Week 4 Reflections: The Four Forces


How has e=mc2 affected you?

It helps me look at matter as slowly moving energy, which is useful when thinking about Qi. It also reminds me how the frequency of Vibration of atoms determines states of matter: liquid, gas, or solid.
The equation also reminds me we're made out of particles and elements created by ancient exploded stars, and that we all share the same origin of creation - the Big Bang, which makes me feel more connected to people and the environment.

How would you compare the four “forces”?

These 4 forces hold the world together and allow it to function and exist.
Strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force allow materials to interact chemically by way of electrons. Electromagnetic forces help object interact in a field of attraction and repulsion. Gravity brings everything into relationship of attraction and holding.

What is the function of gravity?

Gravity's function is Attraction, but just enough so that moons and planets can orbit around stars, people can walk, insects can fly. It's a profound force of attraction and holding/bringing together, but it also must be flexible.

Week 8/10 : Classical Physics - Newton, Descartes

Newton’s Three Laws and me 1st Law of Motion Objects in rest tend to stay at rest & objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. I totally take this realization for granted because it seems like common sense. And now after learning about quantum physics, it seems like it excludes a lot of factors. 2nd Law of Motion Force equals mass x acceleration & Acceleration equals force divided by mass. This makes sense to me. But I don’t feel inspired to elaborate on it a lot.   3rd Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You can see this applies in a big way to the physical world, but it doesn’t apply to the world of relationship dynamics or human psychology.  Our “Energy Efficient” Culture The American Culture is undoubtedly wasteful. It's based on excessive consumption & convenience. There’s energy wasted on every level of industrial production and capitalist systems. It’s really u...

Biophysics: Recognizing Acupuncture in the Medical Picture

Acupuncture as effective energy medicine  I think what is missing from western allopathic medicine is energy medicine, which is maybe why TCM might seem unfounded and too foreign. What I find interesting is that acupuncture has been developed for thousands of years based on observation of the universe in a different way than western medicine. Physics has recently developed the concepts of the  Quantum field  and quantum entanglement, which illustrates some of the ways TCM functions. My personal experiences with acupuncture have shown me some of the depth and expanse of its effects. I have felt energy goes up the acupuncture meridians, floated into space, and have felt inflammation go down in my intestines. It is such a fascinating medicine & shows there's so much more to the universe than I thought before attending TCM school.
