Physics week #1: Bio & The meaning of Time

 


Bio

I am a first year full-time student at ACCHS since last fall. After spending many years as an engineer, I realized that career achievement could not fulfill my deepest desire. Deeply inspired by the teachings of Yoga and meditation, the wisdom of herb and alternative healing, I decided to follow my dream in the holistic healing arts. Chinese medicine and acupuncture are valuable gifts from our ancestors, and mindful healing modalities that our modern society needs. I am so grateful for this learning opportunity.


The Meaning of Time

What is time? By definition, it is the indefinite continuous progress of existence and events past, present and future considered as a whole. Time seems real, always moving forward and advances. It has order, duration and sequence.  However, Albert Einstein said, "Time is an illusion. ” According to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, time is a relative concept and the higher you live above sea level the faster you should age. The only true constant, is the speed of light. I like the quote of Carlo Rovelli,  “This distinction between past and future is not present in the basic grammar of the world. It comes about only because we have a blurred vision of reality.” Quantum physics suggests there is no evidence of time. This could simply be an outcome of our individual human perspective. Don’t we remember that time passes extremely slow when we are experiencing difficulties, and it flies through when we are so happy? Individual human perspective!

Physics Week#7 Ordered Chao, fractals, and Consciousness

Image
  Ordered chaos” – does this sound familiar? By definition, ordered chaos is a complex situation or process that appears chaotic while having enough order to achieve progress or goals. It does sound familiar to me. I have seen some of these examples in daily life. Yarrow plants vary in height. However, they appear to be shorter as the altitude gets higher. Sometimes it sounds like we're going in different directions. But when we look back, they all make sense. And a meaningful goal, a purpose is hidden behind our experiences. Fractals as patterns of complex systems  In mathematics, a fractal is a subset of Euclidean space with a fractal dimension that strictly exceeds its topological dimension. A fractal system is a complex, nonlinear, interactive system capable of adapting to a changing environment. We have seen some patterns in nature, such as snow flakes, crystals, DNA, etc. Fractals and Chaos have something in common. In general, fractals can be any type of infinitely scaled an

Physics Week#6 Are all vibrations good? Resonance..

Image
    Are all vibrations “good”? According to String theory, tiny vibrating strings of energy make up every particle in the universe. We are a living energy field, and so is everything else in the universe. Are all vibrations good? It is not desired everywhere and can even cause great damage. This is because systems can vibrate so violently that the construction cannot withstand the stress. The bridge collapsed as a result of structural resonance. In addition, every one of us may have encountered people of low vibration in our lives. It's not a very pleasurable experience. Positive vibrations are high-frequency thinking patterns, attitudes, emotions, whereas negative vibrations are low-frequency thinking patterns, attitudes and emotions. We are naturally drawn to those high vibe people around us.  Resonance in my world Resonance occurs when the frequency of the applied force is equal to one of the natural frequencies of vibration of the forced or driven harmonic oscillator.  T

The Chemistry of Life

Image
Biochemistry is the chemistry of life, a bridge between biology and chemistry that studies how complex chemical reactions give rise to life. What is biology? It is the study of life and living things. What is Chemistry? It is the study of matter what it consists of, what its properties are, and how it changes.  What is a bridge? Here we are, biochemistry! It is the chemistry of life, studies how complex chemical reactions give rise to life. It is relatively new field, and is undergoing rapid expansion. " Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological processes. It has provided explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, animals and plants.”   It sounds like an exciting experience to step on the bridge!
