Physics ~ Week 4

 

e=mc2 🌞

This brilliant little equation gives us a way to grasp the enormous amount of energy at play all around us, even in the tiniest of molecules. What limitless potential there seems to be when viewing the world through this lens. To me though, the equation is just giving a name to what already exists. I feel as if it’s the phenomena that it describes that have affected me, rather than the equation itself. Speaking of which, it will now always remind me of sunshine, and the radiance of the sun // potential for life. On a collective level, this equation helped to develop nuclear energy and weapons. In that way, the equation has changed the course of the world and therefore affected us all.

the four forces 🌀

Gravity draws us to the earth, Gravity pulls the tides. It is the easiest to see and to grasp, it feels like the bulkiest force, yet is also the weakest. Our bodies contain electromagnetic force fields, as do electronics, magnets, chemical bonds, and basically anything held together or apart by charges. Strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together. Weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay, making carbon dating possible.

the function of gravity 🌓

Gravity is fundamental to our cyclical nature. It is intrinsic to our connection with source, and understanding of the world.
