Joanna Limas 22-2 1.The conception of a multiverse where we find ourselves living in an almost infinite realm that cannot be defined makes me feel tiny. Almost like an ant and a microscopic spec in the universe. I feel like what i know is so slim compared to what we are in the universe. Knowing that I am made up of atoms and material stuff changes my conception of myself to the form that I am just some scientific wiggling occurring through space and time. The idea of a multiverse only expands the question of our purpose as a planet is. It also adds to the question of other life and other galaxies, which would have yet to be understood, even in the atomic level. 2. A deep understanding of probability and chance ultimately leaves me with the philosophic ideal that I absolutely cannot predict life. The world we live in is based on chance. Chance began before I was even conceived and when my parents were conceived. However, the chance that my parents crossed paths and the chance that the sperm reached the egg to form a zygote and produce myself is ultimately unpredictable. I’m left with the perception that anything can happen at any given moment. Yes, things can be probable and likely but ultimately life is left up to chance. The video Quantum Thinking discusses, we cannot ultimately understand matter for matter with observing tools since we are invariably altering what we are examining. We can only examine what nature produces. It leaves me with optimism knowing that occur by chance and possibilities can be exceptions to the rule of statistics. 3. Just as Feynman appreciates the beauty of the flower in various dimensions, beauty in science can be appreciated on various levels, especially in science. The video observes the flower at a molecular level and higher forms is scientifically appreciated. Science broadens my appreciation of life and beauty based on the fact it excludes faith and religion and can always be able to be proven wrong. Science constantly poses new ideas and ways of thinking to further understand our way of life and beyond. The science of reproduction has allowed me to appreciate life more than I could be taught through faith. From the egg and sperm uniting at conception to the growth and development of a baby in the human body. It’s fascinating and beautiful what the human body can do to reproduce a new human being. Science has taught me more about the process of reproduction that can allow us to understand our own bodies and be able to view how new life is formed at the cellular level up to the level which we see it at birth. site: sites.google.com/a/student.mtsac.edu/joannalimas/exam-3

EC Response “I'm a fan of the golden hour, the short time before the sun sets. The beautiful colors of sky are more varied and richer in tone. It was easy to take in the bands of color to my causal observations but when it came time for me to paint one these scenes from imagination, I was at a loss. I ended up having to researching why the sky changes colors and, of course, science had an answer. Once I learned the levels of scattering in different wavelengths of light, I was able to obtain a base understanding of the changing colors of the sky at different times of day. This was enough knowledge for me to paint a somewhat believable sunset scene from my imagination, well. . . at least as far the arrangement of colors is concerned.” My response: I agree. The beauty of a sunset is naturally beautiful. Scientifically, its very interesting to fully understand why we view the sunset how we do. Ultimately, it’s one of those things that are beautiful to see on many levels just as in the video the beauty of the flower was expressed. sites.google.com/a/student.mtsac.edu/joannalimas/exam-3-respon

Film Test 3: 22-2
Question 1: The multiverse is so vast compared to just Earth. As I kid, a three hour car ride seemed like an eternity, but knowing that stars are many light years away is humbling. I'm just a small part here in the United States but it pales in comparison to the multiverse that we are a part of. Being made of atoms and material stuff does not really affect me because I knew I had to be made from something. I'm still the same me when it comes down to it.
Question 2: As the legendary Bear Bryant once said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." I control most of what happens in my life, but chance plays a small part of it as well. If I went to the gas station and bought a lottery ticket and ended up winning, I was lucky to win, but I had to buy the ticket in the first place. I had to purchase the lottery ticket to win, so I had an impact on my luck of hitting the lottery in that scenario.
Question 3: I learned about centripetal force when I was younger watching a basketball game. A player shot a basketball late in the game, and the ball rolled around the rim until it finally went in as the buzzer sounded. Later on in life, I learned about centripetal force in science class, and that play suddenly came back to my memory and finally explained how the basketball went in. Cows also lay down before it rains, and I noticed this a long time ago when my mom pointed it out riding through the country on the way to school. She would always point it out, and she was correct for the most part. A University of Arizona explained this phenomenon by saying that cows stand up to lower their body core temperature. Cows lay down to conserve heat, so cows can in turn feel the low front coming in before it rains.

