You may write me down in History with your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
but still like dust I'll rise
I am leaving my job to become a physics teacher, tangent I know but the resultent force of wanting more training and previous life as a scientist. Having not left work yet but starting to swat up I am coming up with some brilliant (if I do say so myself) Physics/politics mash-ups!
Preiviously I have written about Political Red Shift and made some comments about our need for an Einstien like logic and imagination. This week I have been thinking about Maya Angelou, Corbyn and Natural Frequency.
So you know on cartoons where people sing and shatter glass, or do you know that marching soldiers break step to cross a bridge incase it breaks. Both of these effects are caused by the fact that matterials have a 'natural frequency' that is the particles vibrate at a certain frequency and if they are hit with a wave of the same frequency they start oscillating in a supper excited fasion to the point that the system shaters! (I'm not sure I've got Physics write there!)
However do watch this:
That's the power of something hitting a structures natural frequency. Why almost every time I do a workshop and hand people a range of poetry is it 'Still I rise' that is read out. Why is it every time I hear it read it sends chills down my spine. Why do so many women I have worked with having read it once carry it with them everywhere they go. Because it hits our natural frequency. And when something hits our natural frequency we begin to oscillate and the system we are emeshed in starts to strain, the edifice that is Patriarchy starts to crack, and will, as long as we continue having that natural frequency input, fall crashing down and we will be free little molecules.
Why is Jeremy Corbyn's campaign gathering so much momentum and energy. Why is it causing such anxiety to the structures around it? Natural frequency.
