L’univers primordial cartographié par Planck Capable de voir dans le domaine des micro-ondes, l’observatoire spatial européen Planck a balayé pendant 30 mois la totalité du ciel. Les données récoltées vont montrer aux astronomes l’aspect du Cosmos seulement 380.000 ans après le Big Bang. En astronomie, regarder loin, c’est aussi remonter le temps. Ainsi lorsqu’on observe une galaxie située à environ 3 millions d’années-lumière comme NGC 224 (aussi appelée galaxie d’Andromède) on la voit telle qu’elle était il y a 3 millions d’années, le temps que la lumière a mis pour nous parvenir. Aux premiers temps du CosmosImaginons maintenant regarder encore plus loin. Lancé en 2009 par une Ariane 5, le satellite Planck de l’Agence Spatiale Européenne est équipé d’un instrument appelé HFI (High Frequency Instrument) capable de détecter des températures d’à peine 0,1 °C au-dessus du zéro absolu.

The 5 Organs Network of Chinese Medicine - Kidney From Li Zhongzi, A Primer of Medical Objectives (Yizong Bidu), 1637: The Classic states: 'Whenever we treat a disease, we must approach it at the base.' Base here means root or source. Every stream on earth has a source, and every plant has a root. If all murky sediments settle at the source, the downstream waters will naturally be clear and fresh, and if we water a root, it will grow and branches will sprout; these are the laws of nature. The experienced physician, therefore, will always consider the source. However, the body's source is differentiated into a prenatal and a postnatal aspect. From Zhuang Yuanchen, Shujuzi: Inner Chapters (Shujuzi Neipian), Ming Dynasty: The kidney is the ocean of the human body. In the context of the human body only the kidney can be compared to the workings of this natural cycle. From Zhang Huang, A Compendium of Illustrated Texts (Tushu Bian), Ming Dynasty: In relation to the other organ networks, the kidney is situated in the lowest position.

Chinese Medicine Basics - Yin and Yang : A Basic Introduction By Marc Ryan Chinese Medical theory, though scientific in its own right, is built on a foundation of ancient philosophical thought. Many of these ideas are based on observations of natural phenomena and are the reason why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM ) has remained a truly holistic approach to health and well being. The Theory of Yin and Yang is one such philosophy. It is said to date back nearly 6,000 years to the third or fourth millennium B.C. and is attributed to an enlightened philosopher named Fu Shi (also credited with creating the I-Ching or Book of Changes). Yin and Yang are metaphorical images used to express these constantly transforming interactions. The entire universe may be viewed as the interplay and alternation of yin and yang. Yin is that which maintains and endures, it is nourishing and supports growth and development as well as being something contracting and moving inward.
