Week 2 What Conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography?

I think the concept of Kirlian photography is very interesting. Although I do not fully believe that this technique is 100% valid. I agree with portion of the article that states an objects aura should disappear when an organism dies. Lastly I do find it highly fascinating that this technique has been used in the detection of cancer at a sporadic rate.

Week 2 Acupuncture as effective energy medicine

Acupuncture is effective energy medicine because it focuses on qi. Which is a form of energy. There are many forms of qi in the human body. Acupuncturist place needles in specific points on the body to restore the proper flow of energy.  I think acupuncture is valid and effective form of energy medicine.

Week 1 My thoughts on tonights discussion.

One of the topics that caught my attention in tonight's discussion was about how to decide if people are conscious or not. I found the research interesting because the researcher used electroencephalograms to conduct the research. Electroencephalograms are traditionally one of the main test used to detect epilepsy and other disorder in the brain. The result the researchers found from the experiment varied because some people had little to no response to the test but later appeared to be fully conscious.

Week 1 I Know I'm a "living system" because...

I know that I am living system because I have the ability to move. I am composed of cells. I also met the criteria that defines living vs non living systems. Lastly I have that ability to reproduce.

Week 9 Synthesizing Physics - " As above, so below"?

It is very difficult to synthesize the eastern view and western view of physics. The eastern approach to physics in my opinion is similar to classical physics. The current western view of physics is more relative to modern physics.

Week 9 My E-prime Day

Today seemed good. I attended physics class at 5:30pm. My professor Larry spears appeared cheerful. Larry gave a good lecture. I liked Larry's lecture. I always enjoy attending classes at ACCHS.

Week 8 Descrates has a lot to answer for!

I agree Descrates does have a lot answer for. He is responsible for spawning a lot of bad ideas. I am really glad that reductionism is no longer in existence.  I am happy that science and physics has evolved since then and people have a better understanding of how things work.

Week 8 Our "Energy Efficient" Culture

I think our culture is becoming more energy efficient because we are destroying our planet and using up our natural resources. People are realizing we are destroying the planet and the future generations will need place to live. Most people are wasteful and feel that they need to drive everywhere and aren't aware that packaging of the product they are purchasing is going to end up in land fill.

Week 8 Newton's three Laws and Me.

I agree with Newton's three laws and I feel that they apply to me. For example Newtons first law of motion states an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If I'm at rest in a chair I will remain there until someone exerts force or energy to move me. The other option I could use my own energy to move myself. If I walking I will continue to walk until something stops me or I stop using my own energy to move myself.
