“Geology is 90 percent terminology and 10 percent science,” laughed Ray E. Harris, one of Wyoming’s leading geological theoreticians, having been with the Wyoming Geological Survey since 1982. He died on March 7th. Two weeks earlier, we met with and interviewed Mr. Harris. Everyone we met in Wyoming, and who was interested in uranium mining,…
About the Earth If you drew a straight line from the surface of the earth to its center, that line would be a little over 3,950 miles long. The crust of the earth is from the surface to 20 to 25 miles down. Immediately below the crust is what is called the mantle. The mantle…
The past decade has seen explosive growth in the life sciences sector of commercial real estate. These are companies that are involved in medical research and development of new technologies. Some notable examples that may come to mind are biotechnology companies or pharmaceutical companies. Large amounts of capital have been invested and are still being…
The basic principles of metabolic physics derive from philosophical discussions of the psychological and human perspective, but the root of the matter is really physical; The pre-expression programming responsible for genetic evolution is the result of several eons of computational conditioning and, in context, radical selection by nature’s norms of the environment. Metabolic Physics bridges…
Question: You and a friend are entering an egg-throwing contest. The goal of this competition is to throw an egg as far as possible without it cracking or breaking. Describe your strategy of catching eggs that have been thrown a long distance without breaking in terms of physics. Use terms like impulse and momentum. The…
Almost any journey is much easier if you get help from someone who has walked the same path before and can point you in the right direction. You are more likely to succeed in any mission when you have the right kind of help. This is true of most things and also applies to students…
Quantum physics is changing the reality game and showing us that the mind plays a huge role in what counts as real. Quantum theory puts forth the assertion that reality only becomes real when observed by an observer. The universe consists of an infinite number of overlap The odds of finding a particle in a…
Final draft of 15 Renaissance science and the urgent need to re-address social economy During the 1930s Lawrence Professor of Ancient Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, F. M. Cornford, author of Principium Sapientiae: The Origins of Greek Philosophical Thought, was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. His book Before and After Socrates has…
The “all-seeing eye” of ancient Egypt, depicted on the Great Seal of America, represents a fractal-logical conception of political freedom that is now re-emerging in a new global understanding. The ancient concept revealed a lost mystery when the science of quantum mechanics was extended to the evolutionary life science of quantum biology. There is now…
Molecular biologist Sir C. B. Snow and engineer Buckminster Fuller warned that modern science must be reunited with the classical Greek humanities of the life sciences in order to prevent the destruction of civilization. The obstacle to this, they stressed, was an insufficient understanding of the second law of thermodynamics. Fuller balanced this law with…
