Yesterday's blog on the decreasing energy of (sun) light and the increasing age of the Universe (ie, 26.7 billion years), made me realise that the age of planet Earth (ie, 4.55 billion years) is only 17.0% of the Universe. Hence, my assumed answering of the where question in yesterday's blog was wrong. The list of UFO sightings starts in 1450 BC in Africa, and has...

Ik hoop en verwacht dat het Kabinet een cassatieberoep bij de Hoge Raad instelt. Het is principieel onjuist dat minderheden, via hun NGO’s, het Kabinetsbeleid bepalen. De...
The ongoing intense discussions on the threats of Artificial Intelligent robotics made me recently wonder the following question: is it even possible that technology will - once - no longer be a human tool? In such a situation, the human species might become the tool of Technology. Human movies already "answered" my question. The 1984 film The Terminator features...
