“The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries”—Freeman Dyson, 1982

So many people, diametrically opposed to everything devout Catholics like Tolkien stood for, nonetheless proclaim that modern defense tech chuds are illiterates who don't understand his works. "Almost the central theme of the book is the contrast between the Hobbits (or "the…

A man touched by God becomes untouchable by men, walks through valleys of shadows like he owns the shadows, and when he speaks the truth it cuts through lies like lightning splits trees, sudden, violent, irreversible. This man has wrestled with angels and won, has stared into the…

When most people think about "Graphic Design", they usually think of posters, websites, icons, typefaces, etc. There is an entire world of graphic design that gets no fanfare, but it underpins modern industry. I get the feeling that it is a dying art.

In high school I had a physics class where the teacher had us do the experiments *before* explaining the concepts they were meant to demonstrate, as God intended. So we measured the temperature of a hot glass of water and a cold block of aluminum of equal mass, then put the…

I’ve seen for a long time what passes for American (and to a large extent European) elite selection and the problem is that those of natural ability are not empowered but held back, and busybody mediocrities are promoted; and the culture is highly moralistic. Change this or else.

Saw a talk this week on the trippiest thing: bacterial cultures on skin induce immune responses. At Michael Fischbach's lab, they demonstrated immunizing mice against tetanus by just dabbing an engineered version of a harmless staph culture on its head. Unlike intramuscular…

The one thing I've seen that's rock-solid on this topic is this: There is a way of producing FTL travel by manipulating spacetime local to the craft, and this is consistent with all of Einstein's GR AND the shape which minimizes the energy required is a flat saucer like disc🤷‍♂️

Periodic reminder that plastic recycling is a pointless boondoggle at best and actively fraudulent at worst. Instead we should burn waste plastic for fuel at a facility with good air scrubbers. This is already done at scale in e.g. Denmark, and works great with no downsides.
