| Re: An Idea THE IMAGE: The I Ching image represents the five classical elements, plus three. The five classical elements are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether, which I believe represents the five states of matter, namely. Solid, Liquid, Plasma, Gas, and Ether. The I Ching also have these states mentioned as; Earth, Water, Fire, Wind ( air ), and Heaven ( ether ). The additional three mentioned in the I Ching are Mountain, Thunder, and Lake. These states of matter are necessary for the universe that we live in. Again these states are part of the eight internal areas of my Idea of the Proton/Neutron. Remember the I Ching represents change as the states of matter can change it states. |
