Now how often have we seen the ability of good science people brains tested with actually “construction techniques” in the everyday world? Be it, some calculation on how much concrete is to be supplied in the driveway to drain the water to the drain area in the most appropriate way? A Sundeck which need some…

Most won’t know of my particpation in bringing people together, to confront the basis of what models can do, and how these things can change perceptions. I, from taking a stance on such model assumptions, realize, that if held to any position most firmly, would not allow any other thought constructs to make their way…

John Baez: In Newtonian mechanics, we can only measure energy differences, not energies themselves. The reason is that we can add any real number to our definition of energy without changing any of the physics. This means it doesn’t make much sense to ask what the energy of a system is – we can answer…

These visualizations have helped me greatly, and have alowed me to see what other see in this abstract world, written, or computationally described. Many of Greg Egan’s animations have served many to see, what he is seeing. I guess by…
