Something on the Lighter Side

Seems like everyone likes to read something on the lighter side, now and then. Physicists are no exception, as contended by researchers from the University of Exeter. Just another reason why a physicist would enjoy reading The Enlightening. Here is a brief summary of their findings, from Physics World. https://physicsworld.com/a/do-physicists-avoid-reading-papers-with-lots-of-equations/

Lost in Math, Indeed

     As some of those who are aware of The Enlightening may know, my interest in cosmology and astrophysics spans back nearly 30 years.  The mystery of dark matter is what really caught my interest back in the early 1980s, when I began to research and study the subject, in earnest.  I put the time […]

Dark Energy is Getting Stronger

Some new research out of the University of Florence, indicating a “mysterious” increase in the flow of dark energy, validates my own model of the hyper-dimensional universe, as described in “The Enlightening.” Here is the link from the hyper-dimensional universe site.

In fact, Merle says that the song wouldn’t even be possible if it wasn’t for Wordsworth, who was perhaps the primary figure of the Romantic Era of English literature. English Romanticism valued emotional, […]

Dedication

Our Human Stubbornness

Have you ever missed out (or nearly missed out) on a great chance in your life, by framing things in terms of your own expectations?  Perhaps it was a person who, at first glance, you judged negatively, and who later turned out to be somebody you would have liked to have known.  Or perhaps it […]
