The Sun is a Living Body Essay
found in my desk when I first moved here, along with a few followup
works. Want to know why Keplerian motion is a lie? Looking for a
theory that replaces the elegant and hair-rasing equations of modern
astrophysics with the simple truth that there are only two forces:
"gold" and "vacuum?" Well, no, you don't, but if you click on that
link, you will be able to read about all that stuff anyway.
My Rebuttal to a Creationist I managed,
simply in trying to teach some kids some science, to run afoul of a
creationist-leaning minister. While his letter hardly merited four
pages of somewhat-less-than-even-tempered and possibly condescending
defense of all science, I felt compelled to write about that much.
Ultimately, I guess it ended up being more for my own benefit than
for the science community at large. (Note that I
did this with no real organizational outline or attention to form and
rigor, so if you're looking for a great defense of evolution, you're
probably better off digging through talkorigins.org)
Some weird email I got a long time ago
Liberal arts majors resent the treatment science grads get, or so I've
heard. Assuming it's true, I couldn't tell you if they mean treatment
by society or by
administration officials, but if the broad brush of "liberal arts" can
be blamed for producing the language in this document, I think neither
society nor officials can be blamed for their actions.
I originally intended this as a spot for a journal or weblog or
whatever the hell they're called, until I remembered that I don't like
writing, and don't care to be reminded of my daily life, let alone
want to give everyone in the world access to it. What's posted here is
mostly just random stuff with no particular theme. I invoke the
traditional disclaimer that
my thoughts are not representative of anyone who had anything to do
with providing me with space for this site or bandwidth for accessing
it, so therefore they can not be held responsible if you are
offended. Also, I'm such a milquetoast human being, I can't imagine my
thoughts offending you unless you're some sort of fragile, fragile
china doll of a human being, in which case you don't belong on
the internet in the first place.
