As a kid, I read a book by George Gamow, entitled “1, 2, 3… Infinity” - it was written (I think) sometime in the 40’s, and I found it on the book-rack at the Bleriot PX in Paris, and took it to summer camp at La Rochelle with me. Even then, I had gotten into [...]

Who Ya Gonna Call?
Here are some government “officials”
you might want to call, or write, or email… I think I’m going to
give some phone numbers here, and links to places you can find mail
and email addresses and perhaps additional phones (most of the
elected critters have multiple “local” offices, where you can
call and talk to somebody whose basic job might [...]
Are There More Walls???
The US government that supposedly opposed the building of the wall
by Morocco but supports Israel’s Apartheid wall has now passed a Bill
that will enable the government to build a wall along it’s Mexican border to prevent everyone south of Texas from entering the country.
$2.2 billion worth of fences along part of the southern
border. The Secretary [...]
You Want This?

WHAT IF…
“Homeland Security” were run by SCOTS???
I mean, suppose you found out that the Head guy and the majority of his top-level chiefs were all actually citizens of SCOTLAND??? Would that concern you? I know it would sure as hell concern me… even if it turned out that they all claimed to be “dual” citizens, of [...]
Where’s that Comet now???
Here is a really interesting tool, called JPL Small-Body Database Browser - I think I wrote about it somewhere else, but it may have been an email.
Bring this thing up and try several different comet and asteroid names and check out the orbits. Of particular interest will be Encke, Biela, Hermes, Apophis. Come back with [...]
Where Did TWELVE Come From?
There is a considerable mountain of evidence of number systems other than our familiar decimal system - 12 and 20 come to mind easily.
If you lived in the UK in the “old days”, you saw both of them combined, in the somewhat bizarre monetary values: 12 pennies to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound.
But [...]

Does the Aether Exist?
Yes.No.Maybe.Maybe Not.
The truth is, we can’t sense it.
Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
The (in)famous Michelson-Morley experiment is widely believed to have proven that the Aether does not exist. Nearly everyone who has ever heard - or read - the words “Michelson-Morley” believes that their experiment(s) and some subsequent ones proved that in fact [...]
Have You Heard This One?
“The scientists of today have substituted mathematics for experiments and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually build a mathematical structure which has no relation to reality. They are metaphysicians rather than scientists.”
– Nikola Tesla… who demonstrated a radio-controlled model steamboat
in Madison Square Garden in 1898 … who invented AC electric generation [...]
