<description><![CDATA[ <br />Too many times when someone thinks about color, their attention goes to old and common favorites such as blue or pink or green. When some say blue, they mean light blue or sky blue or cornflower blue. Saying pink could mean anything from pale rose to hot pink. And green is even more difficult to describe between bright green, grass green, aquamarine greens or greens that are actually blues. With home computers, printers and digital photography continually increasing in use, becoming more precise with color definitions is proving to be more necessary than ever before.<br /><br />  <br />The CMYK Model<br /><br />One of the best places to start when trying to understand the color spectrum is with the CMYK color model which is composed of cyan that is a bluish green, magenta which is a purplish red, yellow that is a medium yellow and  key which is black. The CMYK color model is newer to the industry compared to the more traditional RGB, or red, green, blue model. Just as it is difficult for a person to communicate what shade of blue they are talking about, it is also difficult for someone in the printing business to replicate an exact image in the same shades of color as the original version they may be attempting to copy. By using an industry standard such as the CMYK color model, better consistency in color representations can be made. <br />In the printing industry, all colors in the spectrum can be created with a blend from cyan, magenta, yellow or black. Many people believe that when the color black is used in personal printers or even some commercial printers, that it is strictly the black ink cartridge when in fact, a richer black can be created from the other three colors in the model in addition to using key. <br /><br /><br />Color Origins<br /><br />By understanding the origin of a color, often it becomes easier to separate the color families and more accurately describe a specific color. The colors magenta and fuchsia are two good examples of colors whose origin is important to their description. Magenta and fuchsia are often used interchangeably to describe a bright, vibrant pink. However, magenta actually contains more purple pigment than fuchsia, making fuchsia more brilliant of the two. Fuchsia is also a plant found within nature that provides a dye known as fuchsine that is actually used to create magenta. <br />There are several colors with names that are also found in nature such as the color orange or indigo. Many colors have originated within nature and have been given their names accordingly. Finding colors in their natural environment and attempting to replicate their vibrance, depth and richness is nearly impossible, but by creating color models and theories, we can come close. <br />There are many great technologies available to help carefully match colors but if there is little understanding about what will create the best color, the results of any color project are likely to be less than what you may have expected. Learning that it is often easier to add a color to white to get the best blend rather than adding the white to the color can save time and money with the amount of paint involved. Using brown shades to get a deeper red can sometimes be far better than mixing black. Learning about the precise difference between color shades along with how they are each blended together is a valuable attribute for anyone, whether they are a professional photographer or merely trying to paint a room or two in their home.<br /><br />To find out more about all the colors you can visit <a href="http://colortribe.com/">Colortribe</a><br /><br />--<br />Expert about colors.

<description><![CDATA[ As a modern civilization there is much we take for granted. Highways, bridges, world-class airports, reliable and cheap flights, clean water… the list goes on. We forget that we are in fact only dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants, as Sir Isaac Newton once said. The evolution of our intellectual pursuits is the result of understanding the research and works of notable thinkers of the past. The same goes for the engineering marvels which were created based on this research.<br /><br />Flight and flying have fascinated human beings since the beginning of time. Nearly all ancient cultures contain myths about flying deities. Imposing wings are found in portrayals of the gods of ancient Egypt, Minoa, and Mesopotamia. Angels, interestingly enough, were not necessarily shown to have wings until the Middle Ages. Winged flight was seen as being the privilege of the gods and men who donned wings were thought to be arrogant in their quest for flight. The famous Greek legend of Daedalus and Icarus carries a clear warning - arrogance shall quite literally come before a fall.<br /><br />All these dire warnings did nothing to deter humankind from experimenting though. Bird flight was researched avidly, but a clear understanding of the mechanisms behind it was not achieved until the 20th century. Passion defeated by reality was a lesson that would-be aeronauts would learn repeatedly throughout the centuries, often at a high price. Imagination was in no short supply and many a fellow met his end jumping from high buildings and mountains strapped into ill-advised home-made contraptions of wire and feathers.