Iodine: Element of the Week

Iodine is one of the halogen gases along with chlorine, fluorine, astatine and bromine. Iodine is the heaviest and it is #53 on the periodic table. In regular conditions it appears purple-black in color. It's melting point is 386.85 K. It's
boiling point is 457.4 K. And it was discovered in 1811. It is an important micro-nutrient in the human diet and is readily available in seaweeds.

Explaining Connectivity: The One Particle Theory

The article we got in class: "Plants seen doing quantum physics" is an interesting exploration into Connectivity. The way plants are tied together through their root systems is a nice visible example of day to day connectivity.

One memorable example of Connectivity that I learned about a few years back pertains to an idea that can be called: The One Particle Theory. This one particle is called the Prime Radiant. This particle moves so fast through space that it appears simultaneously as everything in the measurable universe. It's not just the same kind of particle appearing everywhere, but in fact it is the same one particle. This Prime Radiant concept was put forth by an ET being by the name of Bashar. Visit bashar.org for more info.

Evidence for Synchronicity

The evidence for synchronicity is in the eyes of the beholder. Those who understand what synchronicity means and are looking for it will see it all day long while interacting with the outside
world. With this type of consciousness one is able to realize that one generates one's own synchronicities. A rational process often becomes visible. We end up finding ourselves over and over again through these synchronistic experiences.

Physics Week 2: Reflections on Uncertainty

Uncertainty is a broad and interesting topic.
Physics looks at this concept from different
angles, depending on the context.
In relation to the Uncertainty Principle, aka Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, you have something rather logical going on. This principle
speaks to the idea that the position of an object
and the momentum of an object can not both be
known at the same time. 

Actually this is one of those principles, when considered logically, can be grasped and understood with one's own eyes. Unlike many other physical science principles, technology is not required to figure this out. Though it can be appreciated that Heisenberg did need some technological support when this principle was first being worked out.

Physics Week Two: Causality Considerations

To me causality represents why things are the way they are. Causal relationships are logical relationships. Inputs create outputs. What is now called epigenetics is an interesting way of evaluating human health from a deeper understanding of causality. In the Matrix three part movie series there were interesting moments that addressed causality. The characters in the Matrix simulation tried to explain to the human characters why they were being enslaved. And the main reason given in Matrix Reloaded (part two) pertained to humans' lack of understanding of causality. 

Week 2 Chemistry - Carbon Footprint Consideration

I am sorry but I am not one of those people who believes that CO2 leaves behind a footprint with the implication that this footprint is some sort of problem. I see CO2 is part of the life cycle and geological cycle of this planet. Other kinds of carbon molecules like carbon monoxide can be problematic. When a gas is released only by human technologies and otherwise does not exist in nature, that could be a problem. However, plants thrive from CO2 and I want plants to thrive. I do not see CO2 as a problem.

Last week I was on the Big Island of Hawaii with all of it's volcanoes. I walked inside one of the Kilauea craters that was still gassing. Of course last year Kilauea released a bunch of lava. If CO2 and other Earth derived gases were bad for the Earth, the Earth would not be releasing them. 

When talking about human pollution, I do not think including CO2 in that discussion is wise. The discussion should be focused on toxic waste footprints.

Meaning of Time: Monochronic vs. Polychronic

When these two approaches to time (M-Time & P-Time) are contrasted, one gets a sense of the cultural influences that infuse these two approaches. The M-Time obsession with structure and protocols as seen in military organizations for example speaks to how people can be "bent" into submission through the use of trauma based mind control. It also interesting how M-Time influences people through superficial methods of marketing and hype. People are asked to believe in something or someone without knowing what is really going on. 

In P-Time things certainly take longer. Deliberation is more thorough. People first must get to know one another. Trust is earned through face time interactions or at least through genuine communication mediated by technology. In P-Time ribbons, metals and trophies will not due. Work and careers develop people in emotionally tangible & significant ways. Cryptocurrency and open source software are examples of P-Time labor.

B-Corps, some charter schools and worker owned co-operatives are examples of P-Time organizations. C-corps, S-corps and military departments are some examples of P-time organizations. Although both are necessary, the prevalence of P-Time organizations on this planet has probably led to an excessive amount of trauma. 

In P-time people are obsessed with outcomes and are usually attached to a certain outcome in pretty much all of their affairs. In M-time there is more of an emphasis in doing one's best and following one's excitement. Outcomes are still important, but they are not the priority.

Vadim's Bio 2019 Version

My name is Vadim Rozengurt. I was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1974 and immigrated to the United States with my family in 1978. I went to grade school mostly in San Francisco and was into breakdancing, baseball cards and skateboarding as a kid. I was lucky enough to attend the SF Jewish Community Center for summer camp and daycare and there I was introduced to a lot of different sports and camping. My dad was an oceanographer, so I was exposed to a lot of coastal and marine settings growing up.


I graduated high school in 1992 in Concord, CA. During the 1990s I experimented with all sorts of projects and studies. The Dotcom / WWW opportunities got my attention and so I worked in that world for awhile. During the 1990s I also got into house music and the related events. And during the middle of the 1990s I was introduced to superfoods and tonic herbs for the first time.


As the Dotcom hype slowed down I got interested in aeronautical technologies, which led me to joining the US Air Force Reserves in 2001. Once 9-11-2001 happened I started doing a bunch of research into that event and realized we were not being told the whole story. Politicians were lying. Doing the research led me to quitting the USAF in 2002. Then I joined AmeriCorps in 2002 and that took me on a journey of working with K-12 youth from 2002 to 2008. During this time I got a BA degree with a Health Science focus at John F. Kennedy University and started my MBA program in the same school.


In 2008 my friends and I started a business called Materia Prima. This business was mostly about
entertainment related events, and we even dabbled with a clothing line called: Meow & Zen. In 2009 I got my first dog with my then partner and in 2010 we ended up moving to Oakland's Glenview neighborhood to be closer to nature settings. To make a long story short, in 2010 I started studying permaculture, which got me deeper into herbs and led me to getting a job as a nutrition consultant at The Food Mill in Oakland in 2012. I also started my current Nucleus Nutrition business in 2012.


Suffice it to say, I stayed at The Food Mill until 2015 and eventually in 2016 I found ACCHS. I still have my Nucleus Nutrition business and I am now doing my best to integrate all of these experiences for the best.
