The Big Bang — a good theory while it worked

Since 1964, the Big Bang has been the context for interpreting all of astronomy. The theory has been troubled since 1997 by observations that don’t fit the model. That was the year that accelerating expansion was documented. The most recent observation is that All of Creation is rotating. We don’t even know how to calculate … Read more

Darwin, Lamarck, and McFadden

Here are three ideas of how evolution works, which I’ll refer to as Darwinian, Lamarckian, and super-Lamarckian. Darwinian: Offspring are just like their parents except for mistakes and DNA copying errors — mutations that are completely random, caused, for example, by stray cosmic rays. All the functionality that evolves is due to natural selection — i.e., … Read more

What do THEY know that We don’t?

In 1951, the act authorizing the CIA was amended with the provision that the CIA and DoD might conduct secret research without revealing their scientific progress to the public or even to Congress. 74 years later, what do they know that university scientists don’t know? And what technologies do they have that are not in the … Read more

Magnetic Poles are Drifting Rapidly

Magnetic pole drift map

In just the last 20 years, the North Magnetic Pole has moved 400 miles out of Canada and into the Siberian side of the geographic pole. In Derinkuyu, Turkey, there is an entire underground city, half a million square feet of living space extending hundreds of feet down. It was built in a time before … Read more

Is the “lab leak hypothesis” another cover-up?

Event 201, New York, October 18, 2019

Very early in the pandemic, the infamous “Proximate origins” paper was published in Nature Medicine, using nonsensical reasoning to “prove” that COVID could not have come from a lab. The Big Lie held its ground for over two years, before Jon Stewart sneered at it and Jeffrey Sachs added gravitas to the case against the “Wet Market hypothesis”. Then in December, … Read more

Plato told us that TRUE = BEAUTIFUL

You are to be forgiven if you don’t see the difference between a “beautiful theory” and an “ugly theory”. Einstein’s General Relativity is a beautiful theory because it can be described simply in words, and those words lead in turn to horrendously intractable mathematics. The words are that the density of energy (including mass, momentum, … Read more

What we might learn from mitochondria

About a billion years ago, there was a high-powered bacterium — we’ll call her Mitey — who was skilled at redox chemistry. This is the same chemistry that runs batteries, and it’s much more energy intensive than the organic chemistry of life that came before. Mitey was a parasite who used her high-power chemistry to … Read more