1.due to the nature of the internet I've already been inundated with information regarding the multiverse theory and when I first heard it I was more or less unaffected because it's a very simple concept (at least for me) every action results in the creation of a universe where the contrary occurs and the consequences of the resulting action take place, and so the possibilities become unlimited and thus the amount of universe("ses" "sii" ?) become numerous and undefined. knowing what I'm made of really doesn't affect me due to the fact that as long as I can exist I am perfectly fine with what ever it is I'm made up of.
2.normally this kind of knowledge would depress someone but I look at it as exciting, being able to actually know that I'm the one who actually controls what happens to an extent not being apart of some crazy puppet show feels great and knowing that I exist is fun enough but along with chance always entitles hope. the ever changing world of hope is amazing the possibility of something unimaginable happening at any given moment is great to think about and, well, hope for. if life is chance then that's exciting and fun and means you can hope for anything you want and there's always the possibility it could happen.
3. my moment of appreciation through science came from plants as well in regards to Feynman's flower when I realized what a miracle herbs and spices were on the body. when I found out that herbs were everywhere and had the ability to cure just about any thing was amazing to me and the sheer number of effects they could have on the body astounded me anything ranging from relaxing the body to providing an energy boost, to curing indigestion to assisting in the recovery of various diseases herbs are truly astounding and not to mention the many ways to apply them to name a few creams, candles, teas, incense, oils and tinctures. I really enjoy science and all it explains because it proves that there's more mystery in the world than we realize.

1. The idea of multiple universes, at such an enormous capacity as to be undefinable was one that I had always previously believed to be true, and the idea that I made of atoms and materials stuff-of matter, does not truly alter my perspective on myself. There might be an entire universe filled with life somewhere beyond our reach, or we might be the only life in this universe, and the next, and the next, and so on. And my and all my emotions, beliefs, and thoughts might be simply a mix of genetics successfully passing down and the snaps of synapses, or there might be something spiritual or "metaphysical" about humans as a species. But regardless of which of these is the truth regarding myself and my place in this world, I end up with the same concepts about myself, and that is that I am privileged, and that with that comes a sense of obligation to live and do well as a person. There is a famous story of the watchmaker, in that if a man found a watch on the beach, there must then have been a watchmaker, for how could the watch have fallen together on its own. (As is the idea that the earth so perfectly made for life could not have fallen together on its own) There is however, also an analogy of the winner of the $10,000,000 lottery, and that the winner of the lottery might think he was fated to his prize, but fails to see the millions of others who did not win, and that his prize is simply an action of chance. (This relates to the idea that we on Earth think we are fated to have been on this perfectly sculpted planet-yet we fail to see the millions of other planets, galaxies, and even possible universes that may not have life-and that a mere intricate chain of chance brought life to our planet) Whether I am a perfectly created and tuned watch, perhaps with some metaphysical aspect of the watchmaker within me, or whether I am the by-chance lottery winner, set within my lucky circumstances entirely by chance, and am truly an outcome of matter falling together very cohesively, I still feel that I am a one-in-a-billion mix of matter, and that alone sets within me an obligation to use what I have been given to the best of my ability.
2 In short: it doesn't really. It might at first seem to complicate my belief or philosophy that "everything happens for a reason," (albeit the reason is sometimes that we as humans are stupid and careless). But on second thought, if the entire universe is in fact based on chance (playing on the idea that all of the world is in fact made entirely of matter and that nothing metaphysical exists), then my belief in reason might just be a genetic mutation, and although there might not be in fact a reason of every occurrence within life-I would still hold on to that belief that all things happen for a reason. This is because, if based on the idea that everything happens because of a complicated mix of chance (And not for some planned purpose or reason), then I as the human that I am today, must be here because this philosophy which must (according to this idea of change and probability) have been ingrained into my brain through some set of biological or social chance mutation was deemed favorable and fit enough to survive through generations upon generations. As I am in fact not at all alone in my philosophy that everything within life happens for a reason-in fact millions, nay billions of people in the world believe the same-if this was in fact a genetic chance mutation (following the idea that a very stupid computer system might create a very complicated pattern; a very mindless set of matter may have by some wild chance formed into a living species that questions the intrinsic value of their existence-us) then something within the human species must have found the genetic chance mutation of believing that things happen for a reason to be favorable. There must then be a reason that that assumed mutation was found favorable. So if life is truly a simple game of chance, then chance must have somehow found the genetic mutation of holding a belief of something bigger and a belief that things happen for a reason favorable enough to pass it through thousands of generations for the majority of the world to make their philosophies and to base their entire belief systems around it.
3. The idea of "Feynman's Flower" is that scientist who knows the functionality and breakdown of a flower and the purpose of each element of the flower will not see the flower as less beautiful (as some poets or artists had previously argued), but rather as more beautiful because they see not only the extrinsic beauty but also the intrinsic purpose of the build-up of the flower. This idea is particularly relevant to me as science used to be my least favorite subject until very very recently. In an effort to schedule my classes in a way that interacted will with my work and another school I attended at the time, I ended up taking most of my science requirement classes in one semester. Because I had a recent interest in the worsening environmental climate and an interest in going back to nature, I was able to draw relevant information from my classes that I could invest myself in. This in effect made me realize how truly intricate this entire planet is in its many cycles and processes that are all completely essential to keeping all species alive. Though I had always had a general knowledge of the most basic cycles of the world, I recently began to truly learn about each and every cycle, process, and system within our planet. This made me see the planet and the natural environment not just as someplace to go to get away from the city, or a nice place to pitch a tent and bonfire with people I enjoy (in essence seeing what the artists and poets saw in a flower), but it forced me to realize how delicate the balance of the world is, and how each action has a reaction, and that there truly "is not free lunch in nature"-in the sense that every single chemical reaction, chemical product, or chemical cycle we as humans create has an adverse affect somewhere within this world. And despite the planets incredible capability to heal itself, we as a population grow more and more demanding of it with every passing generation, and every passing day. Seeing the scientific knowledge in why the world does what it does, and how humans impact this constant cycle made me appreciate the planet and the natural environment so much more for its capability to thrive, grow, adapt, and live, as well as its incredible make-up of so many cohesive eco systems, cycles, and processes that are all so essential-and so easily broken down by human actions. I can now see the world not just as this beautiful place filled with so many different people, cultures, climates, and creatures, but also as a incredibly important system built of of millions of different systems that are so delicately balanced and easily destroyed, yet which are completely essential to my capability to survive and thrive.

