Week 10 post 3

 I think it is really interesting that the Church was so reluctant to abandon the very egocentric world view with the earth carrying the humans in the center of the universe.  I also love that I learned about deductive and inductive reasoning. I always knew that religion and science were similar in that they could not always define reality to its full extent (there is still room for error) although science is still more deductive than religion as it gives more logical explanation to natural phenomena. 

What are more examples of scientific methodology and its religious parallels? Is that a sandwich?!  I have always been interested in the idea that if there was infinite knowledge, that would prove how little we know about reality in knowing that anything divided by infinity would be zero. But of course we can't prove infinity and we dont know if there is infinite knowledge!!!! also why does pee come out of the nipples?

    Why do you think churches focus so much on "one way is the right way"?

Something that every human can appreciate is beauty, and beauty is generally associated with goodness. It is a mystery why we find some things beautiful and others not, but regardless w are programed to recognize it for our survival. In specific, one common quality of beauty is symmetry seeing that it cues good health and prosperity. In addition, t here is overwhelming evidence that beauty improves cognitive and physical health. An experiment involving artwork was conducted where people were asked to observe sets of two very similar paintings and report which one they felt was more beautiful and meaningful. The difference in the paintings was that one was painted with intent and the other was an unoriginal imitation. A majority of the time, people chose the painting that was full of intent as the more beautiful one. Furthermore, beauty cultivates positive emotions, and even better health. For example when meaningful art is placed hospitals, patients report feeling happier, more comfort...

 Amid all of this political tension, there is so much denial surrounding social injustices. One of which being unequal opportunities. Not only do people not accept that systemic racism is still extremely prevalent in the United States, they don't understand why "hard work" is not a reasonable answer to the problem.  In electromagnetism, photons vibrate at different frequencies which result in unique energies. This ranges from x-rays, radio waves, ultraviolet light, visible light, gamma rays and so forth. A higher frequency a photon has, the more energy it carries. Take visible light for example:  Red is the color with the greatest wavelength, lowest frequency and therefore lowest in energy. Purple on the other hand has the shortest wavelength, highest frequency and this greatest energy. You can compare this to a person with privilege and a person with a disadvantage- In this country it is safe to compare the color red to someone with white privilege and purple to a person...

Week 1 - Post 3

The speed of light amazes me- not the actual velocity but what it represents. Why is it that 300,000,000m/s is the speed that an object with mass would approach an infinite mass? There must be something supremely significant about electromagnetic energy and its properties.  What happens when you go faster than the speed of light, would you time travel? And would bodies approaching the speed of light theoretically become singular since you decrease in apparent length the quicker you move? I also want to learn more about orientation in space. Because space is a vacuum and there is no "up, down, right, left, back, and forth. For most people if you ask them to represent gravity they might suggest a trampoline with a heavy object in the middle that constitutes space time and any celestial body. But with earths force of gravity already in effect, how is this a rational paradigm?  In my previous blog I talked about how electromagnetism is very powerful energy. It needs no medium to t...
