There are at least four forms of natural interactions or forces in the universe. Learning how we interact with these forces will help us understand how we survive on this planet.
The human body interacts with the forces of nature actively from the day of conception until the day when the physiological systems stop functioning. However, this subject is seldom studied systematically and poorly applied in medicine as we are more inclined to treat the symptoms and let the homoeostasis (i.e., the calibration of human body with the forces of nature) restore by itself. I see that the knowledge about the interaction of these forces of nature with human anatomical structures and physiological processes will provide us key insights to recover from diseased states in a more informed way and in fact, such knowledge will help us understand how we can survive outside our earthly comfort zone as well.
With regards to the forces of nature, I will continue to use the word ‘force’ rather than ‘interaction’ for convenience as some scientists would prefer the other way around.
Human beings interact with at least four forms of forces which are:
- Gravitation,
- Electro-Magnetism,
- Strong interactive force and
- Weak interactive force.
While the gravitational force can be felt explicitly in a macro environment, the rest of these natural forces are subtle to be felt. Our human body interacts in both macro and micro environments with all of these forces of nature to maintain homoeostasis. We have various complex physiological systems that regulate us with these forces in our atmosphere to help us survive through our life span. I will discuss these human regulatory systems in the following pages.
