systems. All of this is one living system.

I really don't know how to answer this question, I mean of course the DNA of humans across boarders is the same. I don't know why we would think otherwise. And yeah, of course society determines race. I don't really know what this article was trying to tell me as a reader.
Racial differences are an enormous truth in this world, and at this point I would hope that most of us know it's not on a biological tip, it's what society and power and greed and fear has done. But saying that it doesn't exist can be extremely detrimental.  Some people might find it easier to say it doesn't exist to them, but that's trying to throw away something that has shaped the way of the world. It's negating millions of people that have suffered and are suffering on a daily basis because of their skin color, so please believe, that shit is real.

Physics Week 5: Symmetry and Sacred Geometry

My (a)symmetrical world... I live in a pretty asymmetrical world, both with habits I have that may be unbalanced and with the world I view around me. But I think exact symmetry is more just a symbol of what is, rather than what truly is. Everything, from the way a tree grows, to the way a baby lays in the womb, to music theory, to the way our eyes see, is geometrical and symmetrical in theory, but when it comes down to it, in reality, all people and things are "flawed". Nothing is symmetrical. Life doesn't work in that way, although, in theory, we run on symmetry and are constantly striving for such.

CP Violation (standing for Charge Parity) is a violation of the theory CP-symmetry in which a particle and it's antiparticle should be in perfect mirror image symmetry of one another. This discovery showed that weak interactions violate not only the charge-conjugation symmetry C between particles and antiparticles and the P or parity, but also their combination.

There are many connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics. Sacred Geometry is one way to look at physics in a pictorial way. I think it's an incredible view into the world of Physics and can really help people to see the beauty of the way this world works.

Biology Week 4: The Pattern of Life

The way humans have viewed animal intelligence is always changing, I suppose. In the past, or in other cultures, animals have been treated anywhere from forms of God/Gods to nothing more than something that is below par to a human. I've always known that animals have a keen sense of awareness and an intelligence that humans cannot quantify, but it was really mind blowing to me that even amoebas "which are supposed to have no brain at all, have social skills. Amoebas have been shown to sacrifice themselves for other amoebas, especially if closely related." This makes me rethink a lot about life on this planet and how I treat other creatures.

Physics Week Four: Energy, Matter and Force

E=MC2 is always affecting my life, because of the sun and its energy. The sun converts 4 Hydrogen atoms into a Helium atom and in this fusion a little bit of matter doesn't fuse into the Helium. This matter is converted to energy. A very strong energy, which actually is how this Earth has life on it at all.

The 4 Four Fundamental Forces

Gravity, the weakest of the four forces, but is the one we recognize on a daily basis. It's what keeps us physically on this planet. Newton described it as "Every object in the Universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the two objects."
Electromagnetic Force has to do with the attraction or repulsion of positive and negative charges. This is the attraction that keeps atoms together.
Weak Nuclear Force is the force responsible for radioactive decay and is said to be capable of transforming neutrons into protons and vice-versa.
Strong Nuclear Force, which is the strongest of the four forces is the glue that keeps the protons and neutrons confined to the nucleus.

The function of gravity, we may never know, but I find it interesting that at different spots on earth, there are different fields of gravity. Or different strengths on the objects in that area. I think I am very sensitive to gravity and pulls it has on the water in my body. I wonder how I would be affected by living in different areas on Earth.
