Week Three: Physics

Blog assignments for this week:
* What evidence can you find for synchronicity


Best answer I've found so far for this question (and I agree with) comes from Roger Paul Neyman of the Wilmette Institute:

"By the nature of the phenomenon, any evidence for synchronicity must be anecdotal and subjective. This is because you cannot set up an experimental context for meaningfulness and an acausal connectedness. Thus, I suspect that synchronicity will always remain beyond the outskirts of natural science."

* Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?


I think connectivity has to do with resonant frequencies.  I can't give a ton of explanation beyond that, but 5 element theory is based on a similar assumption.  An example: I'm a student in a Physics class.  The teacher posts an assignment to explain connectivity.  I am now thinking about this assignment, which the teacher has already thought about and we may assume continue to think about.  There are several other students in the Physics class.  They will also think about this assignment.  When we are back in class, although we have not seen each other in this context for over a week, we have remained connected to each other through our thoughts concerning this assignment, which will nonetheless inform the meaning and manifestation of the class now.  If there's a frequency created by the thinking concerning the connectivity assignment, then its something scientifically undetectable.  But if there were a frequency, it would be possible to resonate with other similar frequencies.

 Thanks so much for bringing in your Native American perspective on these topics, I really appreciate it.  Mitakuye Oyasin

Week 9: Chemistry

I found two articles that address the Alkaline Diet from two different perspectives.  The conclusion of the first article is that " There may be some value in considering an alkaline diet in reducing morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases and further studies are warranted in this area of medicine ." Check that article out here . The other article doesn't find any benefit to the Alkaline Diet, beyond the fact that it suggests eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and low in processed foods.  It's conclusion states " Your body tightly regulates blood pH levels. In healthy people, diet doesn’t significantly affect blood pH — but it can change urine pH."   That article is here . I haven't given the diet much thought beyond the generalized suggestions mentioned in the latter article.  Obviously can't hurt too much to eat a diet high in vitamin-rich whole plant foods.  I did notice that lemon is a 9 on the pH scale - and being of Greek ...

Week X: Chemistry

Investigate the chemicals... I've got a shmorgishborg of products underneath the sink, a spectrum of chemicals ranging from the benign to the outright toxic.  I'd say I prefer to use more natural products, but when it comes down to it, I kind of just use what's around and try not to overthink it.  I think it's OK to be mindful of the cleaners you're using and to "use with caution" when necessary.  For the most part, I wear vinyl gloves or something similar when I do the deep cleaning, and try to remember to crack a window for ventilation.  On the safer side of things I have vinegar and castile soap, and on the more toxic side things like bleach, Kaboom (have no idea what this is but most likely some sort of bleach compound), stainless steel cleaner (contains petroleum distillates), and a product called CLR (propylene glycol ethers and other solvents). Examples of "safer" alternatives I said I would post some of the recipes I use for DIY hous...

Newton's Three Laws and Me This is a response reposted from reddit from the query "How do Newton's Laws and Einstein's Theories Contradict?", I just really like how this was stated: level 1 Weed_O_Whirler Aerospace | Quantum Field Theory 10 points · 4 years ago Newton's Laws are known as the "slow speed" approximation of physical laws (they are also the "large scale" approximation- we talk about this when we are discussing how they contradict Quantum Mechanics). What is important to remember, it isn't that Newton's Laws are "wrong" and Einstein's Laws are "right." Both sets of laws are mathematical models of what actually happens, and Einstein's Laws cover a wider variety of cases than Newton's Laws, but they are still a model, which does not perfectly predict all situations. Now, as for the differences, Newton's Laws explain what happens when large things move slowly (lar...
