How would you rate "the control of artificaial limbs by thought alone"?

I think this would be amazing thing. So many could benefit from such thing. But again ethical issue at hand. Be sure for right reason.

Would you support the development of a "bionic" Person?

I have to say it depends on the reason that they want to create. If for unethical reason then no. But for reason to help other then yes.

Human intent as if affects health

Feel that when I have positive attitude I feel healthy. Feel that our intent is most important for good health. Must keep positive attitude to feel healthy.

What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography?

Looking forward to seeing what picture was like. It most impressed me. It reflected what I was feeling at time. I think can be useful tool for practioner.

Acupuncture as effective energy medicine

I have to say because of my background in Japan this isn't much of question for me. I believe it is so it is. Many study and info in asian to prove results.

Biophysics and Oriental Medicine

I feel as if maybe they can be one in same.
In Biophysics they are concerned with many same aspects as us in oriental medicine.
They consider all aspects of our exhistence as we understand it.
We strive in oriental medicine to take what is already exhisting,treat with it,enlighten and broaden the mind,and encourage a more holistic approach to exhistence on a multi conscious level.

I know I'm a "living system"because .....

Well I say I assume I am a living system,because I see and have seen my growth.
I eat and digest.
I shed,hair & skin so.
I must be producing more.
I have to assume that I am living system because I have mental capacity.

Can I synthesize East and West?

Rather than eastern medicine and western medicine attempting to condradict one another, they should attemp living as one. Learning from one another. It takes all things in harmony to exist in eutopia.

My e-prime day

I woke up from what I have precieved as rest. I see coming through the blinds what my eyes previeve as light. At this time I think I sense my bed beneath me. I think my body is moving me to get out of bed. I think I open the blinds and see the colors of the walls as most human eyes precieve it. I appear to walk into what I precieve as the bathroom. I think I turn the light on as recieve light in my eyess like most human. I believe I take a shower becasue of the heat and water sensations I assume to have like other humans. I dry off assuming that I am dry by seeing and feeling the water go away as most humans previeve it. I put on what I assume to be my clothes. I watch what we precieve to be time so I am not late to what I have been assuming are my classes.

Descartes has a lot to answer for!

I'm not too sure how to respond. I would say that during Descartes time, he did have quite a bit to answer for if he were making implications that the universe (natural phenomena) was or could be explained by mathamatical description. Also that the masses take a more analytical thought to the study of nature rather than merely making the assumption that we were creations of a superior being? I would say that the church at the time might have had some sort of comment on this althought he still insisted on the absolute freedom of God's act of Creation. His ideas opened doors of thought which contributed to and allowed new processes to be discovered in relation to others.

Our "energy efficient" culture.

'Mottainai'....... (Japanese word)3 R's- Reuse, Recycle, and Reduce + Respect. When we conserve energy we will hopefully be able to use it more wisely in the future or at least prolong it for future generations. Possibly even reducing the thermal radiation that we produce into the universe. If we conserve then we will have it when we need it from personal to universal.

Newton's three laws and me.

Newton's laws of motion can basically be applied to keeping in a postitive energy and direction of good health physically and emotionally. If we as practioner are focusing our energies in a forward motion the in most case results will be positive. If we apply laws then it may happen even faster if we focus.

Consciouness out of chaos?

We take the chaos that we experience and put it together with the abilities that we were given, inherited, developed, and attempt to process and make some sense of it. There are times when our minds as we know them are unable to make sense of a situation (Fate, Chaos) and we deal and move on. In most cases we are able to build, devleope, and process the infromation to a degree of understanding so we can go on with life.

Fractals as pattern of complex systems

I would associate this with the function of our metal thought processes. We all have to repetitivly process the situations, information, etc., of the day and in the same manner in which we were tought to. This repitition, combined with the factors of fate I feel create this for us in our daily living and processing on a continous basis.

What does "ordered chaos" mean to you?

I feel that it helps me to keep an open mind while at the same time learning what we have to learn to have the knowledge that we do. Keeping myself open for change, advancement, and broadening my knowledge. Not to lock myslef into one idea or theory to be more open to all.

Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?

How could there not be. Even though the sacreds didn't have technology like us they still had mind and ability to compare nature to theory. There simply must be connections between them.

Just what does this CP violation really mean?

It means what the article says, " Thus one is faced with a choice:". It seems if one can affect the decay then it would seem possible to move back in time or forward in time but until that is achieved we must simply wonder or make a choice and choose to prove.

