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.

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.
