Book : The Field

Title : The Field : the quest for the secret force of the universe
Author : Lynne McTaggart

"During the pas few decades science has begun to prove what ancient myth and religion has always espoused: that there may be such a thing as a life force. Frontier scientists all over the globe have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field – the Zero Point Field – connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic cobweb of energy exchange.
This book is a highly readable scientific detective story which reveals how the Field is responsible for many of the most profound human mysteries, from alternative medicine and spiritual healing to extra-sensory perception and the collective uncounscious

I think the concepts and discoveries presented in this book can be linked also with the Superstring theory : the basic idea is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of the Planck length which vibrate at resonant frequencies. Every string in theory has a unique resonance, or harmonic. Different harmonics determine different fundamental forces. The tension in a string is on the order of the Planck force.

In this video, physicist Brian Green explains the superstring theory : the idea that miniscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe.

Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification

October 29, 2009

The rise of CO2 (Carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere has not only the effect to rise the Earth temperature, to melt the glaciers and to rise the seas levels around our world. Recent studies demonstrate that it causes also the acidification of the water in the oceans.
This acidification will destroy many marine life forms.
