Cybernetic superintelligence is emerging from our simian minds. Are we strong enough for this uncanny face-off with an artifact smarter than we are? Quick assessment: We’ve been strong enough to break open atoms and peer inside the nucleus at the colorful dance moves of quarks and quark-pairs called gluons jitterbugging at the speed of light. […]

Most of the particles in the universe are entangled.1 Entangled particles in 3D are connected by wormholes in 4D.2 By the way (and this is really interesting), the entanglement of wormholes doesn’t occur in spacetime. It actually creates spacetime.3 And, as everyone now knows, spacetime is expanding ever faster thanks to dark energy. It will […]

Mathematics dates our wound from the time of the ancient Sumerians1 and their sexagesimal number system. This is the wound we suffered when, after 300,000 years of human existence, quantity became more important than quality. Mathematics cuts deeply into what we know. And we bleed a new strangeness that shames us into facing what we […]

We’ve unraveled across 13.8 billion years from some infinity. And now, look at us! We are an arrangement of atoms with an eye for i, iota, the mathematical expression √-1 … i2 = −1 … x2+ 1 = 0 … that famous imaginary number so useful to meeting our world realistically. Perpendicular to the Cartesian […]

In the Beginning, you are there. So am I. And everything else, too. Before the trillionth second of time, everything is light – an eternal event, because for photons, there is no time. No space, either. The instant a photon appears, it arrives at its destination – even if that’s the other side of the […]

At the center of every atom, energy of imponderable intensity rages. This is the chromodynamic binding force of gluons, which holds quarks together inside an atomic nucleus. It is a furious fire that has been burning since time began. I say ‘furious’ because 99% of the mass in the atomic nucleus consists of this chaotic […]
