Into The Rabbit Hole

Yes. Yes, I do.

Scientists amaze me.

It’s not like they’re some sort of geniuses (though they are intelligent); rather it seems to me that the scientists who made the most dramatic impact on the world as we now know it were simply curious people who preferred to think outside of the box that we are told is reality as we know it. This frame of character which gives a person enough confidence to explore their own thoughts and theories is something I aspire to have.

Scientists, researchers, and doctors epitomize this very confidence in their own ability to successfully think over and postulate solutions to problems set before them. These are the characteristics I want for myself. The ability to problem solve. Honestly I don’t think these physicists and chemists and other scientists are really all that special. They’re not any smarter than the rest (that’s obviously negotiable– perhaps I should re-state that as they’re not any smarter than ME); again it comes down to having the curiousity to explain the inexplicable and the confidence to theorize and lay out experiments to test their theories.

Could I become the next great quantum physicist? The answer is absolutely YES. Do I necessarily want to? Not likely. I want to help and heal in a more intimate way.

However…. I find this stuff faaaascinating: When any wave (for example light or x-ray) hits a regular array of ridges, grooves, atoms, or ions, diffraction occurs. Diffraction is the breaking up or scattering of the different wavelengths, as in how a prizm scatters/ breaks up the different visible colors of wavelengths into a rainbow. X-rays and electron waves can diffract off of molecules and crystals. The regular array of ridges, grooves, atoms, or ions create diffraction patterns, which can be detected as dark or bright spots on a photographic plate. These patterns can often look very symmetric, as in a snowflake.

So I was thinkin…. Could there be a connection between the patterns that we ‘reflect’ in this planet system as a ‘gigantic’ diffraction pattern of the wave energy in the universe???
