Thoughts
24
There
may be more theories of gravity but I am aware of only two. One is
from Isaac Newton where all bodies (mass) attract one another. In
Thoughts 22, I talked about the galaxy clusters revolving around
there center of mass. Our solar system revolves around a star that is
its center of mass. The moon revolves around Earth. The gravity of
all the objects within our solar system have an affect on each other
the same as the galaxies in a clusters affect each other. The second
is from Albert Einstein where mass warps the fabric of space/time.
Both are correct. Remember, we are trying to understand by setting up
standards because of our limited intellect, so even though they are
different they are legitimate. This brings us back again to the idea
that everything is connected, at least on a large (solar, galactic,
cosmic) scale.
If
I remember correctly, I spoke of the four forces of nature in an
earlier post; gravity, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force and
electromagnetism. At one time electromagnetism was considered two
separate forces. The strong and weak nuclear forces are what holds
the different subatomic particles together. Among other things,
electromagnetism is what bonds atoms together to make molecules.
Everything
is connected, gravity for the macrocosm and the other three forces
for the microcosm. What about human size? Dr. Carl Jung spoke of a
“collective unconscious.” Being gregarious a collective
consciousness makes sense to me. We tend to band together in like
minded groups. My father told me that the people I am associated with
will have an effect on me. With time (I like time better than old
age) I have found that to be true for me and the people I have had
the privilege to observe. I want to fit in, so even if I am
different, I slowly start to become like those I am around; speech,
beliefs, actions, etc. A “collective consciousness” could be each
group of like minded people interacting with other groups affecting
this Earth in many ways. Whether or not there is a collective
unconscious, I don't know. It seems to me a collective unconscious
would have to have a physical connection between people. Like
a thought is one thing and two (material: electro-chemical and
non-material: idea). Personal
experience with the deaths of loved ones shows me the possibility of
such a connection.
One
morning while driving to school, I heard on the radio that day was
the birthday of Paul Robeson. The broadcast told of Robeson saying
that different but in some ways similar music was evolving in Africa
as was being written by the European masters in coinciding times. I
new that the European composers sometimes started with songs from the
common people. We
were studying harmonics (physics) at the time and the thought of the
collective unconscious with everything vibrating combined. If (a
large if) all the above were true, would it be possible to study
human behavior through harmonics.
My
style has been rambling. I started with a different ending in mind. I am
very tired. I will stop.
