Without rituals, if the family does not come
together in a regular way, both parents and children may miss out on the feeling of being emotionally connected.
If the top's initial spin direction lay in one of three subsets of possible directions — dubbed islands of stability — each successive kick would knock the
spin in a regular way, sending it around a stable orbit within that island.
«Embodiment is very interesting because it's a new way to do research on [sub] consciousness,» says neuroscientist Michael Schaefer at Medical School Berlin, «so we really can try to unravel things that we can not
see in a regular way.»
By changing the external
voltage in a regular way they could model the changing temperature conditions studied by Nakagaki's team.
When they did the experiment, they found almost exactly that behaviour — if the quantum top started out in an island of stability, its spin
changed in a regular way, but if not, chaos ruled and its spin direction changed quickly and erratically.
One of the most important results to come out of this work is the finding that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has
varied in a regular way over the last 800,000 years (8 glacial - interglacial cycles).
An alternative to grinding the barley is to simply cook
it in the regular way, then place the cooked barley in a food processor and blend with enough breast milk or formula to give the desired consistency.
