Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

It is a sign of our times that a green haired, eye-shadowed non-binary person wearing a dress with hairy legs sums up the position of establishment scientists for the BBC more succinctly than many of them ever would or could. The establishment, as ever, is likely wrong... We are prisoners of our minds and the… Continue reading Time, consciousness, and the constancy of the two

No, we are most certainly not living in a simulation out of The Matrix

The anthropic principle cannot be solved by proposing the existence of simulated or alternative universes.  Indeed, it needs no solution at all, but that hasn’t prevented scientists from wandering far afield in search of an answer without a real question.  At least this time they claim there’s an experiment that could prove it… Once upon… Continue reading No, we are most certainly not living in a simulation out of The Matrix

The Big Bang theory blows up, imploding under its inability to properly describe the universe

There’s a crisis in physics prompted by advanced technology including the new James Webb Space Telescope.  The distant universe looks nothing like the Big Bang theory predicts, but instead of coming clean, astronomers are making excuses because some theories are too big to fail.  It will be at least a decade before they admit the… Continue reading The Big Bang theory blows up, imploding under its inability to properly describe the universe

Modern physics and the way the universe actually works

What can the scientific community do to return to theories grounded in reality, testable against the evidence, and make meaningful strides toward a better understanding of the universe and our place in it?  There are ways to test the underpinnings of our physics if we will only try. Last week, I argued that modern physics… Continue reading Modern physics and the way the universe actually works
