Something that has continually interested me is the process of creating models that "simulate" some facet of nature. For a recent class, I created a simple model of a phenomenon that I experience nearly every day as a college student where one student begins to pack up and others follow, creating a positive-feedback loop that causes more...

I sat in the window seat of a jumbo jet as Chicago, Illinois accepted darkness. As we lifted off, I noticed the lights lining the runway. We began to rise. Lights were speckled across vast amounts of concrete. We rose higher; we moved east. A sparkling multitude of green, red, blue, white, yellow, covered the airport ground. We rose higher,...

Read an interesting piece over the weekend about how we are actually still evolving on a genetic level as a species, despite scientific opinion over the last fifty years claiming the contrary. Always wondered whether our next evolutionary phase will be to actually move beyond the physical into a more spiritual context... or maybe that's just...

I am glad for this forum. There are many thoughts that I have had which had no place to go. Perhaps this is the place. Wish I knew who said this "Today’s solution is tomorrows problem" All to often; like a building with an out of square, or uneven foundation as each new part of the building gets built there is the need for...

What might have baffled us once, the question of "saving the world," is now a non-issue; we know that we care only about people of selected qualities, namely matched intelligence, strength and character of the highest order. And with that, we do what writers do: appeal to those who aren't yet destroyed to wait out the end of humanity,...

It would be far easier and would require less energy to build new, efficient cities than to attempt to update and solve the problems of the old ones. Future By Design proposes a city that would use the most sophisticated available resources and construction techniques. Its geometrically elegant and efficient circular arrangement will be surrounded...

"...You know, whenever we show compassion, we ravage ourselves. Maybe it's true... Suffering makes life seem dismal and suspect. But I won't accept that. No, I won't accept that.

NASA researchers announced that a storm is coming — the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). “The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one,” she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a...
