Learning Adventure

Adventure 68 ~ A Leap In Thinking

/ intrepidjane

Screenshot (1)Today’s the last day of my Space Odyssey : I get to grips with String Theory and I reflect on my own learning process. A new line of questioning emerges for me too. It’s a different type of enquiry ~ Β it’s a question that exists at a new level and reflects a new order of thinking . I think I only this new question as a result of going through the process of learning about theoretical physics.

Grappling with questions about cosmology and theoretical physics has had the impact of pushing my mind through a metaphorical wormhole. I now find myself in a new universe where new laws of thinking might apply. I wonder what I’m going to discover in this new place? Whatever I discover, I’m certain it’s going to be thanks to “Wormhole Thinking” πŸ™‚ .

Adventure 66 ~ The Theories Of Multiverse

/ intrepidjane

Today I’m exploring “the multiverse” ~ a theory which proposes that our universe is not the only universe! Watch me as I try to get my head around three theoretical models : Bubble Universe theory ; Membrane theory and Many Worlds theory!

Adventure 65 ~ What is exotic matter?

/ intrepidjane

Today I’m exploring the idea of exotic matter and how it makes wormholes traversable πŸ™‚ . By the way, my head seems to be acclimatising and this is, oddly enough, all beginning to make sense to me!

Adventure 64 ~ What is space-time?

/ intrepidjane

Today I explore the idea of space-time (also known as the space-time continuum and the fabric of space-time). I found a really helpful video which helped the penny to drop (but my head still hurts!)

Adventure 63 ~ Einstein’s Theory Of General Relativity

/ intrepidjane

Four lines of enquiry opened up yesterday as a result of grappling with the idea of wormholes. One of those lines was : what is the theory of general relativity? Today I attempt to understand, and describe, this theory which Einstein published in 1915. (I’d just like to say that my head is beginning to hurt!) πŸ™‚

Adventure 62 ~ Wormholes 101

/ intrepidjane

Today I’m exploring the line of enquiry that opened up for me yesterday : wormholes . Watch me as I use a part of my vacuum cleaner to explain how this hypothetical feature of space- time might work and as I begin to see a learning pattern emerge!

Adventure 61 ~ The Anatomy Of A Black Hole

/ intrepidjane

spaceAlright. Hands up. It’s true : I’ve moved from “not interested in space at at all” to “totally fascinated by the entire cosmos and beyond” within 24 hours (and I’m certainly starting to see how my learning strategy really works for me!) Yesterday’s adventure opened up 3 interesting lines of enquiry for me :

What is a black hole?

What is the event horizon?

What is the singularity?

Watch as I explore the anatomy of a black hole and open up another new line of enquiry πŸ™‚ !

Adventure 60 ~ What Would Happen If I Fell Into A Black Hole?

/ intrepidjane

Today’s adventure sees me starting a new adventure series. The aim of this series is to discover more about the way I learn. I selected a magazine that seemed to hold very little appeal and wondered if I could get curious about any of its contents. Would a natural curiosity emerge? Would a line of enquiry reveal itself Β like a trail of breadcrumbs for me to follow?

Watch what happens when I open the pages of “All About Space” πŸ™‚ .

Today’s adventure involves me learning some basic Russian phrases! Can you work out what I’m saying? (I’ve provided a translation under the video just in case it’s not obvious πŸ™‚ )

How’s things? My name is Jane. I’m having fun πŸ™‚ . Bye!

Adventure 50 ~ Dream Interpretation

/ intrepidjane

DMT finalToday I’m starting a 7-day dream diary. Based on the Dreamind Triangle process in a book called Dreaming Realities , I’m going to interpret my own dreams, look for repeating patterns and (if I’m brave enough!) take some aligned action.

According to the authors, John Overdurf and Julie Silverthorn, using such a process will help to create alignment between my higher conscious mind (the part of me that pretty much knows everything), my unconscious mind and my conscious mind. This dream interpretation system is predicated on the following process : my higher conscious mind has a message for me ; it sends that message to me via my unconscious mind ; my unconscous mind encodes the message (it provides the stage, the content and the symbols of a dream) ; my conscious mind then tries to decode the message. The process I am about to follow over the next 7 days will help me to decode the messages that my higher conscious mind is sending to me. (Sounds cool, right?)

Here’s my diary entry for Day 1. I’ll be referring to the triangle diagram at the beginning of this post to help you to understand the process ~ just click on the image to enlarge it πŸ™‚ . Please feel free to join in with this adventure and share your experiences by posting a comment!
