It departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic and subatomic length scales. Quantum mechanics provides a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter. Quantum mechanics provides a substantially useful framework for many features of the modern periodic table of elements including the behavior of atoms during chemical bonding and has played a significant role in the development of many modern technologies.

ESSENCE OF YOU

es·sence  (sns)

n.

1. The intrinsic or indispensable properties that serve to characterize or identify something.
2. The most important ingredient; the crucial element.
3. The inherent, unchanging nature of a thing or class of things.
4.

a. An extract that has the fundamental properties of a substance in concentrated form.
b. Such an extract in a solution of alcohol.
c. A perfume or scent.
5. One that has or shows an abundance of a quality as if highly concentrated: a neighbor who is the essence of hospitality.
6. Something that exists, especially a spiritual or incorporeal entity.
[Middle English essencia and French essence, both from Latin essentia, from esse, to be, from the presumed present participle *essns, *essent- (on the model of differentia, difference, from differns, different-, present participle of differre, to differ), created to translate Greek ousi (from ousa, feminine present participle of einai, to be); see es- in Indo-European roots.]

THOUGHT VIBRATION

William Walker Atkinson was the original author of the “Law of Attraction” in 1906.  His ideas have been borrowed, adapted and altered by hundreds of “self-help” and “get rich quick” gurus, many of whom have become wealthy as teachers of his ideas.  Here is a YouTube video of the Free audio recording by Librivox.com of his original book on the subject, “Thought Vibration, or The Law of Attraction in the Thought World“.

“When we come to see that Thought is A Force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of
attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed
dark to us.”    ~ William Walker Atkinson, 1906

COMPUTER GODDESS

As “science” has become the unofficial “religion” of Western “civilization” in the 21st Century it is only right and fitting that we should create aesthetic images and mythology about the “divinities” of science.  And, as our civilization, and perhaps our entire universe, is manipulated by computer programming it is only fitting that we worship the “Goddess of Computers”.

Ada Lovelace - pgmrAugusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer. Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate child of the poet George Lord Byron and his wife Anne Isabella Milbanke (“Annabella”), Lady Wentworth.

As a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to an ongoing working relationship and friendship with fellow British mathematician Charles Babbage, also known as ‘the father of computers’, and in particular, Babbage’s work on the Analytical Engine. Lovelace first met him in June 1833, through their mutual friend, and her private tutor, Mary Somerville. Between 1842 and 1843, Ada translated an article by Italian military engineer Luigi Menabrea on the engine, which she supplemented with an elaborate set of notes, simply called Notes. These notes contain what many consider to be the first computer program—that is, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine.
