Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Arthur C. Clarke, the greatest speculative fiction (sci-fi for the rest of you) author ever, had his “Rendezvous With Rama” yesterday as he passed through the monolith and into the Great Beyond.
At press time, Dr. Clark’s estate could not be reached to confirm his last words were: “My God! It’s full of stars!”
Okay, I made [...]
Restoring Your Sense Of Wonder*
Friday, December 7th, 2007Step away from the keyboard.
Not now, but in a moment, after you’ve finished reading this.
Pretend I’m right there next to you and like any good friend, I’m gently urging you to do something different.
I want to dare you to unhook yourself from your common thought and challenge you to the unusual. Something specifically unusual.
This [...]
Has Quantum Mechanics Revealed The Soul?*
Friday, October 5th, 2007Has the “New Physics” finally bridged the gap between science and religion?
Is this the logical outcome when scientists quit trying to deny the role of consciousness in physics and instead ask the question, “What would happen if we thought of mind and awareness as the physics of consciousness?”
In this article, Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose deal [...]
Diamonds Are A Scientist’s Best Friend*
Friday, September 28th, 2007This is what science is all about folks, suggesting a theory and then examining the evidence to find whether you can prove or disprove it.
When I was in high school geology (I was really paying attention because I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up), the popular scientific belief according to the best [...]
Practical Applications Of Quantum Science*
Friday, September 21st, 2007Quantum computing and storing your data via quantum technology is no longer in the realm of science fiction and science-philosophy films like . . .
Feeding What We Oppose*
Friday, September 14th, 2007Huh. Imagine me reading the article below. The brain flatlines and I fall backwards onto my butt — hard. Mentally that’s what happened when I read what you’re about to read.
While I have always embraced (based on life experiences) that
Like what you read? Then click here to buy me a coffee.
Watching Relativity Fly*
Friday, September 7th, 2007It’s all relative. Really it is. And that doesn’t mean it’s all about the family.
According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, no two people have the same view of space-time. Stated simply, much of what we think is real is actually a function of being The Observer of that “realness.”
As The Observer, each of us views what is [...]
How Do You Market Quantum Physics To Peasants And Goatherders?*
Friday, August 31st, 2007 . . . Why, you speak to them at their level, not yours.
It’s over 2,000 years ago and your mission, should you decide to accept it, is this — you are the philosopher/religious leader Yeshua ben Joseph** and you need to teach the basics of quantum physics to your audiences — peasants, goatherders, tax collectors and [...]
Reversing The Law Of Cause And Effect Before It’s Too Late*
Friday, August 24th, 2007Here’s a clip from an astounding and very frank article. You might even call it disturbing but in a sobering way.
While y’all may think I’m very direct at times (some of you would even say “harsh”), I don’t know if I could have told the woman in the article what author Miceal Ledwith did . [...]
What’s Luck Got To Do With It? Everything And Nothing*
Friday, August 17th, 2007Why do the things you want the most seem to take tremendous effort and take longer to happen than the “inconsequential” things you couldn’t care less about? Quantum physicist Fred Alan Wolf has a way out of this dilemma for you.
Below is one of my favorite parts of the article, though you should follow the [...]
