Bank of America, Amazon, MasterCard and PayPal are some of the companies that stopped doing business with Wikileaks.

Thorium-232 is an isotope with a half-life of 14 billion years. Unexpectedly, he fell in love once with Helium-5, whose half-life lasts around a hundred millionth of a trillionth of a second. It may sound weird but it worked: Helium-5 loved Thorium-232, too. A lot. Well, they were not happily ever after but after all ... Physicist Carlo...

Unconsciously building our demise. With money becoming so important, and its uses so often worthless, we care only for our own survival. Dependent on a system that is designed to crash.

I am constantly in wonder of the idea of time. As a constructed measurement it is a human necessity. We must have a way to universally relate to our placement in everything that has been, is, and will be. But what strikes me most about our current understanding of the universe is that the notion and application of "time" is so...

The framework we live in can be described as a relationship between us and place we occupy. We interact with it and its other elements. It is exactly what we are supposed to do; the only thing to do. We feel its atmosphere,...
