Actually, we need not speak of particles at all. For many experiments it is more convenient to speak of matter waves... The two pictures are of course.

Forces and Interactions The Cosmos Within Forces and Interactions Aileen O’Donoghue July 20 – 21, 2018

The Incarnation “The Word was coming into the world – Was in the world – and though the world was made through the Word, the world didn’t recognize it. Though the Word came to its own realm, the Word’s own people didn’t accept it. And the Word became flesh and stayed for a little while among us;” John 1:9-11,14 The Inclusive New Testament

Inspirited Bodies “As we are inspirited bodies – living, loving, thinking bodies – so, imagining God in our image (for how else can we model God?), we speak of her as the inspirited body of the entire universe, the animating, living spirit that produces, guides and saves all that is.” Sally McFague, The Body of God (p.20)

Bodies Interacting: Forces Defined by Isaac Newton Stuff Coasts (it takes a force to change motion) Stopping takes as much force as starting Force changes an object’s velocity (speed or direction) Straight ahead at same speed easiest Stuff pushes back (forces are always mutual and equal) Same force acts on both objects If we knew the position and velocity of every particle in the universe at one time, we could predict their motions forever!

Gravity Try to push it away! All matter attracts all other matter … Earth pulls on us, we pull on Earth just as hard! We can see ourselves as either Stuck to Earth as it orbits the sun. OR Orbiting the sun with Earth stuck to our feet. Try to push it away!

Gravity: Fun with Your Mind! Lie down on the grass (or a chase lounge … maybe with a Gin & Tonic) Look “up” at the stars … Try to see yourself on the “bottom” of the Earth looking “down” at the stars held to the ground only by the bonds of gravity … which is the truth! Weird? It gets weirder …

The Quantum Mechanical Universe Light is an electromagnetic wave…

Light Interacts As A Wave Light shows interference (addition of waves) and diffraction (bending around corners) like water waves. + + = = crest + trough = zilch! Stripes between almost touching fingers! trough + trough crest + crest

Light Interacts As A Wave Light shows interference (addition of waves) and diffraction (bending around corners) like water waves. + + = = Stripes between almost touching fingers! But that’s not ALL light is …

Particles and Waves Waves vs. Particles passing through slits incoming waves incoming particles Waves add crest to crest & trough to trough (constructive  light spots) Particles pile up under each slit. Waves add crest to trough (destructive  dark spots) Sequence of bright and dark spots. Two bright spots.

Light Acts As A Particle Hale-Bopp APOD 4/1/97 Light pushes dust out of the solar system like a stream of particles. Ion tail shaped by solar magnetic field. Dust tail shaped by sunlight pushing dust away from the sun.

Wave-Particle Duality Light is a wave AND a particle! Exists as both natures … until it interacts with matter. Manifests one nature appropriate to the interaction. Becomes a particle hitting comet dust. Becomes a wave passing through a slit. How can it be BOTH at ONCE? We don’t know … but it is!

Wave-Particle Duality Electrons act like particles (CRT’s) sweeping e- beam creates TV pictures e-’s collide with phosphorescent molecules knock molecules into excited state light emitted when molecule falls to lower state

Wave-Particle Duality Electrons act like waves Quantum Tunneling Energy barrier (insulator) reflects particles waves penetrate High energy waves exist everywhere … can find position beyond barrier like oranges spontaneously leaving fruit bowl but oranges are too big! … only subatomic particles do this! Lower energy

The Structure of Matter Quantum Tunneling Tunneling probability tiny for even side Increases for lower energy on far side

The Structure of Matter Flash Memory Storing (No Power) Both sides at same energy low probability of tunneling 2/3 of charge leaks off in 100 years (Prob. of any e- tunneling ~10-23) Writing/Erasing (With Power) One side at lower power increase probability of tunneling 2/3 of charge leaks off in -second (Prob. of any e- tunneling ~10-5)

Wave-Particle Duality Matter is a wave AND a particle! Exists as both natures … until it interacts with matter. Manifests one nature appropriate to the interaction. Becomes a particle hitting TV screen. Becomes a wave in Flash memory. How can it be BOTH at ONCE? We don’t know … but it is!

