<![CDATA[I'm diving into theoretical physics as a psychologist and process facilitator.]]>I'm diving into theoretical physics as a psychologist and process facilitator. I'm trying to understand how core concepts like energy, velocity, direction, force, weight, gravity, friction and acceleration could help me understand things like why a meeting can feel like it sucks your energy, why going fast without a clear direction doesn't get you to your goal, why interruptions and contradictions during a meeting can turn up the temperature (heat) for good or worse.

I'm not sure it is a metaphor, so I'll keep that as an open question! Myself, I'm leaning on the hypothesis that there's a physical dimension to all human systems and that the physical concepts are the same. There's something particular to the physics of human interactions, but the physical laws are generally isomorphic.

I'm curious how well it works as a metaphor for, non kinetic, human interaction.
All methaphors are of course wrong but some are very usefull.

I'm watching "Freshman courses" like this and learn a lot about the basic concepts: https://youtu.be/VGZy1VP-4gI?si=yxYZCM3uoj9P_03I
