Naut's Breaking News

The military coup against the Islamofascist dictator Erdogan is underway! No matter what our yammering media tell you - don't believe them! It's just as positive as the military coup in Egypt that deposed Morsi or Mursi or whatever, and it's a good thing for the entire world! They have my best... Sign in to see full entry.

Space and Time revisited once more...

Some of the comments to my recent series showed me that I simply did not explain things clearly enough, so I’ll try and remedy that in this post. In physics, the concepts of ‘locality’ and ‘non-locality’ are not coterminous with ‘location’ – hence non-locality does not mean an absence of location.... Sign in to see full entry.

On Space and Time…VI

At the end of the previous post I mentioned that Lee Smolin has ‘bigger fish to fry’; well, I shall no longer keep you in suspense – that big fish is none other than Time. In fact, the book on which my discussion is based is his Time Reborn, published in 2013 right here in Toronto. (Smolin is a... Sign in to see full entry.

On Space and Time…V

Before getting to the heart of the matter, namely Space, we have to establish a few other things. In fact, we need to go back to the very beginning, the Big Bang, or BB as I shall call it. (There was a time, a few years back now, when for me BB referred not to some thing, but to some one – gorgeous... Sign in to see full entry.

On Space and Time…IV

It’s been days and days since I posted the latest bit in this science series dealing with ‘Space’ and ‘Time’. Some people have been complaining… There are several reasons for that delay – one having to do with my own ‘temporal ordering’, the others ‘imposed’, as it were. But I also got side-tracked!...

“Hey Hey, Ho Ho…”

I remember them, even if I don’t recall the occasions, the immediate causes: fist-pumping, slightly disheveled crowds marching with a variety of signs and chanting, “HEY HEY, HO HO – WESTERN CIV HAS GOT TO GO…”, and everyone having a good time… The immediate causes aren’t important now and weren’t...

Facebook? The dangers…

The following was sent to me by a friend a few days ago – and I thought I’d pass it on as a warning to all… A SENIORS PERSPECTIVE OF FACEBOOK For those of my generation who do not, and cannot, comprehend why Facebook exists: I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same...

On science – Space and Time III

I am sort of changing the title! Because this is not about science in a general sense, which I have talked a bit about in the past, but rather about some very specific scientific thinking involving these mysterious matters – time and space. So you know where we’re heading, if by some necessary... Sign in to see full entry.
