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 - Energy, Matter, and Force

E=MC^2 was abstract for me until I read this description of an experiment: "When two particles collide with high energies, they generally break into pieces, but these pieces are not smaller than the original particles. They are again particles of the same kind and are created out of the energy of motion (kinetic energy) involved in the collision process...This way, we can divide matter again and again, but we never obtain smaller pieces because we just create particles out of the energy involved in the process."  - The Tao of Physics This made the concept more accessible! From here, it was easy to make the jump from particles colliding to the action of healing with energy. I could see how an experienced practitioner could direct intentional kinetic energy to another creature, and how that energy could affect the mass of the recipient. Moving from the quantum level (or level of intent) to the macro level.  Compare the 4 forces: Strong force: (strongest) Responsible fo...

Physics: Loafing Around Without Feeling Guilty

Dictionary.com has 'loafing' as 1.  to idle away time: 2. to lounge or saunter lazily and idly This is so easy in theory! In the middle of a class, I'll be dreaming about sleeping in until noon, eating ice cream for breakfast, and staying up late reading trashy novels. In practice, my teenage dreams are mostly beyond the capabilities of my 30-something body. My eyes open at 6am, whether I want it or not; ice cream is now known as 'the triple yin death', and 10pm is really way too late for me anymore.  So I took this assignment to mean do something relaxing that I wouldn't normally do. I planned out a perfect 2-daygetaway for the semester break. This took lots of time to dream about, play with maps and restaurant and beach reviews, all of which was very satisfying. For this, I have realistic goals - I'll be up and to bed early but in between, no one will be able to ask anything of me, and nothing work or school like will be scheduled. I'll hav...
