  Rhythm of the Universe     The previous discussion on spirit and science concluded that spirit is fundamentally unquantifiable and subjective—except in the direct experience of stillness. If many people were to encounter the same state of quietude, which is exceedingly rare, it might lend a degree of objectivity to such experiences, and perhaps in the future we may even find ways to measure them. Science, however, clearly shows that the rhythm of the universe is rooted in cycles of retribution. A star exhausts its fuel, and the retribution is its explosion in the form of a supernova. The next cycle of retribution is the coalescence of its scattered matter into the building blocks of new cosmic phenomena. Every action generates a reaction, and all of this is measurable through modern science. Humans, as part of nature, are subject to these same universal laws: action begets reaction. Yet in our case the reaction is not always measurable. It is often subjective, though i...

  James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam ( Near-Infrared Camera ) unveils intricate details of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), and shows the expanding shell of material slamming into the gas shed by the star before it exploded. The Physics of Metaphysics    Discussion with AI  Keep in mind that the essence of all discussions is always about the Buddha. W hat happens when a star burns through its nuclear fuel,  collapses  and explodes in a supernova? I want to understand this process in terms of centripetal and  centrifugal  forces.    When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, the delicate balance between gravity and internal pressure is lost, leading to a catastrophic collapse and, for sufficiently massive stars, a supernova explosion. While the term "centrifugal force" is often used colloquially to describe the sensation of being pushed outward in a rotating system, from a physics perspective,  it's  not a true forc...