<br /><br />Leonardo Da Vinci, the celebrated 15th century artist and scientist, left over 500 pages of drawings and research showing a developing understanding of the mechanics of flight. His involved study of the structure of birds’ wings led him to understand that that human form was not capable of birdlike flight, but he designed many ornithopters that required simultaneous pedalling of arms and feet. Inspired by the principle of the Archimedean Screw, a device known since antiquity and used to transport water uphill, he proceeded to draught an elemental proto-helicopter that used a wide screw to lift itself into the air. But since power would still have to be supplied to the contraption by a human being, it was a hopeless endeavour.<br /><br />Let’s skip over all the fruitless endeavours of subsequent centuries and get down to the lads who got it right – the brothers Wright. Orville and Wilbur Wright had many aspiring engineer-inventor fellows who worked through multiple failures. The Wright brothers were inspired by the glider experiments of the German Otto Lilienthal and the Scottish engineer Percy Pilcher. December 17 1903 saw their 750-pound plane launch from a railroad track at less than seven miles per hour, attaining an altitude of perhaps ten feet, and landing after 120 feet. With this, heavier than air, fixed-wing powered aircraft suddenly became a very real possibility.<br /><br />Military requirements played a large role in the subsequent development of airplanes. Emerging from the war with tremendous manufacturing capacity and engineering talent, the Douglas, Boeing, and Lockheed companies dominated the commercial aircraft industry.<br /><br />And the rest, as they say is history. So, next time you board your cheap flight east take a second to think about all the achievements of the men that went before us and left us with the knowledge to build these powerful flying machines.<br /><br /><br />--<br />I have been considering <a href=" http://www.flights4less.co.za/">cheap flights east</a> and came across some interesting <a href=" http://www.flights4less.co.za/">airways cheap flights</a> websites.<br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<title>Processes Involved In Blavatsky’s Writings and its effects</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural. All fall within natural law, once the operator has developed the faculties to use them. It is obvious that HPB’s writings as just enumerated are proof of this; her literary works with several thousands of references could not have been produced by ordinary means.<br /><br />Descriptive Writing: This is the conventional method of authorship with the added dimension of one who writes from the standpoint of Occultism. <br /><br />Writing by Instruction: Here the writing is under instruction and supervision from her Adept Master in fulfillment of her task as the messenger in bringing the teachings of the Perennial Philosophy to the Western world.<br /><br />Writing by Dictation: Writing by virtue of the capacity to be in perfect mutual psycho-magnetic rapport with an Adept in Occult Sciences, whereupon thought transference and dictation of whole pages becomes possible since space and distance, as such, do not exist for thought.<br /><br />Writing by Directive Clairvoyance: This is the faculty of being able to select a book on a specific theme although never having physically seen the volume before; then, from any page in the work; then to choose an appropriate passage on a pre-determined subject; then having selected a citation, the ability to copy it verbatim, and give its correct page; moreover to support this citation by quoting another author, an extract from another book would be required in a similar manner. HPB was taught this Siddhi by her Teachers during her exacting training period in Tibet.<br /><br />Writing by Psychometry: This involves the faculty whereby a sensitive person can receive from any object held in the hand or against the forehead impressions of the character or appearance of the individual, or any other object with which it has previously been in contact. Thus a manuscript, painting or item of jewelry, no matter how ancient, will convey to the sensitive a vivid picture of the writer, painter or wearer.<br /><br />Writing by Precipitation: This signifies the materialization of the message on paper or other substance (the Mahatma Letters were received in this way as well).<br /><br />Writing by a process Analogous to Tulku: Difficult to explain as there is no English word equivalent to the Tibetan, broadly speaking this involves the Siddhi of being able to project one’s consciousness by means of an illusory vehicle or body.<br /><br />Chief Fields Of Research Spurred By Blavatsky’s Writings on Occult science and Meta Physics<br /><br />The revelation of hitherto guarded facts about the inner workings of nature has spurred major research in a number of areas in science. As HPB tells us, the truths inspired to such as Kepler, Leibnitz, Gassendi and Swedenborg have never found a fair hearing. But now science is beginning to take note. Indeed the Mahatmas have affirmed that ‘modern science is [becoming] our best ally’.