Zero-Point Energy and Interstellar Travel, by Josh Williams iii HOHONU Aloha, Welcome to the sixth volume of Hohonu, the student academic journal of the University of Hawai'i at Hilo and Hawai'i Community College. The staff is pleased to bring you this issue, and we are proud of the fine and interesting writing it contains. Hohonu means "profound" in Hawai'ian, and that word well describes both some of the thoughts expressed within this volume, and the challenges the staff needed to handle this academic year. They worked very hard to not only put together this edition for the Hilo academic community, but also to distribute volume four and to finish the work started the year before on volume five. It was more than anyone had really signed up for, but they carried it off without complaint. There is no better use for this page than to publicly commend the work of Chloe Kubo, Tara Anderson, Yekaterina Kharitonova, Crystal Richard, LeAna Gloor, and Piper Selden. It has been my privilege to work with every one of these talented and dedicated women. Hohonu would not endure every year without the gentle encouragement of our faculty advisor, Professor Luke Bailey. He has always seen the value of this publication, and made sure it stayed focused in the right direction without exerting his will upon it. The staff and I thank him for his dedication and advice. The staff of this journal is made up entirely of students; while we mean well and work hard to get submissions and edit them, we are not professionals. To really make this journal happen, we count heavily on the help of LaiSha Delo Santos in the Campus Center; she and her staff have been indispensable with the business end of things, and forgiving when I did not have the paperwork right (which was most of the time ... ). I want to extend a very personal and heartfelt thanks to Susan Yugawa in the UH Graphics Department. Her patience, skill, and generous enthusiasm have been absolutely essential in this endeavor. She is an extraordinary woman taking quiet pride in what she does, and is an example to me of true service and competence. A final mahalo is due to the students who contributed their work this year. It is a brave thing to expose one's efforts to other students to evaluate, and to allow one's writing to be published for all to see. We are honored to have had the opportunity to work with the authors, and to bring their work to the community to appreciate. Please enjoy this edition of Hohonu, and pass it along for others to peruse, as well. This journal is an asset to our collegiate community in Hilo, a chance to see what students have learned and what they have to teach us. I think you will find here some pleasant surprises on both counts. Aloha, Timothy Fallis Editor-In-Chief iv Let me tell you about a poem that I read when I Animal Sacrifice was in high school. It is called Yatri, which means "pilgrim." This poem conveys to us the belief that by Naveen Magar every creature is made by G-d, and therefore G-d is in the hearts of each and every creature. The poet I still clearly remember what my grandfather said. further says that if one wishes to please G-d, he/ He was sitting right next to me and speaking to his she does not need to go looking for G-d in temples, friends. "We have no rain; children are falling ill; the shrines or religious places. There are many lives major cultivating season has passed us by - the gods being lived in suffering, and people begging for help must be angry, and we must prepare to sacrifice some all around us. Helping those who are in trouble and animals for them." At that time, I was perhaps eight who are suffering might make G-d content. Traveling and one of those who were sick. Like other families, long distances is simply wasting energy, money and instead of taking me to the hospital, my parents took time. According to this poem, we can understand me to a shaman. The shaman told my parents the that if we sacrifice animals, we certainly can't achieve reason I was sick was that our ancestors were enraged what we intend because animals
