Nature's Rules—As Old as the Hills

Our human connection with Nature and Science can be directly experienced through our own individual body—a body that we don't just have as a possession, but a body that we are—as a way of being in the world.

Modern day posture and innate posture are very different. One is an adaptation, something contrived, while the other is as old as the hills.

This episode focuses on the relationship between old-as-the-hills Nature and its relationship with Science, which, it can be argued, always existed even before humans came along and discovered it, building a language and field of study around it. It's in these and countless other ways that Nature and Science converge and overlap. It's easy to think of Nature and Science as being very different from each other. Nature is all about magnificence, mystery and splendor, while Science is precise, factual, and predictable.

This episode includes a guided exercise for experiencing Ground Reaction Force, a scientific phenomenon that relates to Newton's Third Law of Motion.
