How has e=mc2 affected you?
Mostly, the idea of this equation has affected my way of thinking. There is so much energy is a single particle of dust. If the sun can burn for millions of years without running out of fuel, shouldn't we be able to solve the big "energy crisis" that is going on in the world right now? It seems so simple, and personally I would never be able to figure out how to do it. One day, one day...
How would you compare the four "forces" ?
The four forces have just that in common- they are all forces. They are all part of the great "that which is" , part of the unbroken wholeness that is the universe. They relate to each other in this way, although from what I've read, gravity is the one that is vastly different from the other three. All of these forces effect things with their energy field. We don't always think of energy fields when we think of interactions in the world. If it's not matter a Rube Goldberg-machine-type-model, then does it exist? I still have much to learn about the four forces!
What is the function of gravity?
The function of gravity is to keep us grounded! And to remind us that we are all on top of the same planet. I remember doing qi gong exercises, where you imagine roots growing deep into the soil and connecting to the center of the earth. This was always such a powerful reminder of what gravity is. It can be such a wonderfully calming force.

i like your thoughts about gravity, particularly how you relate it to being grounded. seems so basic, right?! but i hadn't thought about it that way before. also, i appreciate that you brought qi gong into the picture- could we even practice qi gong without gravity? or would we need to create a completely different system that related to weightlessness? hmmm...
You are so right...! If there is so much energy in a little particle of dust and the sun is burning on and on, it does seem kind of funny that we are in an energy crisis! I guess we just need to keep thinking on this one. It feels like the answer is staring us right in the face (literally...every day...solar power!).

I am breathing a sigh of relief after reading "the four force are part of that which is".
yes, i totally agree on your idea on gravity. groundedness. so simple. no wonder it is so different from the other forces.
