Week 10, Biophysics and Oriental Medicine

It seems like biophysics is trying to understand a particular part of life through a very exact angle. They seem interested in the cellular and sub-cellular level and how different interaction there help shape life in the macrocosm. Honestly, I find it very hard to compare biophysics with oriental medicine because in oriental medicine we don't just study one small aspect of a body or a system. It doesn't seem as though we are preoccupied with trying to answer what a living system is, either...

  1. I agree. OM is much more comprehensive and open-ended than biohysics.
