We all end up with the same question: why do bad things happen to good phone chargers. This is my problem: one old cable used to work and now it doesn’t, one new cable works great, one new cable says it’s charging but it’s flaky and doesn’t turbo charge. Let’s dive in…

I’d always assumed that Neil deGrasse Tyson was a universally beloved figure. How could you not love him? The goofy vests and ties are strangely endearing, and his voice is low and gentle as he whisks us away to uncharted space and faraway galaxies. I saw him…
Most scientific papers are bullcrap.
(Or Physics envy, but maybe not quite the way you usually think.)
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time and as often happens, someone has come along and written a post which says a lot of what I planned to say, only…

Plato’s metaphysics is fascinating, not just in terms of the philosophy it tries to prove, but the way it goes about proving it. The fame of the Phaedo, and its forms, despite their grand implications (the immortality of the soul, recollection…

I’ve been playing with this idea for a bit, so I’ll toss it out and see if anything comes of it.
Maybe the scriptures are like DNA.
Close your eyes. Get comfortable. Think back to the wonderful strawberries and tomatoes of your childhood. The freshness, their smell, and above all their incredible taste. They were a real treat…And now, think of the strawberries and tomatoes that you’ll eat tonight after a…
Three years ago I was thinking about the possibility to construct a mathematical model for the universe taking into account not only matter,energy and forces like gravity,but also including effects of living…

Consider the following facts that are true. These are reasonably real numbers, but may vary slightly. I have five technical science degrees inclusive of a B.S. in Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, and a M.S. in Physics. So, I know what I am stating to be absolutely good…
What you seem to be trying to describe is Darwinian evolution by natural selection. But this type of evolution is a special case operating within cosmic evolution. Further, evolution does have directionality (i.e., big bang to…
“In fact, Bruner argues, narrative thinking is responsible for far more than its logical, systematic counterpart. It’s the basis of myth and history, ritual and social relations. The philosopher Karl Popper “proposed that falsifiability is the cornerstone of the scientific method,” Bruner…
Assumption here is that knowledge, and or access and use of it, is somehow static or finite. That’s obviously not the case. Your example about doctors is case in point. Today, first year med students are often told that by the…
Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) scientists have discovered a novel protein that is capable of fine-tuning the clocks in aging cells. The results were published in the January 13 issue of the journal Science, which has published studies on…

By the time earth emerges just over 4 and a half billion years ago our earth moving so rapidly that the day last about 6 hr early earth was of only molten lava and black volcanic rock and because of gravity lighter material drifts through surface and forms a solid crust while heavier material get to the centre, forming a molten iron-nickel core which…