Sin-Grace Duality But amazingly, when we find our root sin, we will also find our root grace. Our root grace is the same energy of our root sin channeled in a positive direction. The root sin and the root grace are linked. -Paul Coutinho, SJ, Just as You Are How can they share a root? We don’t know … but they do!

Wave-Particle Duality “The essential marvel of the divine milieu is the ease with which it assembles and harmonizes within itself qualities which appear to us to be contradictory.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin The Divine Milieu OK … light is weird … but what about matter?

The Structure Of Matter … at the Subatomic Scale Protons & Neutrons in Nucleus are made of Quarks held together dynamically by the exchange of gluons. Gluons are active, like springs. … but fuzzier

Quarks: Fundamental Constituents of Matter Quark! Quark! Quarks cannot exist alone Decay if alone Carry 1/3 or 2/3 of an electric charge Exist only in relationship to other quarks to create protons, neutrons, atoms, …, all matter Matter, at its most fundamental level, must exist in relationship to exist at all!

Beatrice Bruteau: God’s Ecstasy God Exists as “The One.” Absolute, Infinite, Necessary to all other existence, Exists in every possible way of being … … must also exist as “The Many.” God, the Ground of All Being, must exist in relationship to exist at all.

God: The Ground of All Being Beatrice Bruteau “Being is really Be-ing; it is not really a noun but a verb. ... To-exist is dynamic, not static.” “Dynamic be-ing means more-being, being more. Endlessly more. Every kind of “more.” Being must be both one and many.”

The Universe is God’s Ecstasy Beatrice Bruteau “The Trinity is both one and many; Being is present there as Persons; the Persons are necessary and infinite; the Persons are both enstatic and ecstatic; and the Persons are Being-communicating” The Universe is God’s Ecstasy

Hymn to Matter “I bless you, matter, and you I acclaim: not as the pontiffs of science or the moralizing preachers depict you … but as you reveal yourself to me today, in your totality and your true nature …

Hymn to Matter I acclaim you as the diving milieu, charged with creative power, as the ocean stirred by the Spirit, as the clay molded and infused with life by the incarnate Word.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin https://beautysurroundsyou.photoshelter.com/image/I0000M7p5NAY4cWs

God is the dance, itself.” Trinity Perichoresis = Dancing Developed by “Eastern Fathers” Didymous the Blind (313-398) Basil the Great (329-379) Gregory of Nazianzus (325-389) “Whatever is going on in God is a flow that’s like a dance and God is not a dancer, God is the dance, itself.” - Richard Rohr

Perichoresis: Divine Dance Relationship is the theology of the Trinity God for us – Father: Total Giving God with us – Son: invites us into the dance God within us – Holy Spirit: allows someone else to love through us – participation in God “Whatever is happening in God cannot be just an inner, hidden secret. It has to be reflected in the outer universe” - Catherine LaCugna © Copyright, Dr. Aileen O’Donoghue, St. Lawrence University

The universe dances. God IS the dance. So dance! So what have we learned? The universe dances. God IS the dance. So dance!

My Dancing Day Traditional English Carol (c. 1400-1700) Tomorrow shall be my dancing day, I would my true love would so chance To see the legend of my play, To call my true love to my dance Then was I born to a virgin pure. From her I took fleshy substance. Thus was I knit to human nature To call my true love to my dance. In a manger laid and wrapped I was, So very poor this was my chance. Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass To call my true love to my dance. Then later on baptized I was. The holy ghost on me did glance. The Father’s voice heard from above, To call my true love to my dance. Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love, my love, This have I done for my true love.

Dance with the Universe In every breath, every touch, every perception, matter & energy interact in space and time in the universe … Your body is dancing with the universe … Let your spirit dance with the universe and God!
