Fable - Main Point |
Science - Topic |
Perhaps elements of the physical world that are considered inanimate in modern times are actually alive |
Heat causes expansion which cause a decrease in density and weight |
|
Suspending intellectual analysis can cause more intense observation |
Teaching the Scientific Method can accidentally cause students to jump to conclusions |
|
Learning to honor human abilities to observe before analyzing |
A classic experiment that propagates a bias of seeing humans as machines |
|
Challenging science teaching to allow students to simply stay in a state of wonder sometimes, without necessarily making analytical conclusions |
Science teaching could help students teach themselves by sharpening observation |
|
Perhaps quantum entanglement points at the ancient supposition that we are all connected - to oneness |
Quantum computers and the quantum properties of entanglement and the observer effect |
|
The conjecture that we come from a spiritual to physical existence |
Quantum Science’s entanglement teaches us to ‘learn to learn’ |
|
Questioning how much seemingly objective conclusions of science are psychologically biased by our times |
Examining the Nature of Science |
|
Why are human intention, desire, and wishes associated with flame and fire |
The biology, chemistry, and physics of flame and fire |
|
Our human view of falling affects our conception of gravity |
Gravity as seen as a force or as Einstein’s geometry of curved space |
|
Perhaps consciousness is ready to be studied by mainstream science |
Galileo and the attempt to bring in new ideas using the Scientific Method |
|
Using your heart - as in a fable - can offset a head-view of the world |
Properties of carbon dioxide |
|
How names, categories, and labels are necessary in science; but can affect you adversely |
Seeing an overview of all kinds of bread from the perspective of the organic categories of ingredients |
|
Step back to see whole pictures to come up with better perspectives on how nature works |
Organic matter oxidizes back to air while metals oxidize to become rock |
|
If very small amounts of some chemicals cause large changes in nature, perhaps the presence of some things matters more than we think |
The very small amounts of iron and other minerals that affect the health of trees |
|
#15 Trees, Rocks & Bones (The Lime Cycle) |
Perhaps the earth is actually a large, living being |
Iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium in nature’s cycles |
If our technology could imitate nature better, we may find ourselves transcending our current abilities |
Innovations in technology can make life truly better |
|
Symbiotic relationships among carbon-based life on earth |
Organic biochemistry of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in Photosynthesis |
|
The possibility of levity |
The physics of gravity, the biochemistry of trees |
|
Using the lens of wonder |
Some properties of water |
