For some weeks, a question has been bugging me: do the brain and the Universe (also) compare with respect to sleep? The (surprising) answer is - actually - a Yes because both the brain and the Universe do not sleep. Only our body sleeps while our mind - and soul - do not sleep (eg, dreaming). Nevertheless, the notion of a sleeping universal body is not weird at all...
It's the time of the year to summarize my thinking and especially regarding my Conceptual Framework and my Theory of Everything. I decided to combine both concepts in my diagram below. Clearly, the bottom part - including Electromagnetism, Gravity and Light - needs further thinking. While writing, I received a sudden brainwave: update the (draft) diagram by...
I agree with this Financial Times heading and that is a problem. Over the years, I have learned that voters are emotional rather than rational - let alone logical and consistent. Hence, my expectation is that Geert Wilders (PVV) will - once again - win the 2025 Dutch general election. Most other Dutch political parties claim that they will not form a coalition...

Recent news suggests the possible existence of past microbial life on Mars (eg, BBC, Guardian, NASA, Reuters). Nevertheless, Matter (eg, moons, planets, suns), and...

"Although a detective/murder mystery novel at first glance, Rising Sun deals...
I'm not fond of watching documentaries. Hence, I was somewhat reluctant to start watching Solar System, despite its very high IMDb rating of #8.9. I'm glad that I did. Professor Brian Cox (b.1968) is an excellent storyteller, including for a layman like me. One of his questions is still bugging me: Why did planet Earth move from geological activity (eg, volcanoes)...
