Kerri Welch, Ph.D. A Fractal Topology of Time
12/22/23 Release
In Episodes 40 and 41 we explore Dr Kerri Welch's book, A Fractal Topology of Time: Deeping into Timelessness.
In Episode 40, we focus on the quantum mechanical concepts of fractals, wave function collapse, and entropy. If you are not interested in exploring the podcast from a scientific perspective, we would like to encourage you to sense into the stories that we're telling. See what arises for you as you're listening to the back and forth of the discussion. See how we dance with these quantum mechanical concepts as they play with our notions of experience, awareness, and self awareness.
See below for the image of the Koch snowflake that we discuss in this Episode.
In Episode 41, we utilize these quantum mechanical concepts to explore our sense of the past, present, and future experiences and how they manifest within us. As we oscillate between satisfaction and desire, we also have the potential to feel different manifestations of time. And from this, we can begin to explore the differences between life as a separation from things and life as a journey that is unfolding.
Kerri Welch got her degree from California Institute of Integral Studies, and is a philosopher of time, mind, and physics. Kerri continues to teach at CIIS in the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness and resides much of the year on the Washington State Peninsula.
Kerri has an incredible way of explaining quantum mechanical concepts that lets us explore different ways of experiencing time. Especially as we move across different dimensions of scale and different structures of consciousness.
In the podcasts we talk about the Koch snowflake as a example of a fractal curve. We can build a Koch snowflake from an equilateral triangle by:
- dividing the line segment into three segments of equal length.
- drawing an equilateral triangle that has the middle segment from step 1 as its base and points outward.
- removing the line segment that is the base of the triangle from step 2.
The Koch snowflake is the limit approached as the above steps are followed indefinitely (from Wikipedia).
