Bovenstaande vraag was haar antwoord op mijn vraag aan haar of zij nog een Nederlands onderwerp voor mij had. Zij vroeg mij of ik dit onderwerp wilde koppelen aan mijn blog van woensdag: Single by choice, circumstances, or …… (2). Die koppeling speelt ook bij mij. Ik vermoed dat haar vraag bij veel mensen van 60+ leeft. Daarover praten is echter lastig. Die vraag is...
Finding vs searching
Does the aether represent “dark” matter & energy?
While writing my previous blog - Dark matter: complexity or simplicity?? - a thought appeared in my mind: is the aether responsible for reflecting “dark” or invisible matter and energy?

Our search for the truth
Last Monday, I was watching clips from a 1974 documentary with Karl Popper (1902-1994), "one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers of science".