<br />There are two broad areas where science and Theosophy can supplement one another: natural science, and life science. <br /><br />Matter and Light<br /><br />It is interesting how closely the latest experiments and theories in quantum physics on the nature of light and matter appear to mirror the fundamental esoteric tenets, chiefly regarding the role of consciousness. <br /><br />Cosmology<br /><br />Big bang theories in cosmology have remained virtually unchallenged for over a decade, but scientists are now beginning to realize the limitations of this model chiefly regarding the exclusion of intelligence from the scheme, and the question about pre-big bang events. <br /><br />Consciousness<br /><br />This is currently the most hotly debated topic which divides into two groups: the materialists and the anti-materialists. The former group regard consciousness purely as a function of brain activity and their goal is the ‘easy problem’ of explaining how the brain executes its various data processing tasks. The latter group force the ‘hard problem’ that understanding cerebral mechanisms does not necessarily imply an understanding of consciousness per se. <br /><br />Anthropology, Geology and Evolutionary Theory<br /><br />Darwinian evolutionary theory is starting to show serious flaws that could swing the scientific picture on evolution into the orbit of Theosophy. A seminal contribution to this breakdown of rigid Darwinism is the work of Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson in their book The Hidden History of the Human Race which is a condensed edition of Forbidden Archaeology of 952 pages. <br /><br />This work exposes a major scientific cover-up in that evolutionary prejudices, deeply held by powerful groups of scientists have served to screen out, suppress and ignore facts that contradict the dominant establishment viewpoint of human origins and antiquity. <br /><br />Cremo and Thompson have provided detailed and thorough evidence to demonstrate that people like ourselves existed on earth millions of years before the geological period claimed by Darwinism – and this enormous antiquity of the human race is certainly a key tenet of the occult doctrine on evolution and anthropogenesis.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Edi Bilimoria is the Director of the Theoversity Project.

<description><![CDATA[ Informally it is called “the bible of electronics”. “The art of electronics” is widely recognized as the authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design. The book has revolutionized the way of teaching electronics. It is co-authored by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill. Its first edition was released in 1982 while the revised edition came in 1989. The first edition sold over 125,000 copies worldwide and was translated into eight languages.<br /><br />An ideal first textbook and an indispensable reference on electronics for engineers, scientists, professional, amateur, and for all those who works with <a href="http://www.digitivity.com/semiconductor/integrated-circuits/">electronic circuits</a>.<br /><br />With more than 1000 pages, this book covers all the areas of electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. The book also discusses the often-neglected areas, such as high-speed design techniques, low-power applications, and high-frequency. Though the text is information dense but the intimate tone used makes it easily readable and more accessible.<br /><br />The USP of this book is its collection of useful example circuits. Along with some examples of good circuits it has some bad ideas too; to disuss what makes the good designs good and the bad ones bad.<br /><br /><br /><b>Reviews of the book</b><br /><br />"This is a delightful book ... an excellent teaching text as well as a lab reference. The circuits actually work, the schematics are readable, and there is even a section on how to draw good schematics. I recently observed a graduate student in physics unfamiliar with op-amps start to build a haywired mess of a circuit. He then took home The Art of Electronics for one night, and the next day the mess was taken apart, to be replaced by a correctly designed working circuit." -- Review of Scientific Instruments<br /><br />"Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics.... This scheme of making maximum use of the insights of simple approximations described in words, and introducing more formal design only after understanding has gained real headway, is the pedagogical core of this original treatment.... The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks." -- Scientific American<br /><br /><a href="http://www.digitivity.com/publications/electronic-industry.html">Some of the best electronic industry publications.</a><br /><br />--<br />Pattrick is working as an industry analyst in the electronics and electrical industry for last fifteen years. He is working on a blog where you can get a lot of information on electronics industry, news, innovations, tradeshows, etc. http://myelectronicsblog.blogspot.com/.