1. The conception of a multiverse makes me feel like I don’t know much about what makes me a human being and how small my existence is compared to how big the universe is. Knowing that I am made up of atoms and material stuff makes me feel that I don’t fully understand how or why everything in life exists. 2. A deep understanding of chance does alter my philosophy on life because it opens up the probability of certain events to happen in my life. 3. Relating to the video on “Feynman’s Flower” I believe science opens my mind up to not only appreciate the outer beauty of something but to see deeper and understand that there is many layers and elements to what makes a flower and everything else on earth work. I have learned to appreciate animals and certain insects because I know that some are on the verge of being extinct and all are important to our eco system.

Question 1: I don't believe of a multiverse changes my conception of myself or my life at all. Although it gives perspective to how small we really are it does not change who I am. If we do in fact live in a multiverse we will only be effected when we can experience another universe. Whether that means communicating or traveling to a different universe I find that we can only deal with what is in front of us. Question 2: I believe chance to be the once variable that cannot and will not be calculated. With chance we can not predict the future inevitably. We can predict with some things with good or even great accuracy but chance can always change outcome. I believe the purpose of chance is the purpose of life it'self. We must accept life for what it is and cannot calculate everything. Question 3: I agree completely with the idea that thing only become more beautiful and more full of awe and wonder when learning more about them. The idea that something becomes more dull by learning more is absurd. Even When analyzing and breaking things down to a science we can never fully answer every question about it's function in the grander scheme of things. I find that with knowledge come a higher appreciation for little things and their complexity. sites.google.com/site/anthonymorenoblogger/test-posts

