Week 2: Quantum Mechanics

Uncertainty

Very mind blowing or curious or confusing I guess is what I would say. I am uncertain...It was very strange to think that you can be uncertain about what a thing is or even that the thing can be more than one thing at a time. That's bizarre. It must have been such a trip for Heisenberg to discover the Uncertainty Principle. I don't really know what to say about it, though I also am willing to accept it as true. That seems strange too.

Causality

This one inspires me. It shows that we can exert influence over our surroundings and vice versa. I read a book called "the Miracle of Water" where a Japanese scientist gave different intentions to different beakers of water using labels or music, etc. and then froze the water to see how the water crystals turned out. He found that certain beakers with positive messages like the word "love" or "beautiful" written on them made the most beautiful crystals, and the opposite effect was found for negative messages. I don't know if these experiments have been repeated by others but the findings, if true, are very powerful. We are made mostly of water and I think that if we stay positive and surround ourselves with loving people, it doesn't just make us happier, but it could also change us on a molecular level.

Is the Universe weird?

Yes. But I would add the words "really frikken". It seems like the more I know the weirder it gets.

  1. I have seen the pictures from the study done to water and it is amazing. you should check out cymatics. I think its pretty much what you are talking about. here's a link to the wikipedia definition...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymatics

    something to think about is that the Tantricks and buddhists both use sacred sounds to alter the physical and psychological realms in their practice. sound healing has a long history and it resonates (pun intended) with what you are saying. vibration set to certain pitches and lengths have been used in many spiritual practices...look into it, it goes deep...
