There are few concepts that have a hold on the… Continue reading The quantum computer inside of each of us

Chemotons: The search for the origin of life takes a surprising twist

Today’s scientists rediscover the 50 year old work of a Hungarian biologist, Tibor Gánti, who labored behind the Iron Curtain, but developed theories that could upend our entire understanding of the origin of life The earliest known life forms on Earth are cyanobacteria, fossilized around 3.77 billion years ago in the Archaean rocks of Western… Continue reading Chemotons: The search for the origin of life takes a surprising twist

The experts are always wrong: A declining population leads to economic stagnation, upending 50 years of environmental wisdom and invalidating global warming models all at once

Two new studies show how the infamous population bomb goes bust, negative growth makes the world more likely to end in a long, slow, pathetic whimper, and almost every single climate model should be retracted, but I’m not holding my breath... In 1968, Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich kicked off the modern era of… Continue reading The experts are always wrong: A declining population leads to economic stagnation, upending 50 years of environmental wisdom and invalidating global warming models all at once