Christian Allen; 22-2 Test 3: Question 1: If I believed in a multi-verse then my actions would be predetermined, would they not? Okay, ponder this: if there are innumerable or infinite universes parallel or next to the one I am currently conscious of and posting this test, then every possibility would play out. I will concede that some could be exactly the same but they would in turn fulfill a set of events. To me that would take away from an idea of having influence over events and situations that occur throughout my existence. Predestination in a way, similar to the horror movie series that was popular in recent years. But contrary to those movies, not only would my actions fit a purpose, but my thought processes to lead to my actions, the bio-chemical reactions my body undergoes and even these processes in others and their influence on my condition lead to an outcome I can do nothing about. Even if my decisions shape this universe and is independent from the other infinite universes, losing a sense of being unique would be more discouraging to me than losing a sense of power and influence. Question 2: I live my life as though I can influence very little and have power over a very finite set of variables. One of these is the causality of my actions. "Actions have consequences." But if I were told every result of any action would have an equal chance of happening regardless then why wouldn't I live more so that I'm happy in an action since I may end up sad regardless. But the opposite would also be just as likely (to be happy as a result) and an emotion of somewhere in the vast middle could also be just as likely. But I don't think chance takes away from causality. Probabilities vary and are seldom equal across the board. So actions influencing the probability of something seems logical to me. This in no way disqualifies the less probable things from happening but would slants the odd in a direction one desires. That is what I try to do. But if I lives as though chance were the determining faction, I would probably try to enjoy the good as much as I could and try to move on from the bad as quickly as I could since neither are really my fault. Hurting someone, someone hurting me would lessen any guilty I might otherwise feel. Question 3: Our sun is amazing. You don't even realize it! It is most basically responsible for the natural luminosity we take for granted. More than this, it is the scale by which we separate our days. It influences our sky with its rays hitting our atmosphere and that combination is often referred to by humans as being beautiful. It is used as a romantic setting to promote emotions of love and caring. These are biochemical reactions influenced by the sun but dependent on people's opinions. Direct ways the sun influences humans biochemically are in compounds the body produces to reduce negative effects of solar rays. The sun also influences plants in their processes of :photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. These processes are essential and a symbiotic relationship with animals that produce CO2 and need O2. Because of the sun's rays, plants and the atmosphere has various colors and landscapes also have an effect on a biochemical level, with many animals requiring plants for their survival. Other than a personal impact the sun has on homo-sapiens, the sun is made of small units called atoms (H+). This is such a small unit that the naked eye can only see them in very large quantities. The hydrogen and helium in the sun is consistently attracted and repelled with one another. This is responsible for both the sun's frequent explosions and it's amazingly strong gravitational pull. This gravitational pull impacts the planets in our solar system, including the dwarf planets, their moons. But the sun is tiny compared to the size of our actual solar system and the area it's gravity affects. The sun is even smaller compared to the galaxy it helps comprise and almost nonexistent compared to the vastness of space and this known universe. Our size compared to the sun is pathetic, but the sun's size compared to the universe is the same. But the sun has an impact without technology or consciousness. How much more impact can homo-sapiens have on this universe given enough time and knowledge? sites.google.com/site/barryallenphil5/

Week 3 Test 22-2
1) The idea of having another “MULTIVERSE” really doesn’t seem real to be because I guess I never really thought about it but if I were to think about it a few questions would come to mind like how would the universe would look like or how life would even be in that multiverse, would everyone behave the same or will it be completely different. That would be kind of crazy to know that our universe might be one of a countless amount if other universes.
2) My deep understanding of chance is like this, I always think what the worst thing that can happen if I do this or that. If I take this chance what good am I going get out of it and that’s with almost anything I do. Chance to me is like possibility and possibility means thing that may happen or be the case. If I make an unsure decision that will affect my life in the long run then I start thinking out how it will turn out in the end no matter what it is. So I tell people to look at the choices that they are making in a deeper level and then the choice is are you going to take the chance or not. There is chance in everything you and I will do.
3) Gives people a better understanding of life. I think everyone should ask the question why? Why does things work the way they do or why things are the way they are. Science gives that information in very detailed way and it is not just because or God did it. Science shows the reason why for EVERYTHING. Science provides you with the beauty in the process how and the reason why it happens. I think people could be more satisfied and appreciative because there is an answer to the question why. Here is my example: when I was a kid I remember asking my parents how are baby’s made and of course they told me but it still wasn’t clear to me as a kid but of course as I got older I started to learn more and more, had it not been for science then I still wouldn’t really understand how babies are made.

22-2 Question #1: The concept of a multiverse makes me feel very curious about what else is out there. I tend to not think about what else could be out there, but now I am curious to know what my other self could be like. If I am just "stuff", what other kind of "stuff" can be out there. Question #2: When you understand chance, I feel that it will help you make better decisions in life. If you are always thinking about "what could happen" you are more likely to make the better decision. As in Quantam Mechanics anything can happen by "chance" which just proves to you that anything is possible. And you must always consider the good and bad in the decisions you make. Question #3: Science gives you more of an understanding of the word beauty. Science makes you see how are bodies are comprised of "stuff" but yet we are beautiful creatures. Whether you are religious and believe that we are more that just "stuff" our bodies are still magnificent machines, and science helps explain how it all works together. sites.google.com/site/mrsespinosa0331/

