Special Theory of Relativity in a Nutshell
From the video:
- Mass and energy are both different manifestations of the same thing.
- Very small amounts of mass may be converted into very large amounts of energy and vice versa
- Mass and energy are equivalent: Matter = Energy
This is a pretty abstract idea, but I like to think it has the following implications:
- We are everything, and everything is us (that’s not exactly a new concept is it?)
- Therefore, what benefits us benefits others, and what hurts others hurts ourselves (“Be the change you want to see in the world” and of course “Love Thy Neighbour”)
- The conversion of energy to matter corresponds the conversion of thought to reality.
- The universe is constantly transforming from energy into matter and back.
In other words, we are able to the control physical universe through thought, and control the energetic universe through action (think Qi Gong, Yoga, Taiji etc.). The more thought/consciousness (energy) there is, the more potential for conversion into matter; the more conscious we are the more we can create our own reality. We humans really are gods arent’t we!? But of course this is a metaphysical sort imagination of what Einsteins physics could represent. But, as he said himself,
Imagination is more important than knowledge…
Why don’t they teach imagination in school?