<title>Blavatsky’s Message and Teaching</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s (HPB) task was to act as a messenger to bring the knowledge that there is a Divine Wisdom – Theo-sophia as the root and basis upon which all philosophies, sciences and religions are founded and which guides the cosmos, nature and human life. <br /><br />This Divine Wisdom is variously known as the Ancient Wisdom, or Wisdom-Religion, or Esoteric Philosophy, or Perennial Philosophy, or Occult Science. All these terms allude to the fact that Theo-sophia is not a system of belief formulated by an individual, nor a religion in the ordinary meaning of the word denoting formalized worship and ritual; instead it is the accumulated wisdom of innumerable ages that has been systematically checked by generations of sages the world over.<br /><br /><b>What then is Occult Science? </b><br /><br />It is a generic term referring to the Hermetic or Esoteric Sciences, which explore the essential, or hidden secrets of Nature – physical and psychic, mental and spiritual – rather than, but not excluding, Her outward appearance and mechanical behavior which Western science studies to virtual perfection. <br /><br />For example, that Swedenborg came to the Occult teachings in his general conceptions is shown by his essay on the Vortical Theory. <br /><br /><b>HPB’s message</b><br /><br />As to the message that HPB brought: it is based on fundamental axioms formulated into three propositions that cannot be thought of independently from the whole, meaning that no aspect, no principle and no law can be properly considered in isolation: the Universe and all that is in it constitute a WHOLE. <br /><br />Furthermore, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that these propositions are not the invention of HPB or anyone else. They form the basis of the presentation of the doctrines of the Divine Wisdom. Countless generations of sages have checked these doctrines by study as well as practical experience in a manner akin to the inductive method of science whereby a hypothesis put forward is checked by repeatable experiments and only when there is a sufficient corroboration between hypothesis and experimental verification is the former elevated to a theory. <br /><br />In similar vein these sages have found the teachings enunciated to be in consonance with the overriding philosophy formulated by them. But it was HPB who synthesized the diverse and scattered fragments of this doctrine into a coherent system and body of knowledge made available for the first time to, and in a suitable idiom for, the Western world at large. <br /><br />But it is as well to point out here HPB’s counsel ‘that no human-born doctrine, no creed, however sanctified by custom and antiquity, can compare in sacredness with the religion of Nature.  The Key of Wisdom that unlocks the massive gates leading to the arcana of the innermost sanctuaries can be found hidden in her bosom only: and that bosom is in the countries pointed to by the great seer of the past century Emanuel Swedenborg.  There lies the heart of nature, that shrine whence issued the early races of primeval Humanity, and which is the cradle of physical man’. <br /><br />The Cards of Destiny have dealt humankind a jewel beyond price in HPB’s message of spiritual uplift and universal brotherhood to be attained by a knowledge of the eternal verities of our existence. Have we used this sublime gift with gratitude, understanding and love? Who is to say? All spiritual teachers are but messengers. They proffer no initiations and perform no miracles at our behest. All that they can do is to say, with H. P.Blavatsky: ‘I can tell you how to find those who will show you the secret gateway that leads inward only, and closes fast behind the neophyte for evermore. For those who win onwards, there is reward past all telling: the power to bless and save humanity. For those who fail, there are other lives in which success may come.’<br /><br /><br />--<br />Edi Bilimoria is the Director of the Theoversity Project.

<description><![CDATA[ Calculating The significances Of pelages of coat of arms  pelages of coat of arms talk of the family account and inheritance through the years. Frequently people and countries wish to use pelages of coat of arms to depict their appraises, rules and what they hold still for. Pelages of coat of arms feature predestined symbols with substances and describe the heraldry, colorations, creatures and assorted additional symbols. <br /><br />They have lived here for centuries. A couple of ingredients basic to most of the pelages of coat of arms are talked about here. Colorations: The colorations applied in pelages of coat of arms, whether in background or in motives, represent one or the other virtue. For instance, golden represents unselfishness, white and silver for pacification and seriousness, blueness for accuracy and dedication and dark-green for desire and delight. In addition to, there are many additional colors and their significances. <br /><br />And then there are colorations that are symbolic of gallantry and armed forces. For instance blood-red is for military capability, brownish-red for diligent undefeated combat, purple for royal family and justice and oranges constitute high aspiration. Beasts. Creatures are often represented on pelages of coat of arms. <br /><br />One of the more common is the king of beasts. There is