Week 3 Film Test: 22-2 Question #1: The concept of a multiverse makes me feel minuscule, yet amazed. We are but a small spec in a cluster of universes. People in today’s society tend to be very egocentric and materialistic, because they feel as though we are the greatest beings in existence. In reality, there may be so much out there that we do not even know exists. If that does not make you feel small, I honestly don’t know what will. The theory of a multiverse also amazes me because of the mere fact that we are not consciously aware of whether or not there truly is one. If some sort of multiverse does indeed exist, we do not really notice the effects it may be having on our lives. Knowing that I an entirely made up of atoms and material stuff does not necessarily change the conception I have on myself. Whether I choose to believe that I am made up of atoms and material stuff or something metaphysical, I am the person that I am for whatever reason that may be. Question #2: Having a deep understanding of chance does not necessarily alter my philosophy on life. I have always believed that things do not necessarily happen because they are supposed to happen. I have always believed that life runs on chance. The belief that probability is a key factor to life puts my mind at ease tremendously. It makes me realize that if chance is truly that important in life, then some of the ups and downs that have occurred in mine were not all caused at my own hands. The idea of chance intrigues me tremendously. It makes me think what life would be like if there was no such thing. Question #3: The concept behind “Feynman’s Flower” is so utterly true when you think about it. Science is a beautiful, mysterious thing all itself, so it’s no surprise that it has the ability to broaden my appreciation for the aspects in life and what makes them beautiful. In my life, I have experienced what Feynman did in relations to finding beauty in understanding the scientific elements of a simple object. My insight came through the ocean as opposed to a flower. I grew up at the beach, so the ocean has always been a common sight for me throughout my life. Growing up, I always wondered what was under all of the water, but I never really cared enough to find out for myself. It was not until I was in sixth grade that I began to understand the way the ocean works and what it holds far in its depths. Knowing the facts about something that I was so familiar with made me appreciate it in a far greater way. I know cannot look out at the ocean without finding every crashing wave or marine life beautiful and breathtaking. sites.google.com/site/psychepathways/home

Taylor Andruska 22-2 Question 1: It makes me feel very small, almost as if there's no meaning. Living in a multiverse makes it as if I am merely a small piece of a puzzle rather than being a puzzle made up of small pieces. I can relate living in a multiverse to being a sea urchin in a tide pool. To them, that is their entire world, that little rock community. To us, earth is our entire world. The possibility that we are just one little tide pool in an even larger universe gives me the feeling of being very small, like a sea urchin. Question 2: The idea of change or probability could alter an entire persons view on life. But it does not necessarily alter my perception on life. I've always grown up believing that I had a lot of luck and that regardless of the circumstances that were going on, that something good was always going to come through. So in a way I already believed in chance or probability. Question 3: Science shows how intricate and amazing even the tiniest of things could be. Sometimes I look at the california coastline and I am blown away. In my oceanography class we went to the tide pools and looked at the sea creatures and it was just simply amazing. It is insane to thing that in just that one little area of rocks that there was an entire community of creatures living their lives. So in some weird poetic way, its actually pretty beautiful. Science breaks things down to a very small degree and if you look inside you can see how much is going on. Look at humans for example. Our insides make look disgusting but really they are beautiful in the way that every part of our body is connected and that it all works together to make us. Science is beautiful in many many ways and its all about perspective. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. sites.google.com/a/student.mtsac.edu/worldwideweird/

