Week 12 post 3

 Combining dualism, people of color did not ask to be placed at a disadvantage, therefore placing all people on their rightful platform of equivalent importance would no doubt increase the advancements of this world immensely. And of course, for a person with white privilege it is much easier to say "black people need to work harder" rather than disturbing your own comfort to fight a problem that is damaging to your fundamental equals. I think in the end, those who submit to the laws of man and ignore the laws of nature [that point to a supreme understanding of love and kindness and equality] will end up suffering the most. As C.S. lewis said: 

           “The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are purely spiritual: the pleasure of putting other people in the wrong, of bossing and patronising and spoiling sport, and back-biting, the pleasures of power, of hatred.”

What are more ways I can make physics analogies to absurd ideas about social injustices? Are people inherently bad? I choose to believe people are good but some evil exists that is more abstract than the christian satan and infiltrates us. This BBC articles tries to trace the evolutionary origins of evil: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160401-how-did-evil-evolve-and-why-did-it-persist

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...
