Physics Week Six: Vibrations

Are all vibrations “good”?

Depends on who you ask. The vibrations of an earthquake seem like a bad thing to us, but Mama Earth is going to shed her tension whether it benefits us or not. For her its good, for us it is terrifying. I think her needs and timescale trump ours so does that mean her good trumps our pain?

Resonance in my world

This makes me think most about people I resonate with and what makes someone so easy to get a long with. I've had several experiences of being at parties or events, not particularly talking to anyone outside of the group that I was with, and then I turn to talk to a random person and find out they are from my home town/region. Is it just coincidence that I would find someone in the Bay (not too far from home) who went to my high school or grew up in a nearby town, or is there something about people from the Central Valley that just call to me?

Connections I can make between Energy and Qi

Music is one of the most powerful expressions for me, something that moves me, empowers me, brings me happiness. I think of how the vibrations of sound at a house show or concert fill up the crowd, getting under our skin, moving people to dance or fight or flirt. Its clearly not just our ears experiencing the sound. The article "Is Energy a Dirty Word?" proposes the idea that cerebro-spinal fluid may express itself throughout our fascia as a qi-circulating system. I think this articulates a lot of what is felt when a person gets caught up in listening to music. Its an energy that feeds the soul.
