My E-Prime Day
I think I woke up at what is considered 9 in the morning to the residents of California. I then walked from my bed to the room where there is a toilet, sink, and bathtub. I picked up an instrument that is named a toothbrush to the western world, and I used it to clean my teeth. I thought that it would be a wise decision to clean my laundry, so I proceeded to do so. I then thought it would be a good idea to grab a pan and cook food from the refrigerator while I waited for the laundry machine to be done completely with my clothes. After all of this, I got a few books from my classes and read them while taking notes.
[Oh dear, this is horrible E-prime. And a lot tougher than I thought it'd be!]
How might you synthesize eastern and western ideas in Physics?
I think it's an interesting how we're constantly comparing eastern and western ideas in every way, so of course physics wouldn't be an exception. I think using the science of western ideas and the philosophical eastern ideas with physics would be a good way to further compare the two. Overall, I think it's a complex idea...but not impossible to do (for someone of a higher caliber, of course).
It is difficult and complex task of trying to define and explain acupuncture using a western model. There are a great number of different philosophies trying to explain the nature of reality. But all that is still just words and language. The very first sentence of the Tao Te Ching says it all. The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao.
