Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will take to solve them: quantum gravity, dark matter, dark energy, the origin of the universe, and a theory of everything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Sb...

tbh the success of the "let's shit on social media" cottage industry is a strong signal those pundits are looking backwards and not at the present

From my essay “What We're Talking About When We're (Not) Talking About Extraterrestrials“: The possible existence of alien intelligence is — for real — a political problem. Why? Because of the unspoken rule of “Anthropocentric Sovereignty”. Dive in here: aryngve.substack.com/p/what-were-...

I began writing the book series DARC AGES in the late 1990s, and there's a definite 90s vibe to it. So I’m curious how it might resonate with readers younger than Generation X. Link to the books: www.amazon.com/dp/B078ML1JB... #books #scifi #fantasy #medieval #postapocalypse #romance

In the oldest part of the City lies the 20th Precinct. It's a strange place... dead strange. All murders in Precinct 20 are weird. The area seems to exist on top of a crack in reality, where nightmares seep out...and people fall in. Buy PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE here: www.amazon.com/PRECINCT-20-...

What is the "bandwidth" of a normal human brain? Turns out it's amazingly slow: About 10 BPS. (Although we've managed fine with that for at least 100,000 years.) The slowness of the human brain means that "brain-computer interfaces" (Neuralink) may not work as advertised: youtu.be/EnltgiUR3eo?...
