 What is the literal translation of Feng
Shui?
A. North South
B. Wind Water
C. Light Dark
D. Earth Flow
Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system of
harmonizing everyone with the surrounding
environment. It is closely linked to Daoism. The term
feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English.

The feng shui practice

discusses architecture in
metaphoric terms of
"invisible forces" that bind
the universe, earth, and
humanity together, known
as qi. (or chi)
How many things can you think of that
require wave theory to fully describe?
Waves in General Specifically resonance
Water waves Standing waves in strings
Waves in strings and springs Musical instruments
Sound waves
 Was WiFi invented by Australias
CSIRO?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Sort Of
 Wi Fi
"CSIRO did not invent the concept of wireless LAN,
it just invented the best way of doing it, the best
way it's used now throughout the world

..tirelessly tested hundreds of techniques until it

found a "unique combination" that worked at high
speeds. Patents awarded in 1992 and 1996.

That combination involved multicarrier modulation

(also called OFDM) as well as two techniques
called "forward error-correcting" and "interleaving."
 Orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing OFDM

(OFDM) is a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies.

 What about Bluetooth?

 Bluetooth Fact or Fiction:
Bluetooth was named after a 10th
century Danish king, Harald Blatand

A. Fact

B. Fiction
 Bluetooth Fact or Fiction:
Hollywood starlet, Hedy Lamar
invented Bluetooth

A. Fact

B. Fiction

In what year did Hedy meet George in
a Hollywood bar?

A. 1939
B. 1940
C. 1941
D. 1942
 Bluetooth uses FHSS
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
Around the 2.4GH band
83MHz wide
Divided into 79 frequencies 1MHz wide
France, Japan and Spain only have 23 frequencies
1600 hops per second

Basically it is all communication by establishing resonance in

a receiver, then sending information superimposed on the
carrier wave from transmitter to receiver.

Relative phase control (0-360 degrees)
Two power amplifiers
Digital amplitude/volume control

We can use the Einstein LabMate+ with a voltage sensor connected to the output of
the Wave~Lab to display the different wave outputs.

Here Amplifier 1 is displaying Frequency 1, which is set to 5Hz.

We are using this to represent a carrier wave.
Amplifier 1 is now displaying Frequency 2, which is set to 100Hz.
We are using this as the signal (This could also be a microphone input).
Amplifier 1 is now displaying the addition of Frequency 1 and Frequency 2.
You can see the signal superimposed on the carrier wave.
 What About Sound Waves?

Can compression waves act as carrier waves?

Two dimensional standing wave in a circular membrane

Ear Drum?

What about 3 dimensional standing waves?

GRAVITY WAVES?

 So is everything explained by waves
and resonance?
All communication from speaking to wi-fi
Fibre optics? Electrical transmissions?
Everything we see, light, colour
Everything we hear
Everything we know about the universe, red shift, spectral analysis,
Doppler effect, gravity waves
Ocean waves, tsunamis
Earthquake waves
Microwaves
Medical imaging, x-rays, MRI, CAT scans, ultrasound

Everything we TOUCH??
What about Matter?
"Give me matter and motion, and I will
construct the universe."
-Ren Descartes (1596-1650)
Body as a Machine
 Modern Physics
Max Plank -Radiation is emitted in lumps called quanta
Light is emitted and absorbed in lumps, called photons
Waves have particle properties E=hf
Particles have wave properties; Louis de Broglie
Two point interference -wave-particle duality

 Airy disk
If monochromatic, coherent light
(laser light) of an appropriate
wavelength is projected onto a
screen containing a cirular aperture
of appropriate size, a screen on the
far side of the aperture will display
a bull's-eye (series of concentric
rings) known as an Airy disk

UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPAL
Eastern Mysticism
Hinduism
Buddhism
Confucianism
Taoism
Zen
others
Main Themes
Embracing of opposites
Impermanence
Unified oneness
(Brahman, Dharmakaya, Tao, Tathata (suchness)
Search for enlightenment
Seeing the world from a higher dimension
The this is also that. The
that is also this..

That the that and the this

cease to be opposites is the
very essence of Tao.
Chang Tzu

sympathetic)

competitive)

(Energy, Wave, Momentum,
continuous, non-existence)

SPACE/TIME

TIME,
(Matter, Particle, Position,
discrete, existence)
Higher Dimension
The fundamental idea of Buddhism is
to pass beyond the world of opposites, a
world built up by intellectual
distinctions and emotional defilements
and to realise the spiritual world of non-
distinction, which involves achieving an
absolute point of view.

D. T. Suzuki
One is led to a new notion of unbroken wholeness
which denies the classical idea of analyzability of
the world into separately and independently
existing parts . . . We have reversed the usual
classical notion that the independent elementary
parts of the world are the fundamental reality, and
that the various systems are merely particular
contingent forms and arrangements of these parts.
Rather, we say that inseparable quantum
interconnectedness of the whole universe is the
fundamental reality, and that relatively
independently behaving parts are merely
particular and contingent forms within this whole. David Bohm
Theoretical physics
 The Cosmic Web
Things derive their being and nature by
mutual dependence and are nothing in
themselves. Ancient Eastern Mystic

An elementary particle is not an

independently existing unanalyzable
entity. It is, in essence a set of
relationships that reach outward to other
things. Modern Atomic Physicist
COMPLEMENTARITY
When we try to describe the sub atomic world in
classical terms, such as position, momentum, energy,
we find that there are pairs of concepts which are
interrelated and cannot be defined simultaneously in
a precise way.

To understand this Niels Bohr introduced the notion of

complementarity.

He considered the particle picture and the wave

picture to be two complementary descriptions of the
same reality.

Quantum Mechanics
 If they were right about the nature of
reality, what else were they right about?

One God?
Good and evil?
Maths vs Nature?
The after life?
The humanity of God?
