Why do some people love roller coasters and some don’t

It’s been a while since you did something adventurous and you decide to visit an amusement theme park. You’re at the universal studios to ride the Mumy’s indoor roller coaster or Disneyland to ride the Angelina Jolie roller coaster…

Is There Life Beyond This One? (Part 2)

In 1977, NASA launched voyager 1 and 2. Their mission was to go where no man-made object had ever gone and find things man could only imagine. More than 30 years after, Voyager 1 is more than 18.8 billion miles from earth while Voyager 2 is about 15.3 billion…

The case of the “missing fundamental”.

Historically, it has been known that we do not hear what science expects us to. This has been a mystery that has not yet been resolved, at least not convincingly. The case of the missing fundamental is the most basic of psycho-acoustical phenomenon that needs an explanation.

The Fundamental Nature of Reality

How’s that for a presumptuous title? What is everything made of, ultimately?

There has been a programme on BBC TV about this. It seems a bit fashionable to put forward the idea that everything is “made of maths”, in a deep sense. There is a…

Celestial love

It was one of those early Sunday mornings; the “gigantic ball of gas” as she liked to call the sun was on its way to take charge for the day. She sat beside the window looking at the morning sky dreaming about the endless realms of nature’s marvel. This was one of those rare occurrences, like Haley’s…

O começo de uma nova jornada

Eu não sei lhes dizer o porquê, mas introduções, para mim, são coisas extremamente difíceis de se dar um começo ou um ‘‘pontapé inicial’’. Isso deve ser explicado pelo fato de que há uma distância enorme entre pensar sobre algo e realmente traduzir o que sente em palavras no…

In the list of fundamental constants it is interesting to see that many may be irrational numbers (without end, like 1/3). Of course, Euler’s constant, pi and others are proven to be irrational. When the fundamental constants are irrational then time travel in a single universe is not possible as we can never arrive at the exact same place twice.

The Riemann Hypothesis Beautifully Explained In This Paper: http://bit.ly/2jhzrEx

I certainly appreciate your learned point of view. Clearly the concept of probability balance exists outside the purview of classical physics. But neither does it reside within the realm of religious mysticism. There is no abstract guiding hand or physical interaction that make it so. Yet there it is.

Insight — Religion and Science

Yesterday, I was with colleagues at work and we were arguing about proof that science disproofs religion in regards to creation and evolution , from definition, they say proof is “evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth” but when…

Common sence that I don't know

Our Universe is big? What is the size of our universe?
Light travels 9,000,000,000,000 km per year the diameter of a solar system is about 8 light hours or 9 billion km our galaxy {milky way} is about 100,000 light-years across, our nearest galaxy {andromeda} is 2.5 light…

Are We all Living in Parallel Dimensions?

No: Life has way too much meaning. Why would we all be divided up? Why would there be such a basis in fact and origin in life if it were all a mirage? That’s very far fetched! That is imaginary thinking just like siFi! We would be thrown into a universe that had less richness in…
