Out of the Loop
So thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I find out that my little brother got married today. No, it wasn’t because he e-mailed me, or called me on my cellphone, or texted me, or even messaged me on facebook (he refuses to get one), but because I happen to see on my facebook wall that his fiancee changed her status from “engaged” to “married”. Also, she posted...

Filaments of Life
Why do I like theoretical Physics?
Because it puts EVERYTHING into perspective. Why people focus on the little things, such as social status, Religion, economy, politics, and traditions is beyond me. We are all a part of one world, far larger than any one country or people, which is part of an immensely larger solar system, which is but a pinpoint in a galaxy, which is a particle in a cluster,...

Black Hole to Albuquerque...
I’ve heard it said: “Shoot for the moon, even if you fall short, you’ll end up among the stars.”
But what if the moon puts you back thousands of dollars and years of time? What if you can never reach the stars by deciding to throw everything into the moon? It is a lonely place among the stars, hundreds of light years from anything tangible.
We tell ourselves from the very...

Senseless Philosophy
Is the exchange rate between US Dollars and Republic Credits affected by the rise and fall of the stock market? Or if an ewok sneezes on Endor’s moon, does it cause a sandstorm in the Saharan Desert?

Premature babies 'more sensitive to pain', study... →
Premature babies feel pain more acutely than healthy newborns largely due to the invasive hospital treatments they receive, experts believe.

Premature birth gene 'discovered' →
fuckyeahdevelopmentalbiology:
A gene linked to premature births has been discovered, scientists in the US and Finland have said.
The researchers hope their study, published in PLoS Genetics, could eventually lead to a test for women at risk of a pre-term birth.
In the UK, one in 10 babies is born before the 37th week of pregnancy, with potential problems for their health.
The Royal College...

Fair Tax?
I’ve been hearing about Fair tax lately and about how it is a better solution to our economy than the current income tax. This has got me thinking about the dynamics of such a system. I am not an economist or anything, but I try to be analytical about anything that deals with money when it comes to laws and such.
Here is what i have heard about Fair Tax, 1) it replaces the income tax and...

Nurture v. Nature
during break time at work we started having a discussion about whether homosexuality is something a person is born with or something they choose as an alternative to heterosexuality. Our discussion didn’t get too deep, nor were the arguments fully processed, before we had to get back to work, but i kept thinking of how to address the issue. In the end i decided on an analogy i felt was...

On Time, Science, Creation, and the Evolution of...
I’ve been reading Finding Darwin’s God By Kenneth Miller, and i must say it is meeting my expectations. I expected to find a reasonable approach to the debate (still?) between evolutionary scientists and creation scientists, given that Dr. Miller is a leading participant in such debates. While i find his stance in this book a tad too heavy-handed against fundamental creationists, it is...