the king of beasts rearing, which stands on its back legs. This symbolic representation represents fearless courage. <br /><br />The heraldic king of beasts represents fearlessness, durability, and valor. The king of beasts is very frequently used in majestic crowns and several domestic crowns. Another much-portrayed beast is the eagle. <br /><br />The great Roman Catholic Empire applied this insignia, and now it represents the U.S.A.. The Eagle represents a imposing nature, durability, and fearlessness. With wings spread it suggests security. Two-headed eagles suggest a uniting of two powers. Instead of the aforementioned two beasts there are others like wild boar and bull for courage and gallantry, cat for familiarity and watchfulness, cock for persistence and bravery, dolphin for speed, brotherly love, diligence and passion, Draco as valorous protector, fish means benevolent, dependable and upright mind, ram suggests authority and snake for wiseness. Imaginary beast like unicorn is as well applied. <br /><br />It describes extreme bravery and virtue. Plants in a lot of coats of arms likewise have certain meanings just like beasts and colors. For example, the shamrock constitutes persistence and a bundle of wheat stands for a harvest time of desires. <br /><br />The basic plant applied on coats of arms is the rose that stands for hope, happiness, elegance and beauty. Laurel leaves are contracts of triumph, and the lily stands for innocence. The oak tree  is a symbolic representation of antiquity, durability, continuous development and fertility. The leaves and nuts of the oak tree  also indicate different things. The acorn represents strength and antiquity. Arms and armour. <br /><br />In addition to colors, plants, and beasts, coats of arms as well include weapons and armor. Hands or coat of arms clad in arm suggest leadership. The helmet suggests durability and impregnability, as well as wiseness. The axe suggests armed forces obligation and the arrow is a symbolic representation of battle-readiness. A hammer is the symbolic representation of honor. <br /><br />The dagger suggests justice and the shacklebolt is an indicator of triumph. The spear and the pike both constitute a respectable warrior or valorous knight. <br /><br /><br />--<br />Jene Duffer is a prolific author who specializes on alternative views on a variety of topics.<br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If you are one of those who rushes home from work because it is time for X-files, or your favorite movie, Alien is being screened, then UFO's and paranormal activities must interest you a lot. Earlier, people would go to libraries to look for information on these aspects, and there weren’t many references available since very few believed in these supernatural powers. But today, with the advancement in technology and the introduction of Internet, anything and everything can be found on the web world. <br /><br />There are millions of people across the world who believes in Ghosts, and UFO's, doing research or being part of groups. One such concept that has evolved in the recent past is that of social network website. These are a forum whereby like minded people can interact, make new friends from across the globe and connect to learn something new. Some have even sighted crop circles appearing out of the blue, which they believe is to have been done by UFO's or ghosts. For such experiences to be shared and for others who are into it to feel free on expressing their thoughts, this social network site forms a friendly platform. If they are from the same town or city, they could interact online, and then meet up offline as well. There are times when members make friends with other UFO lovers and have a meeting of sorts about the supernatural powers existence. <br /><br />A place for believers of paranormal science to meet, and a chance for them to discuss, debate over the theories of flying saucer or alien existence. To become a member of the site, one needs to register, and fill out the profile page. This is so others visiting the member's page will know some information about them, and be able to connect better. you could list your favorite books, or TV shows on crop circles or the supernatural or give instances where you witnessed a UFO flying over your roof.<br /><br />The sites allow members to post pictures, or videos to substantiate their beliefs and experiences. this gives it a very real feeling, and enables other members to identify the one's who share the same interests. Crop circles, ghosts are all make believe for some, whereas for members of the social network site, they are very much a part of reality.<br /><br />When we tell a friend about Ghosts, or UFO's, they are likely to laugh at us or say we are dreaming. but for those who have unshakeable belief, they are for real. This is why this website is the best place for them to be a part of.<br /><br />Among the explanations for crop circles are that they are man made, but there are others who firmly believe they are related to paranormal actions, and UFOs. These are the people who will be interested if someone is talking about the Roswell UFO instance, which happened way back in 1947. Due to their strong belief, and faith, these members are completely into UFO's and Ghosts.<br /> <br /><br /><br />--<br />Alpine speaks about Social Network about <a href="http://www.globalufospace.com">paranormal and UFO</a>.

