Physics - Synchronicity

Prompt: 
"What evidence can you find for synchronicity
Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?"

 This is such an interesting subject. It gets me tangled up and I don't know if I'm able to write about it. How to write a blog post on something I know to be true and real but don't have the vocabulary to describe it satisfactorily to another party. 

 Who's satisfaction? Synchronicity depends wholly on the witness - who is viewing it? A synchronistic event can't be untangled from its viewer(s). Should it be? Does synchronicity need to be recognized? 

 Any evidence I have for synchronicity is going to be subjective, and describing a subjective experience isn't evidence in a laboratory-objective-textbook way. And that's where I get stuck. I want to come across as very logical and full of right angles, and this subject is very irregularly-shaped. 

 This entanglement idea - that teeny tiny bits in me are unfathomably connected to minuscule bits in someone or something else, and sometimes they have cause to react simultaneously - I love this. Like someone else said in the discussion, I take these moments as a sign that the universe is speaking to me, telling me yea or nay about some path or decision. Why would the universe do this? Why would it care? If I take the vantage point that I'm the most important person, then the universe so interfering in my life would make perfect sense. But if these events are happening frequently to anyone who has this idea, then the vantage point changes. The frame widens. I start worrying about what the end goal is, the objective to all this universal meddling and nudging. And I don't want animals, insects, pathogens, and spores to be left out of this equation, either. Dreams, myths, the collective unconscious. Would my worrying about it/witnessing it change the way things are progressing? And bad things are also happening, suffering and desire. Now there are too many parts to keep track of - this is where the need for faith fits neatly. 

 My happiness depends on the idea of a benevolent universe so I back up again into my little community-sized frame and enjoy the synchronicities in the small ways I have been. So I guess I do have the vocabulary to discuss it; but discussing it makes me feel uneasy, like I'm touching the edge of the void. It's a wonderfully fun thing to think about but a little above my pay grade.

    I truly respect your honest viewpoint in this manner! I can feel your very soul trying to break through to the next world to expanding your consciousness in synchronicity! And your cat gif is so adorable~

Biochemistry Paper: The Microbiome and TCM

ACCHS Biochemistry Summer 2018 Professor Spears Sarah Donnelly The Microbiome and TCM The microbiome is an enormously interesting area right now. With steadily rising rates of gastrointestinal disorders, despite all the best that western medicine has to offer, people are looking for a solution which isn't worse than the illness. Clostridium difficile (C.diff) infections alone have doubled in the United States in the last decade. There are many variables which can contribute to all this gut-sickness, but the underlying problem is our western medical model. Our current model, with the finest technology and equipment at its disposal, has distilled all functional parts of the human body – flora and fauna, vitamins, probiotics, antioxidants, amino acids and the like – down to their very basest constituents. We have the machines which tell us exactly which nutrients we lack, and we pack it into pills and swallow it down. This is our preventative medicine. The body ...

Physics: Symmetry

My (a)symmetrical world -  If we're talking life, I'm neatly bookended by birth and death: transition thresholds which are crossed to enter/exit our seen world. As I near these thresholds, I become less complex, less independent, and contain less mass. In that respect, life looks like a perfect palindrome. In between those transitions, there are little symmetries that I look for because it feels comforting: synchronicities; finding things in common with other people; seeing 11:11 on a digital clock; recognizing shadow/light issues in self, society and history; patterns in natural forms. And word games like palindromes: "do geese see god?" Finding these symmetries sort of feels like the Universe is giving me a friendly poke. Just what does this CP violation really mean? At this moment, I really wish I had heard the lecture last week, because it's all very confusing. C refers to Charge Conjugation - all processes involving particles should carry on ind...

Biochem: Living Diversity

This is a terrible truth. "The human species is living as if it had more than one planet to occupy". And more weighty than ever with the present administration - at first impression, it seemed they were simply overturning their predecessor's policies across the board. But worse than that, they are overturning the earth-protecting policies which hamper the profits of large corporations.  The Dakota Access Pipeline, disavowing all evidence of climate change, dismantling protections for the earth, air and water, endangered animals - not to mention horrific crimes against people who aren't wealthy or white. It's hard to even write about without getting my heat up and feeling frustrated and angry at myself for not taking action. I'm gone off topic a little here, focusing on the crimes of this administration specifically instead of humankind in general, but the ones here on home soil are so much more glaring to me.  In the US, we seem to be living as i...
