The power of the INVISIBLE
24
The wavefunction expands

• In a hundred years we have increased the amount
  of electromagnetic signals on the planets surface
  100 million times
• Electro-pollution is invisible the smog of
  human tele-communication

25
Reducing the human body to a solid mass of
neutrons and protons would result something that
would be around 500 nm is length. i.e. around a
hundredth of the thickness of a human hair. So
one see how much space and nothing a human body
contains
26
Waves and Connections

• The wave theory that surrounds us has manifested
  itself more and more in science
• nanometer scale vibrations in living cells.
  Gimzewski discovered this in yeast cells which
  vibrate in the audible spectrum and that there is
  a lot of nano-motion in cells.
• Difference between waves and matter is that waves
  connect to each other, they are the result of
  energy and connection

27
Music Based Theories

• Quantum mechanics was developed using theories
  applied to musical instruments to describe the
  electrons as waves.
• string theory the elementary particles could be
  thought of as the "musical notes" or excitation
  modes of elementary strings.
• If string theory is to be a theory of quantum
  gravity, then the average size of a string should
  be somewhere near the length scale of quantum
  gravity, called the Planck length, which is about
  10-33 centimeters, or about a millionth of a
  billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a
  centimeter. the strings are way too small to see
  by current or expected particle physics

Environmental damage, climate change, rapid
population growth, and unwise political choices
were all factors in the demise of these
societies, but other societies found solutions
and persisted.

Available fresh water amounts to less than half
of one percent of all the water on Earth. The
rest is seawater or polar ice. Fresh water is
renewable only by rainfall.
31
Global consumption of water is doubling every 20
years - more than twice the rate of human
population growth. According to the United
Nations, more than one billion people on Earth
already lack access to fresh drinking water. If
current trends persist, by 2025 the demand for
fresh water will rise by 56 percent and as many
as two-thirds of the world's population will be
living with serious water shortages or absolute
water scarcity.
32
"water will be to the 21st century what oil was
to the 20th." Who owns water and how much they
are able to charge for it will become the
question of the century. The privatization of
water is already a 400-billion-a-year business.

Up to 60 percent of the human body is water,
the brain is composed of 70 percent water, and
the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83
percent of our blood is water, which helps digest
our food, transport waste, and control body
temperature. Each day humans must replace 2.4
litres of water, some through drinking and the
rest taken by the body from the foods eaten.

THE MISSION OF THE ART SCI CENTERTo pursue,
facilitate and promote research and programs that
demonstrate the potential of media arts and
science collaborations. Media artists and
scientists from the home campus, UCLA, from the
UC system, the national and international
communities will approach the center's intention
to address ethical, social and environmental
issues of contemporary scientific innovations and
artistic projects that respond to cutting-edge
inventions and research.

Characterization of the beating burst (BB)
spectral characteristics of the heartbeat during
the 0-50, 50-75 and 75-83 D stages. 0-50D stage
characterized by one BB per 2 hour period.
spectrogram reveals several overtones (7) above
the principle frequency which reaches a maximum
of 0.52 0.03 Hz. maximum rms amplitude during
the BB is 2.66 0.15 mm as seen in the time
series data below (scale bar 50 mm). typical
BB lasts for 15 3 min, FFT slices are measured
at five points along the burst corresponding to
specific burst fractions (bf) between 0 and 1.0,
where 0 is the beginning and 1.0 is the end of
the burst. FFTs at bf 0, 0.5 and 1.0 are shown
and the FFT slice at bf 0.5 clearly displays
several overtones. (the axis shown for bf 1.0
has a logarithmic amplitude scale in mm).
