"Question the priorities and approaches of mainstream western medicine through the lens of a more holistic approach to health."

"Understand the connection between body, mind, energy, and spirit and how the interplay between these impact health and disease."

"Intelligently address the concerns of those afraid of alternative medicine or skeptical about its efficacy. "

Wow, this sounds like a nice university...

Comment AGE vs SIZE of the unverse (Score 3, Interesting) 196

I am surprised to see so many comments without even one mentioning the difference between the AGE of the Universe (13.7 billion l.y. ) and the SIZE of the observable universe (radius 47 billion l.y.).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

From the Wiki Article:
  The age of the Universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years. While it is commonly understood that nothing travels faster than light, it is a common misconception that the radius of the observable universe must therefore amount to only 13.7 billion light-years. This reasoning makes sense only if the Universe is the flat spacetime of special relativity; in the real Universe, spacetime is highly curved on cosmological scales, which means that 3-space (which is roughly flat) is expanding, as evidenced by Hubble's law. Distances obtained as the speed of light multiplied by a cosmological time interval have no direct physical significance.[11]

So, the light from this Galaxy actually traveled more than 13.7 billion years (I don't know how to make the conversion but probably around 45 billion ?)
