Karma

“What goes around comes around”

This saying has been backed up by the Bible with "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." -Matthew 7:12

But does it have scientific explanation?

Well, in my humble opinion (IMHO) it can explained by The First Law of Thermodynamics or Law of Conservation of Energy, wherein energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The sum of all the energies in the system is constant.

So, let’s take a person as the system, if you exert your energy into hatred, well you’ll get hatred in return.

Simple right ;)

But energy can be converted from one form to another, then convert all those hatred into love.

Now we know why life is full of shit, we better change ourselves first before we expect the world to be a better place.

I know it’s not easy but wouldn’t it be a waste otherwise?

And since we are on the topic of energy, let me give you a simple run down of the kinds of energy:

Potential Energy – the energy that an object has as the result of its position or state. Some forms of potential energy include chemical, elastic, gravitational, magnetic, etc.

Kinetic Energy – the energy that appears in the form of an object’s motion. Some forms of kinetic energy include sound, electrical, light, etc.

Instability

Unstable life, unstable work, unstable relationship…why oh why?

Don’t know why either.

Maybe we could learn something at microscopic viewpoint.

As mentioned before, naturally electrons are unstable, except for inert gases, you’ll learn later why.

But first let me introduce you first to a very important tool – The Periodic Table!

(this is only a part of Periodic Table since I just took a print screen, if you want the complete version get it from www.ptable.com )

The number of electrons an element has depends on the atomic number. It is the number that is usually placed as superscript.

So Hydrogen H has one valence electron, Helium He has 2 and so on.

The first energy level must be filled with 2 electrons to be stable, then the following energy levels must have 8 electrons.


So basically only those inert gases (on the most right side column) are stable and the rest of the elements seek their destined partners.