Philosophy Test 3
Joshua Montes
Film Test 3
1. The idea of the multiverse theory doesn't really make me feel anything besides interest. While I think the idea of infinite realities where every choice possible has be been made possible, is very interesting, I fail to see how this affects me. From what I understand these alternate universes have no (or at least seem to have no) impact on me. If there is no direct effect, I don't see how I can feel anything besides interest. The multiverse theory also does not really change my perception of myself. If I were to take the idea seriously, then the sad reality is that none of the choices I make matter. Doing this test, taking this class, deciding to not rob a bank or drink some drain-o. None of these choices matter because if infinite universes exist, then some version of myself has done none, some or even all of these things. My one choice among infinite seems even more trivial than it did before.
2. A deep understanding of chance doesn't truly alter my life. As much as I want to say that understanding that my existence is the result of incalculable and completely ridiculous tiny percentages of decimals, I simply can't understand it. I really want to appreciate chance, but I find it extremely difficult to relate to such a insane level of chance. We can go even further than the chances of my specific existence and look at the chances for an inhabitable universe. According to Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time Dr. Hawking estimates that if the rate of the universe's expansion only one single second after the Big Bang had been smaller by only 1/hundred thousand million million which is a 1 in quintillion chance or 1/1018 (If I calculated that correctly). This isn't the only case where incomprehensible odds are involved in the creation of inhabitable universes. Odds against initial conditions being suitable for star formation, odds against the strength of gravity being life-permitting. There are dozens of such odds that are all compounded upon one another. I simply cannot take these sorts of odds seriously, I think I'd go crazy before I truly understood. I think that a deep understanding of chance is better left to other men, I'll just stick with calculating coin flip patterns and casino odds as mentioned in quantum weirdness.
3. Science broadened by appreciate of aesthetics by allowing me to understand the minute details that come with true beauty. I found myself in art class during my sophomore year of high school drawing Florentine buildings. I sketched the buildings by free-hand using pictures as sort of a guide. While I was sketching these buildings I realized that something was immensely wrong. I realized that the rooftops seemed completely off, I erased the rooftops then tried again, making them more flat instead of angled. Again, I was met with a sad representation of the true beauty that resides in the streets of Florence. I tried again and again and soon realized that mere degrees meant the difference between ugly, cartoony buildings, and true, beautiful sketches. I then realized that these sort of angles exist all throughout Italian architecture, especially in the arches. I have no idea why these angles are so pleasant but science allowed me to appreciate just how much seemingly trivial things like degrees on angles, can make a world of difference. Another example of how science allowed me to appreciate an ordinary thing exists in the human eyeball. Dr. Micheal Behe in his book, Darwin's Black Box uses the precise nature of eyeballs to contest the theory of evolution and play on Darwin's idea of irreducible complexity. Behe goes into great detail describing just how many processes need to occur nearly simultaneously to create a fully-functioning eye and this truly made me appreciate the many wonders that come with our human bodies.

Week 3
22-2
1. The Concept that we all living in an almost infinite realm that cannot be defined make me feel the world is really big that anything can be possible. Like I never thought about the idea that we are made up of atoms and material stuff. Although in the science class and we have all been taught that the stuff is made up with some material, even we find out that the original of ocean is made up with our first thing coming up from the earth “Zicon” a prototype of ocean.
2. In my opinion, I think probability does not apply on me, because I think every choose can have their reason, and every chance can have their best result. Although there is a probability of choosing a gateway, but there is no absolute answer. A short cut or a farther process can all be point to a same direction. Therefore, I think every probability is a good probability.
3. I am artist and I really like art. I know lots of artist found their inspiration in the natural. Lots of inspirations are from the ocean, and I know some artist using the wave pattern making lots of different shape of product. Also, there are lots of color in the natural are really pretty and rare, and lots of those color has been using in our daily life too.

Film Test #3 #22-2 1. How does the conception of a multiverse (where we find ourselves living in an almost infinite realm that cannot be defined) make you feel? Knowing that you are made up of atoms and material stuff, how does it change the conception you have of yourself? - The concept of living in a multiverse makes me feel unique. When watching the video that Shaun Lane made on String Theory, it made me realize that if the theory is true then we are all truly unique and not at the same time. By knowing that I am made up of atoms and material stuff like everything else but I am built the way that I am and can do the things I do, I feel pretty darn amazing. 2. Quantum Mechanics is based on probability. How does a deep understanding of chance alter your philosophy on life? - It is great to understand better how everything is based off of chance. It helps explain so many things in life. Knowing that life is based off of chance lets us understand how one ripple in the pond of life and what position we are in that ripple can changes how our life turns out. No matter if we have a set plan for our lives based off of quantum mechanics we now understand that life can take us in any direction and we just need to learn how to ride the wave and be prepared for every possible outcome. 3. Relating to “Feynman’s Flower” how does science broaden your appreciation of life and beauty? Give examples of your own life where you found something out from science that made you appreciate an ordinary thing or object much more? - In relation to “Feynman’s Flower” I believe the science does add to the beauty and lets us have a greater appreciation of the life that is around us. As I made this comment before in my critical thinking class last semester, When we are able to understand all the complicity of what creates a flower and what the flower does to feed itself, grows, what colors it will create, and what shape it will become add so much to the beauty of the flower itself from what we see with the naked eye. I believe that they same concept goes for everything in life. An example of science that helped me appreciates something more is when I took my first biology class and I learned about how DNA works. I never really took the time to appreciate how someone looks or acts. When I learned about how this molecule called DNA holds the instructions to make every species unique. And just how four nucleotide A, G, T, and C can arrange itself in so many different ways to a human or shark.
