Dr. Bernard Haisch, drawing from his book on the Gothic, explores the idea that our universe is finely tuned for life, citing various astrophysical properties that appear remarkably calibrated. These include the ratio of gravitational to Coulomb force, the strength of the nuclear force, a specific carbon resonance, water’s expansion upon freezing, the neutron’s […]

The Double Slit Experiment | Eugene Khutoryansky
An experiment involving shooting small marbles through two narrow holes onto a cloth reveals fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. When one marble at a time is sent through, an unexpected striped pattern emerges, rather than two distinct marks behind the holes. This pattern is indicative of wave behavior, where waves passing through both holes […]
‘A Universe From Nothing’ by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009 (Video)
During a lecture sponsored by RDF, physicist Lawrence Krauss discussed the challenging and tricky questions he encounters, particularly from atheists, which he finds most difficult to handle. He highlighted the work of a fellow physicist who has made significant contributions to the public understanding of science and has taken up multiple directorial roles at Arizona […]
The Euclid Space Telescope’s Spectacular First Photos of Distant and Hidden Galaxies
The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has captured its first science images, showcasing the universe’s grandeur, including a galaxy cluster in Perseus, the “Hidden Galaxy,” an irregular galaxy, a densely star-packed globular cluster, and the Horsehead Nebula. These images were unveiled by the ESA at an event in Germany, marking a significant milestone for […]
The Crisis in String Theory is Worse Than You Think: A Deep Dive into the Struggle to Unify the Universe
Exploring the Scientific and Philosophical Implications of String Theory’s Setbacks on Our Quest for Understanding Introduction String theory once captivated the minds of physicists and enthusiasts alike, holding the promise of a unified framework for all known forces of nature. Described as a “theory of everything,” string theory has shaped much of modern theoretical […]
Life beyond the Nobel: Brian Josephson and his interest in the mind
Nobel laureate Brian Josephson, known for his work on superconductors, has spent the past 50 years exploring the intersection of physics and the mind. This shift in focus was prompted after his Nobel Prize win, which freed him from the need to prove himself in his original field. Key Takeaways: Brian Josephson, a […]
An Antimatter Experiment Shows Surprises Near Absolute Zero
Researchers have been messing around with antimatters for years trying to find new laws of physics. However, there hasn’t been anything found that is ground-breaking as of yet. In a perfect world these researchers would be able to see all hydrogen atoms having the same sharp hue. However, we don’t live in a perfect […]

What Jordan Peterson Overlooks About Ideology and Power
Pop psychology author Jordan Peterson has a lot to say about the dynamics of competency, but he often only thinks of this in terms of rigorous social hierarchies. When considering the dynamics of competency, it’s important to remember that there are many different types of power. Not all hierarchies are based solely on competence. Moreover, […]
