I wrote in my first blog entry in biochemistry about the concept of "as above, so below", a quote by the early philosopher Hermes. After studying physics, I can say that by understanding chaos theory and fractals, I see how reducing something in nature down to its smallest parts shows the same patterns as when its a whole. It still remains to be proven how this happens on a macro scale in the universe in comparison to our Earth. However, when it comes down to vibrations, we can see that all things, be it subatomic particles, cells, trees, buildings, humans, even whole planets all have them. Is this a coincidence? I don't think so, modern physics is proving what ancient philosophers have theorized for centuries. I wrote a research paper 10 years ago on the use of cosmically tuned tuning forks to help treat ailments when applied to acupressure points. The forks are tuned to the tones of the Sun's, Earth's, and Moon's vibrations. There are other planetary forks as well, and recently, I was told that there is actually a "Jesus Hertz", lol. Maybe this is why we, as humans, are so drawn to music? It does seem to be the highest form of communication, transcending otherwise impenetrable barriers between people, religions, races. The excerpt below will explain what I feel is the ultimate synthesis of vibratory states and is the concept of which the cosmic tuning forks are based upon:
From Wikipedia:
The Music of the Spheres incorporates the metaphysical principle that mathematical relationships express qualities or "tones" of energy which manifest in numbers, visual angles, shapes and sounds – all connected within a pattern of proportion. Pythagoras first identified that the pitch of a musical note is in proportion to the length of the string that produces it, and that intervals between harmonious sound frequencies form simple numerical ratios.[1] In a theory known as the Harmony of the Spheres, Pythagoras proposed that the Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum (orbital resonance) based on their orbital revolution,[2] and that the quality of life on Earth reflects the tenor of celestial sounds which are physically imperceptible to the human ear.[3] Subsequently, Plato described astronomy and music as "twinned" studies of sensual recognition: astronomy for the eyes, music for the ears, and both requiring knowledge of numerical proportions.[4]

Newton and Descartes
Newton's Laws and Me
Law of Inertia: Depending on the task, it can take a lot of momentum for me to get started. Once I start said task, it is difficult for me to stop until completion or I have another priority or fatigue wins.
Law of Acceleration: Once an idea sparks my imagination, I want to actualize it. The inspiration is the propelling force that drives me to see the idea become a reality. The more inspired I am, the more driven I become, and as a result, the faster I make the idea a reality.
Law of Equal/Opposing Forces: I don't have a direct example pertaining to my life, but for some reason I keep thinking of people slam dancing in mosh pits.
Descartes and Reductionism
Descartes' idea of reducing something to its parts to explain it reminds me of Western medicine. Dividing a human being into systems or small parts to try to explain and heal a medical condition can be primitive. Taking a step back and looking at the human being as a whole entity--body, mind, and spirit--is the way of Chinese medicine and I believe a much more effective way of healing.

Consciousness, chaos, and fractals
Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of "ordered chaos".
Life is undoubtedly chaotic. There is always something to do, someone to see, a problem to work out, a job to go to, futures to plan, pasts to reconcile. Vacillating between doing too much and not enough. Pressure...need to meditate more, eat less sugar, exercise more, find a partner, get married, have kids, travel, achieve, grow, actualize, create, don't forget to eat, sleep, do laundry, pay the bills, request time off, study, call your mother, call your sister, don't forget to send a card to grandmother. Time is ticking, you only have one life to live, you can sleep when you're dead. Think about it too much and you might go insane. Think about it too little and you might regret it. I tend to create a kind of ordered chaos by organizing my thoughts (taking control of my mind, planning a time to think about something rather than dwelling on it) and my schedule. But what happens when I let go of my system and give the reigns to chaos? I still do what I need to do, I just do less. This isn't always desirable, but it does remind me that mostly, the chaos is in my brain, not my life. ;-)
Fractals
Fractals are defined as "geometrical shapes whose structure is such that magnification by a given factor reproduces the original object." Reduce a snowflake to its smallest part and it still looks like a snowflake. If this is the case, maybe we are the bacteria that inhabit the earth, much like bacteria populate out bodies. And Earth is a system, maybe a cell in our solar system, and our solar system is an organ in our galaxy, our galaxy is a system, a collection of galaxies makes up our universe--one giant (to us) organism...which is maybe just one small organism in a super-world of other universe-organisms. Maybe our universe is just the bacteria in another organism?

misbehaving particles; sacred geometry + physics
Just what does this CP Violation really mean?
Well, it means that in the realm of matter vs. antimatter, particles do not maintain symmetry as physicists would expect. At this point they don't know why.
How are Sacred Geometry and Physics related?
It all comes down to numbers.
Mathematics is the rhythm that forms the bass line of the universe. The word 'physics' is Ancient Greek and means "knowledge of nature". Now we know it to be, in a general sense, an in-depth analysis of nature in an effort to understand our cosmic origins and principles. Sacred geometry has been found in several ancient civilizations as the first depiction of a higher consciousness through shapes and diagrams arranged in a systematic way to offer spiritual guidance through mathematical principles. The I-Ching's 64 hexes correspond to the 64 codon structure of human DNA (discovered a few thousand years later!). Albert Einstein developed a higher dimensional math that was later found to correlate to the math underlying the structures of mandalas used in ancient Hinduism/Buddhism.
It's fascinating that Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, Fibonacci and the like all had a detailed sense of the mathematics of the universe, the physics of sacred geometry. And after the advent of the computer, Benoit Mandelbroit was finally able to take complex calculations found in nature and create a theory around 'fractals', which later became the basis for chaos theory, the study of the relationship between math, life, and time.

