Nothing vs something

The Remarkable Emptiness of Existence (Nautilus)

In 2024, I wrote my blog: Does the aether represent “dark” matter & energy? The 2023 Nautilus article below has an interesting claim: The void in the universe is alive. I must agree considering if only considering the existence of viruses (eg, astrovirology, Fred Hoyle, NatGeo, NIH, panspermia). I suppose that our houses have a certain ratio between something...

The rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness (6)

I think I finally understand the feeling of loneliness. In my view, it feels like the Daryl Hall song below: "Every time you go away; You take a piece of me with you" (lyrics).

Time is also a mathematical concept, representing galactic orbits and distances. The Sumerian Base-60 system explains our use of 60 minutes and 60 seconds. Hence, each galaxy is likely to have its own - and mathematically matching -...

Gratis Geld bestaat (toch) niet (HFD)

Introductie LO: In 2004 had het blad Foreign Policy een speciale uitgave m.b.t. de 10 gevaarlijkste ideeën wereldwijd. De bijdrage van econoom Alice Rivlin (1931-2019) ging over 'Gratis Geld' (o.a. Brookings-2004); zie ook mijn recente blog. Haar geweldige openingszin luidde als volgt: "Fiscal irresponsibility is politically attractive, but it is equivalent to...
