#1 Paranormal experience/Chandian Effect
About four years ago my grandmother passed away of cancer, sadly her last moments were in our living room. Last year, I remember being at my alone, during a small earthquake. Afterwards, I inspected the house making sure that nothing had been knocked over. A picture frame had fallen from the wall unit, landing face down and was in the center of the living room. This picture fame held a photo of my grandmother, it was the only frame that had an angel statue in front of it to hold it in place. Although the earthquake was to blame for the fallen picture frame, it struck me as to why only that photo had fallen even though it was blocked by the angel statue. The Chandian effect is explained by viewing something but is projected by yourself. This experience may have been just projected by myself as a message from my grandmother who had passed away in the same room.
#2 Astrological sign
My astrological sign is a Libra. I do believe this pertains to myself because it is known for Libras to balance obstacles. Although many other people can agree to balance their daily lives, I find myself advising peers how to balance their lives and finding a day to themselves. Even in situations of arguments between my sisters, I am the one who finds the balance of showing them both of each other’s point of view. I do believe that we pick and choose what we want our signs to correspond to ourselves, only to please our desires.
#3 Intelligent alien
If an intelligent alien did indeed visit this planet and came over to your house, I think the alien would find our way of living odd. In the sense of how we need money to make the world round. The commitment of finding career and making a living to provide for one another. In my house, there is a total of seven of us and we all have completely different schedule because of work and school. Aliens may find us odd because we are not living our lives, we are living to have an income.

#1 Vegetarianism
People are vegetarians for many reasons, including concern for personal health and compassion for animals. Realizing that our future generation may look upon us one day in disgrace changed my view in consuming animals on a daily bases. I agree with vegetarians, so I am taking small steps in not consuming animals, I’ll start off by choosing one day then slowly and hopefully increase to more days. It has been difficult with just one day but a small step may make a difference. Vegetarians are healthier and are at a lower risk of developing any diseases, my proof would be our professor David Lane, he has been a vegetarian for forty plus years are he is the most active person I know for his age.
#2 Remainder conjecture
As explained in the film, the remainder conjecture is the exhaustion of any and all physical explanation before leaping into irrational events. Facts are proven by science and if it is beyond science reach then it is considered as a remainder. For example, the planet Pluto was considered a planet for years because of the scientific manners but once science was no longer to prove for it, then it was disclaimed as a planet (remainder).
#3 A grain of wild rice
Gaining knowledge that humans are genetically connected to a grain of wild rice, impacts our world as equals. In California, we praise people’s diversity as being unique and learn from one another. If the world were to realize that all humans are genetically connected then perhaps a strong bond would form. In other parts of the world people see differently from others diversity, it is viewed as a superior act. Bottom line we are all humans are should influence equally instead of superiority.
