Would you support the development of a “bionic” person?
Personally, no.
But I feel that if other people wants to develop that, who am I to judge?
How would you rate “the control of artificial limbs by thought alone”?
Never tried it. Can't say for sure...
Maybe they would even make mental remote control for TVs some day. That would take the couch-potato TV-surfing to the next level!

Physics--Week11: Energy Medicine and Energy Fields
Acupuncture as effective energy medicine
Acupuncture can be effective medicine, when practiced by the "right" person, in the "right" state-of-mind, i.e. a practitioner who is present, centered, has good rapport with the patient, and can inspire confidence. I think how effective a treatment is depends very much on the practitioner-patient interaction. Sometimes this factor can be even more important than the healing modality chosen.
Is Acupuncture energy medicine? Well, if everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, and all interactions between objects will have some sort of energy exchange/ influence on each other, then what is not energy medicine?
What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography?
I was amazed that it seems to be quite true of a reflection of my state when my photo was taken.
I think I've heard similar conclusions (as in the interpretation of my Kirlian photo) drawn from other healers/ psychics. Somehow seeing it visualized on my image (the kirlian photo and also the computer print-outs) seems more "real". Maybe that's because it seems that the computer couldn't have been reading me through an emotional filter or it's own baggage...Or maybe that's just the visual artist in me.
Human intent as it affects health
If every thought and intent is qi flowing towards certain direction or has its own distinct frequency/vibrations, and everything in the universe including our physical being is made up of frequencies, it is not hard to understand that human intent can indeed affect our health.

Physics-- Week 10--Life and Living Systems
I know I’m a “living system” because…….
There are autopoietic processes going on in my body. My cells/ blood/ tissues are periodically dying, regenerated. I inhale and exhale. I eat and poop....(yeah, you get the picture?)
Does that qualify for being a "living system"? Technically speaking I think so.
More importantly, what really made me feel alive is that I am always growing, learning (and unlearning) and I can feel a sense of constant renewal in all aspects of my life.
Then again, what goes on physiologically can't really be separated from the mental aspects. It's all a continuum.
Biophysics and Oriental Medicine
Chinese medicine and modern western science are founded on different world views. They are very different paradigms. Current researches into CM by western scientists use Western science methodology and criteria. By imposing that on a study on Chinese medicine, it is already biased before the study begins.
Biophysics and CM do have lots of parallels and sometimes seems to arrive at the same conclusion, though using different languages. What's interesting about biophysics is that it seems to relate the microcosm to the macrocosm, which is what Chinese medicine has been doing for thousands of years.

Physics Week 9 (Synthesis)
My E-Prime Day - describe your day, only using English Prime
Yesterday morning, I woke up at 6am, did some stretching movements I learned from my yoga classes, then I played my guitar for approx. 30 min. , I took a shower, answered some work emails, talked on the phone with someone I had been friends with since 7th grade. Then I left for school at 8:37am, according to my clock.
I thought: it's nice to get up early in the morning! I should make it a habit. However, by early afternoon during my class, my eyes started to get heavy. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep.
Every minute seemed to get longer. My mind started wandering...until break time came, I tried to energize myself by going out to get a sweet/spicy/milky caffeinated tan color concoction called Chai. But I think it was also walking and breathing what I hoped was fresh air that woke me up. Anyway, after that I managed to stay awake and aware throughout class afterwards.
Can I synthesize East and West?
As globalization takes place more and more, a lot of cultures have become more westernized and more people in the West are interested in eastern ideas (Like this class and my wonderfully open-minded classmates). I think no matter how much East and West synthesized, there will always be some cultural differences, esp. because of the language issue. A lot of great thinks think that how we embrace the world is reflected/influenced by our language. As long as there are linguistic differences, there will be cultural differences.
The Bay Area is such a hotbed of east-west syntheses and it is exciting to be part of it. At the same time, it is good to really understand different cultures more deeply; so when they synthesize something, it's coming from a deeper place, instead of just synthesizing from the surfaces of different cultures.

