Ask most any theoretical physicist who Emmy Noether was, and it will likely result in a long, emotional conversation. Simply put, she was the mother of modern (20th and 21st century) physics and mathematics. Yet, the average physics enthusiast has likely never heard of her, for while there are whole libraries of popular books and movies about the ``men of physics'' -- Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Feynman, Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, and Dirac -- there are hardly any at all about Noether (click… Continue

I. The story of Enki as embellished by Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash, and then embellished again by E. Samuel.
In ancient Sumer, there lived a man of very rare talents, who was perhaps the first truly conscious human, with an all-surpassing knowledge of mind. This man-god was Enki -- god of the lakes and buried waters, god of magic and the occult, keeper and protector of the `me', which were entrusted to him by his brother Enlil. The `me' were the secrets of civilization and the universe -- the… Continue

To be able to write a high-quality speech is a lot like making a good cake. Having the right elements is key for it's success. Every… Continue

I was looking at one of my favorite astrology sites and read a discussion on whether there was connection between turning on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. Intrigued, I did a little research on the LHC and found out that it is one the most expensive and enormous scientific experiments ever conducted in modern times.Built by a international team of researchers, the Large Hadron Collider, is a gigantic particle-accelerator that lies under the Swiss-Frenc… Continue

It all began with an intention. Sitting in a circle of smiling strangers, I gave voice to a vision I hadn’t realized I’d been holding inside: to create community in my city, where it wasn’t before. The sacred ceremony that followed was over by mo… Continue
I have been studing sacred geometry for about 8 or 9 years now. It always seems that I find things that most over look. I seem to have the uncanny ability to see what most miss. I hope that maybe some of you will open up something that I have missed or give me the proper tools to find the mistakes that others have overlooked.
