Me, just now. I never liked the idea of “junk DNA.” It always seemed lazy at best, and just arrogant to assert that since it […]
Quantum computing, Bose-Einstein condensates, and other cool stuff I just learned… My friend and muse, Naomi, sent me this article: Is the black hole at our galaxy’s centre a quantum computer? https://aeon.co/essays/is-the-black-hole-at-our-galaxy-s-centre-a-quantum-computer Well, that’s the clickbait title, that actual title of the article was: “Black-hole computing – Might nature’s bottomless pits actually be ultra-efficient quantum […]

Robin Collins, in his article “God, Design and Fine-Tuning,“ presents the observation that our physical universe is perfectly endowed with precisely those properties which allow life as we know it to exist. He then attempts to prove by means of logic, evidence and analogy […]