Physics Week 8 (Classical Physics)
Newton's Three Laws and me
As much as modern physics theories make classical physics look static, outdated, Newton's 3 Laws still hold true (partially anyway) and remains practical in our daily lives. As multidimensional as our world is, modern and classical physics theory can coexist peacefully.
The Newton's Thirld Law of Motion resonates with me most.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I especially notice that law when I practice yoga asanas. For example if I raise my hands above my head, trying to reach higher, weirdly enough, the best way is to press my feet more firmly into the ground.
And that, I can apply directly to my daily life. For everything that I do, the higher I want to reach, the firmly grounded I should be.
Oh didn't the Tao Te Ching says: "To go far is to return..."
Our “Energy Efficient” Culture
You mean "our-always-attempting-to-be-energy-efficient" culture?
The more energy-efficient we try to be, the more energy we waste. Better to just not waste our effort, save our energy for things that are really important to us. Who was that that said, "Our life is flittered by detail"?
Descartes has a lot to answer for!
Although Descartes was "credited" as the one who first popularized the idea of the separation of the mind and the physical body, history has shown that this idea was floating about as early as ancient Greece. Plato was one of the philosophers who suggested the soul-body dichotomy.
Like other thinkers, Descartes' thinking reflected the culture and social-political climate of his time.
Like most "smart" people, he was in his head way too much, and he was taking himself a little too seriously.

Physics Week 7 (Chaos Theory)
ordered chaos, consciousness
"Chaos Theory" seems to be a misnomer, since it is abut finding underlying order in apparently random data.
Life is the same. Everything is pattern. Nothing really is random. For example, in my 20s, I would complain about how things "happen" to me or maybe I just didn't have certain luck like some people do. Then, the older I get, the more I see that the reason the same kind of things always "happen" to me is because of my pattern of thinking/way of being.
Fractals as patterns of complex systems
Found this article that relates patterns in fractal and music.
The interesting thing is that the seemingly complex fractals are actually based on fairly simple math formulas. It is the iterative pattern that made them look complex.
Reminded me of jazz music. Before, when I listened to jazz musician improvise, I was always surprised by what they could do spontaneously, thne I tlaked to musicians who told me how jazz musicians often know music theory well, and often they are just doing variations of a certain scale or chord progressions. Again, patterns!
cool experiment
Looking at myself in a fork and see the distort image flip...I haven't looked at myself this closely in a long time. Reminded me of these self-portraits in spoons we had to do in drawing classes.

Physics--Week6 (vibrations)
Are all vibrations "good"?
There are good vibes, and bad vibes....seriously. The image I think of a graph of waves. The good vibes will have smooth even curves. The bad vibes have jagged edges, uneven...
Resonance in my world
So this week's topic, vibrations, certainly resonate with me. I just started to learn to play the guitar 2 weeks ago and am very interested in exploring further the concept and applications of sonic healing.
In 1665, Dutch scientist Christian Huygens found that 2 pendulum clocks mounted side by side on the same wall gradually come to swing at the same rate. One pendulum is said to "entrain" the other to its frequency.
Another example of entrainment would be 2 tuning forks with the same pitch are placed side-by-side. When one is struck, the other will begin to vibrate as well.
We experience entrainment in our daily lives as well. For example, a group of women who spend a lot of time together on a daily basis will be likely to find their menstrual period syncing up.
Connections I can make between Energy and Qi
The word energy can mean so many things to many people!
Following the discussion we had in class, I think energy can be seen as a manifestation of Qi, or it is one aspect of Qi.

Physics--Week 5 (Symmetry and Sacred Geometry)
My (a)symmetrical world
If there is gain, there must be loss,
if there is pleasure, there must be pain,
if there is happiness, there must be unhappiness
if there is matter, there must be anti-matter.
if there is symmetry, there must be asymmetry.
Such is the nature of duality.
CP violation
From wikipedia:
"It plays an important role both in the attempts of cosmology to explain the dominance of matter over antimatter in the present Universe, and in the study of weak interactions in particle physics."
It seems to explain asymmetry. The question is, how long would this asymmetrical dominance of matter over antimatter last?
I think this is only temporary.
Sacred Geometry
A lot of sacred geometries we find in nature are the shape they are because it is simply the most efficient in energy transfer, or the most stable structure. There is hardly any waste in nature. Human beings alone seems to be the only wasteful species, constantly spending energy on things that's not really productive, while convincing themselves that what they are doing is necessary, when in fact it is just wasted energy... like our current "10 fossil fuel calorie input --> 1 food calorie output" agriculture model...or, waging wars on each other,..or crying over spilled milk... or multitasking (which some people now says is actually counter-productive)
A qigong teacher told me the best way to "increase" your qi is not to waste qi in the first place. Duh!
Much to learn from Nature.

