A Revolutionary Kind of Science
There are bona fide phenomena that are unverifiable, unmeasurable, undetectable, unfalsifiable, irreducibly complex, chaotic, nonlinear, unexpected, unwanted, unexplainable, uncommon, unusual, and unique. Continue reading
What’s the Matter
Everything that we know about the world necessarily begins with our sense experience of it. We touch, see, hear, smell, and taste things. We notice that things move, develop, change direction. One of these things is our own body. We can experience our body as a thing in the world. Continue reading
Heliocentrism Redux
The Sun is not at the geometric center of any planet’s orbit, but rather approximately at one focus of the elliptical orbit. Furthermore, to the extent that a planet’s mass cannot be neglected in comparison to the Sun’s mass, the center of gravity of the Solar System is displaced slightly away from the center of the Sun. Continue reading
The Locust Conspiracy
For some reason, we think that our experience of the world out there, right now, is “objective” while our inner life is “subjective”. The opposite is the case. Our knowledge of the external world is a matter of opinion, subject to change. We create a representation of the world, which may be called the “collective conscious”. Whatever doesn’t fit is our unconscious; e.g., black holes, the centre of the earth. Continue reading
Anti-philosophy and Panpsychism
A philosophy is not a court of law. It is not a matter of being right or wrong. It is a sign of great vulgarity to want to be right and yet more to want to be right against someone else. Continue reading
NASA, the Moon, Genesis and the Tao
In traditional cosmology, the position of Earth is the furthest from Heaven and the closest to Hell. If that is what geocentrism means, then it must be true. Continue reading
Creating a World: Day One
It’s curious that even atheists and neo-Darwinists are sometimes willing to believe that the human race was seeded by aliens or even that we “inhabit” a computer simulation created by more advanced beings; in other words, the implication is that the world was designed, albeit not by God. Continue reading
The Conundrum of the Big Bang
matter and energy are equivalent, according to the famous equation of the Theory of Relativity. At the beginning, matter has zero mass. Said another way, there is only energy in the form of photons. Then, Planck’s equation relates the energy carried by a photon to its frequency. Therefore, at time 0, everything was vibration Continue reading
