Moral Compass
Needle spins too fast to point in firm direction, easy to lose way. No one anymore can distinguish greater good from lesser evil. When profit is weighed against cost in human lives, we sail uncompassed.

THE INVENTOR
THE INVENTOR Tesla dreamt the world that was meant to be with free electricity and air cars, but Edison, quite unfortunately, was reaching into pockets, not for stars. After a meager grant from old J. P., he began Utopia’s legacy; Nobly naïve, Tesla gave it for free, thus making this backer his enemy. He could […]

LEMMING Oh, little lemming, running to the sea, Tell us; tell us, what can the matter be, That you ignore your friends who warn and shout That you should try to stop and turn about. The path that you are on will not end well, And yet you are determined and pell-mell. […]

RIP OR CRUNCH Most think the universe will Rip, some few think Crunch. Dark Energy is gaining grip. It’s most unlikely things will flip. Gravity’s always lacked the punch to stop the matter expanding, but whether it goes crunch or rip, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Many should recognize this as […]

PREMISES, PREMISES Most everything (science assumes) repeats and that’s what makes it verifiable, but there have been a few astounding feats which, though unique, are undeniable, for instance life and its evolution or even the Big Bang, best we can tell – these lack a statistical solution, yet science seems to accommodate well.

RESEARCH GUIDELINES Throughout investigative history, a basic principle has long held sway: When we unravel Nature’s mystery, complexity’s the first to fall away. Upon one underpinning postulate, succinctly balanced, we’ve come to expect all facts that we’ve observed should always fit, with math that’s both appealing and correct. Proposing supposed significance, unless our models […]

THE UNIVERSE IS IN PERFECT HEALTH A team of international scientists used several of the world’s most powerful telescopes to perform the most comprehensive assessment of the energy output in the nearby universe, concluding that today’s produced energy is only about half of what it was two billion years-ago and prompting claims that the universe […]
