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.

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.

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 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…

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
