Art and Physics are both attempting to explain and explore the world around and within us. These are two very different disciplines and the commonality that they share is in trying to explain existence in the universe. They are almost working together the way that the two hemispheres of the brain ...

What is the concept of "a computerized model of reality (simulation)?" Is it a self-contained universe, replete with it's "laws of physics" and "logic" while bearing a resemblance to the real world. Is it a model of reality with direct and strong relationship to the world? These elements are impo...

Have you ever wondered why certain people seem to be born with bad luck? Some people appear to be touched by the hand of Midas, and yet others always step out on the left side of bed. What if there were actual scientific explanations for these phenomenons. During a physics lesson in my junior yea...

Throughout the history of astronomical theory, there have been two main theories on the setup and placement of the heavenly bodies within our observed universe. The two theories are the geocentric model, our earliest theory, wherein the earth is at the center of everything, and everything rotates ar...
