The Structure of Matter

An interesting experiment with varying degrees of angular placement of a powerful green laser (~ 200-milliwatt), a glossy surface (in this case, a black plastic speaker playing music). The song is called "We Meet At Last" by "Liquid Stranger". Technically, the reflected laser light forms what is referred to as "diffraction patterns", however the phenomena is a bit more complex than this. Clearly, you can see the molecular structure of the polypropylene begin to vivify due to the intense heat of the 200mw beam. When this is coupled with music, the vibrations caused by the music seem to influence this process. The result is nothing short of incredible to watch. It's as if you are witnessing the emergence of universe, its evolutionary expansion and eventual contraction. Once you become accustomed to "fine tuning" the angle and power of the laser, you will be able to visually navigate a three-dimensional projection of the process, on many different scales.

Dr. William B. Allen - concluding remarks at the Indian Child Welfare Act "Teach-In" Oct. 28, 2011

Indian Children: Citizens, not Cultural Artifacts - Are Some Children's Lives Destroyed by ICWA? Indian Child Welfare Act "Teach-In" Friday, October 28, 2011, Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Hearing Room, Wash, DC Keynote speaker: Dr. William B. Allen - Emeritus Professor, Political Science, MSU and former Chair of the US Commission on Civil Rights (1989) Across America, children who had never been near a reservation nor involved in tribal customs - including multi-racial children with extremely minimal blood quantum - have been removed from homes they know and love and placed with strangers chosen by tribal social services. The Indian Child Welfare Act was passed in 1978 in effort to help prevent Native-American tribes and families from losing children to non-Native homes through foster care and adoption. Though well-intentioned, the Act is now harming children all across the country as courts and tribes place culture and tribal sovereignty above children's basic needs for permanency and stability. Listen as the constitutionality of an Act that limits placement options and delays permanency for many of our nation's most vulnerable children is discussed. 1) Some Children have been removed from safe, loving homes and placed into dangerous situations. 2) Some families, Indian and non-Indian, have felt threatened by tribal government. Some have had to mortgage homes and endure lengthy legal processes to protect their children. 3) Equal opportunities for adoption, safety ...
