Bubbles of the Multiverse
The multiverse – a key ingredient to many a sci-fi film, however the topic has now become a fairly serious area of thought in theoretical physics. Could our universe just be one bubble in the multiverse?
Don’t get snared by the logic trap
Zeno’s paradoxes; a paradox much older than Christ which the ancients loved to muse on. Intuition and logic at odds; but how do you resolve this mystery? Snared in the logic trap.
Does the present really exist?

Making Humans Interplanetary – SpaceX
Today we talk about SpaceX’s plans to send humans to Mars and make us an interplanetary species. I write this post after attending Elon Musk’s talk at the 2016 International Aeronautical Congress in Mexico.

The Horizon and Beyond
Today we move to the vast and wonderful field of cosmology. In cosmology a horizon is a dividing surface between regions that are in causal contact. If particles are in […]
Ghost Universes and Phantom Photons
The probability wavefunction; a creature whose characteristics propose the existence of simultaneously dead and alive cats, observational dependent existence, and other hard to swallow quantum truths, may have collapsed- indefinitely. […]
