Week Four - Energy, Matter, & the Four Forces

• How has e=mc² affected you?
• Einstein's formula explains the relationship of energy and mass.  How we exist within them encompasses energy, time, matter, and space.  It's a concept that I take for granted since it has been taught to me as obvious.  I found this entertaining video online explaining the formula in only minute.
• How would you compare the four “forces”?
• The four forces are gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force.  Gravity is the weakest of all four forces and can be demonstrated with static electricity.  Electromagnetism is the second strongest force even though gravity is more common.  It comes in two charges, one positive and one negative.  The weak and strong nuclear forces are the lesser known out of all forces and not well understood.  
• What is the function of gravity?
• The function of gravity is to ground us.  If it didn't exist unattached objects would float away like balloons.  I think of gravity as the Yin anchor to Yang Qi.  Gravity keeps the Earth orbiting around the Sun.  Without the Yang from the Sun there would be no life.