<description><![CDATA[ What do loose diamonds have in common with a pile of coal? More than you might think; in fact in geological terms, loose diamonds are nothing more than glorified lumps of coal. The differences are:<br /><br />- the arrangement of the carbon atoms<br />- how each material is formed<br /><br />Even when it comes to the formation of diamonds, the difference between processes is one of degree rather than mechanics. Here then is some interesting information for potential buyers of wholesale certified diamonds.<br /><br />Carbon is Carbon<br /><br />Some may remember an episode of the old "Superman" TV series from the 1950s in which Clark Kent created a diamond by compacting a lump of coal in his fist. While it is doubtful that even the "Man of Steel" could exert such preternatural geologic forces as take place deep in the earth, the concept illustrated was essentially correct - those loose diamonds that eventually wind up at diamond dealers who sell them to jewelers are made of carbon that has been subjected to extremely high pressures of 60 kilobars (for comparison, that's 60,000 times normal air pressure at sea level) and temperatures of over 2300 degrees Fahrenheit (structural steel melts at around 1520° F)! <br /><br />The pressure and heat needed to create diamond is found only at the earth's lithosphere where the crust meets the upper mantle - about 90 - 240 miles beneath the surface. Diamonds can also form when a meteorite strikes the surface of the earth, creating similar conditions or are carried on within the meteorite (some diamonds do come from outer space!).<br /><br />Coal on the other hand is formed from the decaying remains of ancient plant matter that has also been compressed by geologic forces, but much closer to the surface. In chemical terms, carbon atoms that make up carbon molecules are arranged in a flat, hexagonal pattern, making them much more brittle. In diamond however, they are arranged in a tetrahedral, or box-like structure. This is what accounts for the hardness of loose diamonds.<br /><br />Can One Turn Into the Other? <br /><br />Eventually, if a coal deposit sinks low enough into the earth and is subjected to high pressure and temperature, it can become diamond.  Theoretically, diamond could also change into coal, if kept free of chemical reactions that color the gems and stabilize the surface, then subjected to a vacuum. This is unlikely outside of controlled laboratory conditions, however.<br /><br />Loose Diamonds Are Made, Not Born<br /><br />What we refer to as loose diamonds do not occur naturally. Once diamond is mined, it is categorized into "industrial grade" and "gem grade." The latter category is what is subject to diamond appraisal, and naturally is of primary interest to diamond dealers. <br /><br />The raw diamond is <a href="http://www.gemfind.net/diamond-exchange.asp">cut into loose diamonds</a>, then carefully carved and shaped by craftsmen into forms suitable for decorative jewelry. This stage can have a great impact on the value of loose diamonds as determined by a diamond appraisal, and must be done with painstaking care and uncommon skill.<br /><br />Wholesale certified diamonds must also be analyzed and graded by a professional gemology lab. It is here that the stones are evaluated for carat, color and clarity. Along with the results of the diamond appraisal> which evaluates the cut, they provide the basis of valuation.<br /><br />--<br />Jonathon Blocker specializes in diamond appraisal, loose diamonds, and wholesale certified diamonds.

<description><![CDATA[ Flip a coin. Think about that cliché statement, but one which actually carries a lot of meaning behind it. Before you decide to do this, there is neurological activity in your brain preceding the event. There are conscious and unconscious processes about how to hold the coin, how much pressure to use, how fast, that all take place in milliseconds. And don't overlook the nanosecond timing that exists on the microscopic scale of your physiology.<br /><br /><br /><br />Then when the coin goes up, what are the possibilities? Think about the rare chance that the coin could land on its side. It might sound bizarre, though every one of us has probably thought of this. Now I offer a question to break the silence. What is the actual moment that decides the outcome of the coin? You might think when it left your hand. While this is undoubtedly true for the most part, according to Newtonian physics, the Quantum world is a completely different story.<br /><br /><br /><br />Quantum Mechanics tells us that everything exists as energy. The funny thing about energy, is there are no certainties. At this scale when Classical Mechanics gives way to Quantum processes, even nanosecond timing would seem like eternity. Where the Quantum shines is how it shows us that all outcomes are just as likely. What are the odds (Newtonian classical) or probabilities (quantum), that the coin may never land. If the probability waves collapsed on a specific reality, the coin could disappear out of existence, appear in another dimension, or a myriad of other possibilities that are all just as likely.<br /><br /><br /><br />If that sounds crazy, think about this. When you catch that coin, are you in the same reality as when you lofted it?<br /><br />--<br /><p>Thomas Sweet is a certified hypnotist, who received an MBA and is an undergrad in Physics.</p><br /><p>He studies several forms of energy such as Reiki, Access Energy and Shamanism.