Physics--Week 4
e=mc(squared)
So, matter and energy is really the same thing--just in different forms. Wow!
I think that's explains why in Chinese medicine, if you have, for example, Qi stagnation (energy) can eventually lead to blood stasis--which can manifests physically as tumor etc. (matter)
How would you compare the four “forces”?
I have to admit, trying to understand these things scientifically really makes my head spin. I'll give it a try here.
Strong Force is very strong, but very short-ranged. It is responsible for holding the nuclei of atoms together.
Weak Force is responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interaction. It has short range and is weak.
Electromagnetic force causes electric and magnetic effects such as repulsion/attraction of different ends of magnets. It's long-ranged, but much weaker than the strong force.
Gravitational force is weak, but very long-ranged. It is always attractive. And importantly, it acts between any 2 objects in the universe.
What is the function of gravity?
I think the the following quote explains gravity beautifully. If gravity is a force of attraction that acts between each of every particle in the Universe, then that sounds like a scientific explanations (one of them anyway) that really, we are all connected.
"Gravitation is a force of attraction that acts between each and every particle in the Universe. It is always attractive, never repulsive. It pulls matter together, causes you to have a weight, apples to fall from trees, keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth, the planets confined in their orbits around the Sun, and binds together galaxies in clusters."
I think gravity is a good way to keep us grounded. Great for us spacey, airy folks!

Physics--Week 3
What evidence can you find for synchronicity?
A while ago, I started noticing that very often, when I read a quote for the first time and it really stayed with me, within days, I will see the same quote at some random place. It's as if the universe wants to send me a message, and thinking that I may not really get it, so it sends the message repeatedly.
One such message is a quote from Goethe (which happens to be related to synchronicity):
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
--Goethe
Based on what you know, how would you explain connectivity?
Is connectivity something that can be explained? Or just something to be felt?
"Based on what I know"...what do I know? I feel that we are all connected somehow, and in a holographic universe, we are all reflections of each other, or we are all fragments of that which that illuminates everything.

Physics--Week 2
My reflection on Uncertainty
We need to accept uncertainty as part of life. Even within certainty, there is uncertainty. For example, we will all die one day, that's a certainty. But when and how, that's an uncertainty. As long as we can accept uncertainty as part of life, we will then less obsessed about trying to figure out how exactly will things turn out, or how our decisions will impact our future.
It can indeed turn into a neurosis if someone uses "uncertainty" as an excuse in life to shy away from any commitments, because, well, "who knows what will happen in the future anyway"
I think it is important to just stay present. Not that I do that all the time :-)
On Causality
Causality seems to only matter when time really is linear. i.e. our action in the past affected our situation at present, and our action now affect our situation in the future. However, if time doesn't progress in a linear manner, and the line drawn between past and future gets blurry, can we be so sure then what is the cause and what is effect?
Is the Universe Weird?
The universe has its own funny ways of working. I hope I can enjoy the mystery instead of always trying to figure it all out.

Physics East & West (Week1)
What attracts me to Chinese Medicine
More than just a way of disease fighting system, Chinese Medicine stems from a cosmology that draws connections of the human health to environmental qi, diet, lifestyle. It is a way of life.
What do I think of Physics, really?
Ever since I learned about quantum physics, superstring theory etc, I have been fascinated about it. I recommend the movie: The Elegant Universe. Also, the book I mentioned in class is Holographic Universe. Great book. It shifted my worldview completely. The world seems less solid, concrete, but at the same time, much more interesting. I am particularly interested in the similarities betwwen Ancient Eastern Philosophies and Modern Physics.
Experience of time "slowing Down" or "speeding up":
Yes! In addition to motion-sick experience I talked about in class, I also think about how someone told me when I was a teenager that "A child thinks that one day is short and one year is long. An adult thinks that one day is long and one year is short." At one point in my adult life (primarily when I was working full-time in a job I didn't like), I understood what it means. That was a good motivation for me to change career. :-)
