My Meteorite

My Meteorite

I believe this is a small meteorite; I found it in a creek from the water-shed of Mt. Baker Wa.

HOW WE KNOW

How is it that we can know color, music, time, feelings, and the many other things we know?

The mechanics are simple; the organs of sense combined with the brain. Yet knowing goes far beyond.

In science knowledge is based on repetetive experience; and so it is for us too.

TIME

As we live here on Earth our reference points to establish our understanding of time are basically the motions of the Earth,and Sun.

Now, if we are to venture out into the far reaches of the universe what reference points will we use to calculate first the motion of our own craft,and second the units of time used for such calculations.

The apparent velocity of electromagnetic waves and photons of light through the vacumm of ??empty?? space is thought to be the standard for measurement of distance.

The vibrational frequency of certain crystals under a certain amount of direct pressure within a total vacumm will give a standard for the measuement of time.

A triangulated initial point of departure would be the first point of reference.
