HIGHER DIMENSIONS From point to line to plane to sphere we see just three dimensions here, and each dimension has a name that we can easily proclaim. If we would further interact, we must devise the tesseract — a cube that turns its outsides in, spinning in imagination — and thus we have dimension […]
Read more "Higher Dimensions"I thought I would introduce this post with a (reverse) fibonacci. The number of syllables in each line of the poem is the sum of the following two lines. Now, here is today’s featured sonnet on atomic structure.

that’s often tweaked to fit the equation.
It would be possible to chart a course for a planet in another galaxy, only to find out its star had already gone supernova before we had even begun our journey. Since, at present, we have no hope of traveling faster than light, we can only obtain distant information at the speed of light, so […]

It’s like we still hold Ptolemy correct.
PAREIDOLIA (The Shapes Of Perception) Predators have faces, so our brain is hardwired to recognize such shapes that may be hidden amidst the terrain, since before modern man emerged from apes. Our imagination’s proclivity to spot a beast’s approach or arrival is not a gauge of creativity but evolutionary survival. The animals viewed […]
