Why Self-Awareness Is The First Step Toward Empathy

To better understand others, we must first better understand ourselves. Self-awareness feeds into empathy.

Perspective-Taking on “Momentum” in Physics & Metaphysics

Momentum was momentum, whether you found it in music or on the street or in the beat of your own heart. – Michael Connelly Definition Momentum can be defined as mass in motion. All objects have mass and when the object is moving, then it has momentum i.e. it has its mass in motion. Momentum in a simple way is a quantity of motion. Momentum is generally used to mean increasing forward…

Perspective-Taking on “Relativity” in Physics & Metaphysics

“Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll. It does not mean that everything in life is relative.”― Albert Einstein Definition According to Britannica; Relativity, wide-ranging physical theories formed by the German-born physicist Albert Einstein. With his theories of special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1915), Einstein overthrew many assumptions underlying earlier…

Perspective-Taking on “Work & Energy” in Physics & Metaphysics

Definition Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done on an object when an applied force moves it through a distance. The concepts of work and energy are closely tied to the concept of force because an applied force can do work on an object and cause a change in energy. Energy should be transferred to an object in order to move it. Transferring energy can be in the form of force.…

Perspective-Taking on “Speed & Velocity” in Physics & Metaphysics

Definition In our everyday language, speed and velocity means the same thing but in physics there is an important distinction. That’s make a fundamental difference to the way this is used from a physics point of view in the way in our everyday applications. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica; Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and…

Perspective-Taking on “Light & Sound” in Physics & Metaphysics

I hear beyond the range of sound,I see beyond the range of sight,New earths and skies and seas around,And in my day the sun doth pale his light. – Henry David Thoreau Definition We receive what we perceive through our eyes. The vision of eye is the perception of light. Vision is light. Hence to comprehend the nature of human vision, an understanding of the properties of light is necessary and…

Perspective-Taking on “MOTION” in Physics & Metaphysics

“As long as I stared at the clock, at least the world remained in motion. Not a very consequential world, but in motion nonetheless. And as long as I knew the world was still in motion, I knew I existed. Not a very consequential existence, but an existence nonetheless. It struck me as wanting that someone should confirm his own existence only by the hands of an electric wall clock. There had to…
