    Speed of Time

    I wanted an accurate measurement of time. The conclusion that I have been led to has been very intriguing. So, I decided to share it. Speed of time is infinite. You might be perplexed. How can that be. Wouldn't it result in all time just happening at once, thus reaching the end of time? My...

    How does radiocarbon dating actually work?

    What is the process to radiocarbon date a fossil(or rock layer)? What is the science that determines the “millions of years” numbers? What are the flaws with this process, if any? Scientific answers only please. Go!

    Einstein, Philosophy and [you guessed it!]

    As it so happens, Curt Jaimungal (alumni student of the University of Toronto) recently had science philosopher, Jacob Barandes (Prof. at Harvard) on his podcast show. In the podcast video below, Barandes discussed the role philosophy can have in our engagement of science, however optional and...

    Lawrence Krauss Speaks Up ....

    I've known for the last 15 years or so that the political microcosm involving existing tensions between mainstream scientists and other alternative streams of thought regarding science, and the expressed "need" by those alternative streams to gag academics and scientists, could manifest itself...

    Science Joke from XKCD (Rated PG-13 due to humor)

    Hello folks. The constellation of Orion contains a nebula known as M42, or the Orion Nebula. It is 1500 light-years from Earth. However, XKCD, a science comic series made a joke about the constellation and nebula that is a little risque, maybe PG-13. Background info (NASA)...

    C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

    Hello folks. This October, a comet by the name Tsuchinshan–ATLAS entered the inner solar system and is visible from Earth. Now, I did not have a chance to see the comet due to light pollution and I do not get outside that much. However, the images of the comet show just how beautiful our solar...

    The AI has learned Medicine: Ask it some questions about medical science or psychology

    Hello folks. Yes, some of us might have already gotten bored with my artificial intelligence related posts such as "The AI has learned Thomas Aquinas. Ask it some questions", however, this technology is engaging and good for us to use in certain circumstances. Today, I installed a bunch of...

    Hydrothermal Vents (Underwater volcanoes)

    Hello folks. Remember that old adage, where humans have explored more of outer space compared to the oceans? There are volcanoes that exist under the ocean, known as hydrothermal vents, only discovered around 50 years ago. Apparently, scientists are trying to work out if there is life on other...

    The Case for (or against) Open-Access Journalism (Paywalls Part II)

    Hello guys and gals. Yesterday, a group of folks including @essentialsaltes , @JosephZ and others have enlightened me on the ethics of bypassing paywalls, a structure that news agencies use to pay their employees. I now understand that using software to bypass paywalls is unethical (both from a...

    New moons discovered orbiting Uranus & Neptune

    This news is slightly old, as three new moons were discovered in 2023, one orbiting Uranus, and two orbiting Neptune. These moons are tiny compared to Earth's moons, but will allow scientists to learn more about how the early solar system formed. @sjastro and @Astrophile might find this stuff...

    Local, private AI that runs on your computer

    Hello folks. The year is 2024, and AI continues to grasp headlines in the news. Most AI models such as ChatGPT are run on servers, hundreds of miles away from the users. This means that data is not private, and AI could potentially be used to build a profile of you. There is a solution, known as...

    Existing for Zero Seconds

    Is it possible to exist for zero seconds? It might seem impossible, but if we look at it mathematically, it seems very plausible. If it was impossible, it would also mean it is impossible for time as well. Which would make time impossible, because time cannot exist for more than zero seconds...

    Is Existence Possible?

    Hello everyone, I just would like to share something about existence. Suppose, there is a one inch object. We Traverse 0.5". That is the endpoint of the first half. The beginning of the next half cannot be next to 0.5", since there is no such a thing as a next point in space, unless space is...

    There is no Such a Thing as a Next Number

    There is no such a thing as a next number. What do I mean by that? Let's use 1 as an example. 1 does not have a number that is next to it. You might think 2 is the next number, but 1.5 is actually in between them. You might think 1.5 is the next number, but 1.25 is between them. This goes on...

    Is Motion Possible?

    Hello everyone, For something to move, it first must go halfway, but first it must go half the way of the halfway, and so on and so on. That obviously makes motion impossible, since it must go through infinite halfways to reach it's destination. Unless, it disappears and reappears somewhere...

    Is change possible?

    Hello everyone, I would like to share something about change. The "Y" is a variable for anything in general. "If something different than Y is not Y. Then Y cannot become something different, because then something different is Y. Thus Y cannot change."
