My (A)symmetrical world:
As another blogger mentioned, if you took a picture of each side of your face separately and then made a mirror image of it and put them next to eachother, you'd come up with two very different faces, and I have to say I completely agree with him. Things that appear symmetrical, such as people, faces, buildings, nature, etc, certainly aren't symmetrical when things get down to brass tacks.
Just what does this "CP violation" really mean?:
I've been darting back and forth between the Wikipedia article of CP Violation and this blog the past week, hoping that the more times I read it, the more I'll understand it, however, it's definitely not the case. Just as you're asking what it means, I'm afraid I can't really say. I could recite knowledge from the Wiki definition, but that doesn't really help any lay-person trying to understand just what CP violation is.
Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?:
I believe our class on October first well answered this question. I don't think physics today would be possible without the use of sacred geometry in the past. Although, I think that technology has hindered our actual brain, because as technology gets smarter, we rely on it more, and we seem to lose touch with our brain actually working through these problems.

Week 4 Assignment
Apologies for the lateness of this post. I had meant to do it last week, but was in an accident on my scooter, and once I had gotten home, I needed to study for my upcoming History quiz.
Anyway, on to the questions:
Question 1: How has E=MC^2 affected you?
I'm not entirely sure it has. At least, not in any kind of direct way that I could explain. I guess if all matter is energy, then it would make sense to say that all energy is uniform, and that everything is connected. Saying it like that, one could definitely make sense of synchronicity in my previous post.
Question 2: How would you compare the four "forces"?
I'm don't know if they're entirely comparable. They have things in common, but to me, it's like saying that because I have brown hair, that I have something in common with every single brown-haired person in the world. I think the comparisons to be made for the four forces are on that very, VERY broad scale. But then if you look a little deeper, than you might find that this brown-haired person enjoys these types of movies and so on, and I think you can find more minute things in common between the forces.
Question 3: What is the function of gravity?
I think the biggest function of gravity is to keep us all grounded. I mean that in both the literal and figurative senses. Obviously there would be problems if we all were floating off the planet in a universe sans gravity, and I think it would make life a lot more difficult. I think inertia would have a lot bigger role to play in our lives. For example, my scooter accident: Had there been no gravity, I would've simply kept going after being thrown from my scooter. I think, though, with the way I hit the car, that I'd have been going in an up direction because of how I landed. I think I'd still have the knee pain that I've been in the past week, which is unfortunate, but it's still interesting to wonder where I'd have ended up had gravity not pulled me to the ground after glancing off of the guy's hood.
