From tiny dotted structures to vibrating strings and loops and branes............atomic theories have come a long way. But unfortunately schools and colleges continue to teach only the old theories and children are not even introduced to the new theories even at post graduation levels.
The new theories don't rule out the old ones . Rather, they simply refine the old theories further. The new ones are evolved keeping the old ones as the basis.
Time to aquaint yourselves and your children with the string theories of sub atomic particles ( each sub atomic particle is considered a loop of a tiny vibrating string and its vibrations affect the immediate environment / surroundings. And the strings are connected by branes in space. String theories and braines were introduced to explain multidimensions--beyond length, breadth and height.
In this new era , where we talk in terms of vibrations and frequencies, I think every person, every child should be aquainted with the new age atomic theories.
Here's some intro sites. Go thru them. Make children go thru them too. It will help expand minds. You will realise that everything around us--the living and the so called non-living sends out vibrations that effect matter around them...............which almost brings you to the question--"are the non-living" really "non-living"..........?
Islamic history has it that even stones saluted Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) besides trees and animals. How did a stone recognise the Prophet(pbuh) if it was dead ?
Practical science has always been slow as it calls for scientific proof for everything. Science first said trees do not have life coz they dont move. It was much later that science decided to include trees among the living. Then it said viruses dont have life. But now it says virus are a link between the dead and the living hinting at life inside a virus. So who or what's to decide whats the parameter for something to be considered alive ? In terms of vibrations, I would say everything has life in it albeit to a different degree perhaps.................??
