When a system gains heat, it stores some of its heat energy and transports the remaining heat energy to some other system. The…
The Fourier’s law is the governing law for heat conduction. It states that the rate of heat conduction…
(Note: Unlike my previous posts, this one is not aimed at a general audience. this one’s for linguists)
As a generative linguist, I like to think of myself as a scientist. Certainly, my field is not as mature and developed as physics, chemistry, and…
CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is a tremendous tremendous technology researchers can use for instance mimic human diseases in organism model or interrogate the function of a gene amongst a broad range of applications in biology. Recently the description of…

THE STEFAN-BOLTZMANN LAW,
The Conundrum of Greenhouse Gas Warming!
FRANKLIN’S SPOKES In the Spring of 1976 Astronomer Fred Franklin at the Harvard College Observatory in Cambridge Massachusetts saw something everyone would say was impossible. In the nine inch refractor telescope he was observing…
It’s been quite a while I see a meme showing this funny cartoon law of physics:
One question that is often raised with preprints is how are they compatible with double blind review? The short answer is they aren’t. If you want a longer answer you can check out a recent blog post by my colleague Nick Brown, aka the…
The five words that every millennial dreads at the end of a vibrant dinner conversation is “Let’s…
When we think of geniuses, we think of people like Albert Einstein. One of the canonical stories of…
(This is an excerpt from my recent book, “The Elephant In The Room, The Denial of the Unconscious Mind.”)
The Thinking Man’s Cosmologist
Sean Carroll is a passionate, cutting edge cosmologist who happens to be a marvelous popularizer of his field. His…
Quantum Mechanics is very vast and not so old a branch of physics. It deals with the interactions of very small atomic and sub-atomic particles. It is a very bizarre theory and the principles of classical physics do not apply for it at such a minute…
Applying the Scientific Method: Remaining Objective in a Post-Truth Political Landscape
About six months ago, in the midst of the 2016 Presidential campaign, I wrote an essay about how we might approach political issues through a scientific lens. This was before the PizzaGate hoax, before the Facebook fake news scandal, and…

Bill plays poker. In the aftermath of The Singularity you had two choices; dive into the machine…
First, let’s respond on the level that’s purely about science and philosophy, meaning nothing to do with anyone’s emotions, bias, preferences, or some kind of interest — (dis)provable statements are scientific, un(dis)provable statements are not. Sure, duh and all that.
I teach Chemistry. (Stop that! I can hear you complaining about how hard it was from here). And it’s beautiful, glorious, even ethereal in the right conditions. After all, manipulating the very substances of the universe? How could that not touch the very fiber of your soul?! I’m…
Since I started writing novels some years ago I read non-fiction less often than I would like and far less often than I used to. But a daughter at UCT studying Astrophysics and a wifely Christmas present of this book (roundly garlanded as one of the…
Sounds like a bit pretentious to predict so far in the future. There might be many other events/laws that are still undiscovered that would drastically change the course of these event.
Please hear me out for a minute:
Without water there can be no life either but it’s the quantity that matters. With too much water around them (say the sea), people drown.
With CO2, the whole thing is of course slightly more complicated:
I have been working on (and with) the electric forces of the human body for decades. After reading your article it occurs to me that the answer to this current puzzle may very likely be found outside of the “physical” confines of the body. As soon as the scientific community recognizes that all living beings (life forces) have a biofield emanating…
There are no dividing lines betweenAtoms dancing, squeezing around each other.Mostly empty space, never touching,never creating barriers between.
Everything is of one essence.One sacred consummation of matter and energybody and spirit.
Next we have the health of penile Reaction Male Enhancement tissue and skin cells. Problems like this may stem from poor consumption of MSM or methyl sulfonyl methand. It is easy to become deficient in because it has a very complex way…
Nitro MXS :- The structure of Nitro MXS incorporates only two fixings that are L-Arginine and Tribulus Terrestris. Both these fixings are really the amino acids and you will give you a considerable measure of advantages. Really these amino acids are gone…
