Week one Assignments

  • My Bio: The names Ashlynn Feltz, and I've been on this earth for 25 years. I am originally from Wisconsin, but left at 21 for my first major backpacking trip. My first voyage out of this country was India, where I ended up staying for 6 months. I also have been to Thailand and China. China was my most recent trip. I have been a Massage therapist for 5 years and am blessed to have my own private practice in Sonoma. I am a lover of learning, helping others, the outdoors, yoga, taichi, qigong, meditation, laughing, dancing, tea ceremonies, and deep conversations. I am excited to learn and grow in mind, body, and spirit with my new career to come. 😊
  • The Meaning of time:  
- Can We Slow Time Down?
    Whenever I think of slowing down time or speeding up time, I think of Einstein's theory of relativity. Time can be slowed down with time dilation. Time dilation can only occur when moving forward in time and not backward. As a humans speed increases, then time will slow down in order to keep the difference between the speed of light and the person's speeds.

-Reflections on this week's class- The Meaning of Time:
    I found this weeks class very engaging for a few reasons. We discussed the concept of time slowing down or speeding up, and it seemed that everyone in the class has experienced both of those sensations with time. In most peoples minds time is a very set thing. We are taught we have 24 hours in a day and each hour can be broken down into 60min. Even with this logical structure of time, based on people's experiences time almost seems like it has some flexibility within one's perception of it. Another topic discussed was black holes and how light nor time can escape it's vacuum to nothingness. Also is time ever changing because the universe is expanding?
    The topic of time creates so many questions, which is why I found it so engaging.

Week 7: Chaos Theory

1. "Ordered Chao": does this sound familiar? It sounds familiar from class and also i've heard this a time or two in this lifetime. When I think of Ordered Chaos... I think of something happening within some type of pattern, or frame. Which adds some logic and structure to the Chaotic or disordered event or situation. I've heard someone describes a piece of artwork as Ordered Chao's. Which contains a level of creative randomness that makes sense.  2. Fractals as patterns of complex systems No matter how much a piece of cauliflower is broken apart it will always look the same. It doesn't matter how many fractions it's broken into, it still looks like the pattern of cauliflower. This is an example that was given in class. No matter how many times something is broken apart, no matter how small of a fraction it becomes compared to the whole. It still contains the same identity and structure. 3. consciousness out of chaos? Consciousness finds ways of...

Midterm Paper- Time: East vs West

Each culture in the world views time differently. In western culture, time is perceived to be more linear. In America time is valuable on a financial level. Anyone in the western business world typically believes that time is money. Also in the western business world, they believe that making quick decisions is important. If a decision isn’t made right away then time is being wasted and so is their money. Westerns are not as careful with considering how it may affect the future and what mistakes have been made in the past. For the westerns its efficiency they value. Time is closely related to life, money, and efficiency. Westerns don’t view the lessons of the past like the Chinese do, they determine how the past lessons were by how the present situation is. The west very much values the present. While in the Eastern world time is viewed not linear but cyclic. Time is precious and the world has an abundance of it, with this abundance allows them to wait for the perfect time. Every d...

Week-4 Energy, Matter and the Four Forces

How has e=mc^2 affected you? This formula has caused me stress while using it chemistry.  This formula shows that all matter contains energy. Even the smallest particle contains mass, which is energy. Everything around us is energy. All of these energetic products are directly influencing one another. I am energy and I am made up of energy...I am an energetic being. So his formula affects everything that happens to me internally and externally at all times.  How would you compare the four forces? Weakest to->>>>>>> greatest force gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force the forces interact with one another to great things such as the grand unified theory. Where the weak and strong nuclear force comes together like a magnet. All of these forces are separate but they work together to create one great force or many great forces at a team.  What is the function of gravity?  "Gravitation i...
