Week 10: Physics

Are there connections you can make between Sacred Geometry and Physics?



Here's an eye opening Ted Talk by Garrett Lisi from 2008 discussing geometry at quantum levels.  His version of the unified field theory combines particle physics with Einstein's theory of gravitation.

And this video bridges the work of Lisi with that of Klee Irwin's Quantum Gravity Research team.  Definitely give this one a try.

Can the Fibonacci series be seen as a "signature of life"?

Of course, after watching all of these videos late into the night, I think so too.

    It's no doubt that geometric patterns informs physics and physical science in general. However, behind these geometries, I am guessing there is a sort of harmonics driven by sound. Thus the consideration here is that sound precedes geometric patterns at various levels of manifestation.

      I think string theorists would agree with your comment, if they were to snapshot their overall attempt to reducing the basic stuff of the universe to strings. The math is super funky, cumbersome, and lacking worthwhile prediction, which is why E8 folks rightfully challenge the theory. I've never looked at the math, but I'm going to assume that assessment is correct, which is why superstring theory supplanted string. Regardless, I think the superstring version of the theory is still attractive. On the other hand, cymatics is probably more relevant to E8 than it is to string, so it's not that "the cosmos is sound" philosophy is negated. Superstring vs E8 - 10 dimensions versus 8 - I'm not really that attached to the +/- 2 dimensions.

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...