My (a)symmetrical world.

I would say that the world must be symetrical but at times we have moments of asymmetry since we never are in constant harmony. We strive for harmony (symmetry) in life but as fate would have it we don't always achieve it.

What is the function of gravity?

Basically I would say it is the glue of our universe. It holds together all that is necessary for us to exist in this universe of ours.

How would you compare the four "forces"?

I would compare them to a family. That with out the foundation of the other they would not exist. That they are there for the support of one another. But who knows how extenisve the family is? It could go on for generations?

How has e=mc2 affected you?

It has broadened my perspective on how the tiniest forms of matter can affect myself and the universe around me.

Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?

I feel that the stronger connection you have with your environment and other humans then the stronger you will be connected to them. You will find harmony within the connections.

What eveidence can you find for synchronicity

I recall thinking about making phone call to a specific person and as I was thinking about it they actually called. I have experienced other times but this one is my most memorable experience.

Is the Universe Weird?

I don't think it is weird. I think of it as undiscoverd. Like many things that have come before us and yet to come. We know not a lot about the universe but we have much to discover if we continue to keep wondering and looking for more. We must keep our mind and eyes wide open for future discoveries.

Comments on Causality

I strong feelings about Causality. I think that where there is an effect there must be a cause and can be tracked back to find it. I guess from pervious learning we can see a cause and maybe determine or predict effect. We can not know for certain until we see evidence. I guess I would say I am a strong believer in Causality. We know not from where we come for certain but there must be some Cause for us and our universe and those with us.

Reflections on Uncertainty

I never thought about the world as this before. Uncertainity with a type of certainty. Looking at the world just with an open eye. Not letting other parts interfere and learning new things. I hope to be looking at my existence and others existance with such uncertainty so that I may have an opportunity to see new things.

New discoveries in Physics

just a few interesting things new on the scene:

Response to other blogs

I too feel like others. I have not much knowledge of physics. I have many same opinion as others for time being relative to our current exhistence. I am excited to learn more from calssmate and in class to have better knowledge of this topic.

My reflections on - The Meaning of Time

The Meaning of time?..... Well, I have done a little searching and there are many opinions on the meaning or exhistence of time. This is at times a topic that seems a bit confusing to consider because there are so many different perspectives. I for one feel that time exhists. The earth is slowing down, the sun comes and goes as well as the moon. Our emotions come and go, our bodies rest and expel energy. There must be some form of time. We aproach the limits of each day with divisions of even smaller increments of time division in order to organize and be productive. I read in a blog somewhere else in researching time that one person felt that time didn't exhist. That the majority of the world just exhists and is functioning on the level of the theory of just exhisting. Doing what at the moment is necessary for it to be. Yes, that is what those forms of living things on our planet are desinged to do, but we as beings that have the cognitive abilities to conceptualize are enticed by answering questions which are posed to us that may even have no answer at this time. It is the thing which stimulates us to strive for a broader understanding of what and why we exist here in this moment.

Quiz Week 1

1. What attracts me to the Chinese Medicine?
The thing that most attracts me to Chinese Medcine is the power of miracle. This is a form of thought which allows us to use powers within our own being to have the potential of achieveing things beyond somes abilities of belief. But if one expands their belief then we are capable of those abilities.

2. What do I honestly tink of Physics, really?
I feel that Physics is such a new science that we are in the early stages of our learning knowledge. That we have only just begun to fathom what there is ahead of us in the future. It to like Chinese Medicine requires this ability to think beyound the box. To not limit ourselves of our own natural abilities.

3. Now that I think about it, Have I ever experineced time "slowing doen" or "speeding up"?
When considering the aspects of time slowing down or speeding up I have to relate it to my age. I remember that when a child I thought that time moved so slow. That it would seem like an eternity for just even minutes to pass. Now in my adulthood I find that there doesn't seem to be enough minutes in even the day or hours. Time is some times even relative to the current circumstances of which we are in. Like, at times, we feel like the hour is taking for ever if some action we are doing might be undesirable, but then when having fun time seems to be not enough to be enjoyed. It is hard to equate a complete answer for this. Of course in the reading you stated that the earth is slowing down and that we add time to adjust for this so we have scientific data to confrim this. But I still feel that time is something which is a concept with multiple ideals or conceptions of how it is relative to us at each moment that we experience. Thus, "life flashing before our eyes", "life seemed to have stood still", etc.