ENERGY MATTER GRAVITY FORCE
According to Einstein's famous equation, e = mc2, energy is converted into matter and vice versa. They are one in the same. Since I'm studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, I look at energy as yang, and matter as yin. When we look at the the taiji symbol, yin and yang are transforming into one another, and there is a part of yin within yang, and a part of yang within yin. They are essentially the same, yet take on different forms. To take it a step further, within the medicine, qi is energy and blood is matter. Blood is the mother of qi, and qi commands blood.
In order of weakest to strongest force, gravity comes first, then the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and finally the strong nuclear force. What's fascinating here is that gravity, the weakest force is what we feel from the Earth, we can jump against it with just our muscles, and build crafts that can fly away from it. In opposition of that, the strongest force, the strong nuclear force, works by keeping the smallest of particles together on a subatomic level. The little pieces that form the foundation of everything have the strongest force. Cool. Electromagnetism, well, we see that all the time, literally and metaphorically. Opposites attract. And if the weak nuclear force, got its act together it would out-muscle electromagnetism.
I'm not sure my opinion of gravity has changed much now that I've studied it. Gravity's smallest particle that's never been found is the graviton. Reminds me of this ride at the county fair I used to love when I was younger, the Gravitron. You could go inside and stand along the walls of a large circle. At the start of the ride, loud music would blast, lights would dim and flash, and the ride would start to spin. Fast. As the velocity picked up, the standing "seats" would start to slide to the ceiling of the ride. At this point, my friends and I would turn upside down and if there was room even lie sideways. Exhilarating!

Musings on synchronicity and connection
"A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart." ~ Goethe
Synchronicity. I'm not sure I can provide evidence for it, but I can say that it seems to be tied into the law of attraction and karma. What you choose to focus on is what will surround you. I have no idea how or why this works, but my hypothesis has something to do with a game I heard about years ago. It's called "Mindball" and it utilizes the players' theta brainwaves to move a ball to opposite ends of the table. The more focused player will be able to push her ball to the opposite side and win the game. It works through electrodes attached to the players' heads which are then attached to a computer, the table, and the ball. So what does this mean?
Thoughts are physically charged masses, and thus, thoughts have power to attract, repel, and blend.
I think synchronicity and connectivity are easily explained through this imagery. Our thoughts are traveling along invisible wires...maybe strings or something smaller that conduct instantaneously...and the stronger someone feels or transmits a thought, the more likely it is to be "picked up" in the current of matching thoughts or "vibrations". This can be positive or negative.
In my life, I've had a lot of psychic type friends and experiences. I know that we all have psychic antennae, but our antennae can sometimes be better at receiving information or sending it. For instance, I am a decent receiver, and a very good sender of information. I also know that the more I meditate, the better at both sending and receiving I become. Meditation increases my "connectivity" which tells me that I'm exercising a psychic muscle that puts me into having more synchronous experiences.
There is a Chinese proverb called the Red String of Fate that says "An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." I love this as it describes what we know in Western thought as soul mates or kindred spirits. Only a handful of people in my life I can say I've been absolutely destined to know, however, I feel that almost everyone I meet has something to teach me. I think there is something deeper at play here in the realm of connectivity, and the next level of human development will evolve into understanding and embracing the beauty swimming in our collective unconscious.

Uncertainty and causality in a wildly weird universe
Pertaining to the Uncertainty Principle: It is fascinating to me that, based on our own life experiences, cultural backgrounds, sex, age, and all other unlimited variables that shape our viewpoint, we are able to exist in this world together. The world changes depending on our vantage point, and I think it's what makes things spicy! That difference of opinions is the catalyst for change and growth. Heisenberg suggested that the universe reveals itself through the questions we ask. I find this to be intensely true, that my experience in this life would have been drastically different if I didn't choose to become an avid observer of the human experience, take notes, and ask questions. In this way, my own reality changes everyday in my search for a deeper understanding of my created reality and ultimately, the truth.
On Causality: Due to all of the variables that create what we know as the Uncertainty Principle, it can be difficult to nail down specific causes to events...that said, it is part of human nature to speculate and try to discover the cause. Because we love mysteries. It's in our DNA to ask why did something happen or where did we come from. A conversation comes to mind that many of us have probably had with others about their mutts..."well, we don't really know, but we think Fido is 1/2 german shephard, 1/4 chihuahua, and 1/4 cocker spaniel...don't you see it?" We don't really know what the dog is, but it is fun to try and figure it out.
The Universe is definitely weird. I only know this because I have an affinity for weird things and people and since I like the Universe, it must be weird.
