Into the Mystic: The Great Epistemological Divide
Upon reflection then, looking at the broader historical-cultural intellectual landscape in terms of how our worldview has evolved, at least in the West, since the advent of civilization in the 1st millennium BCE up until the modern era, the so-called… Read More ›
The Law of Unintended Consequences and the Death of the Soul
Despite all the technological progress that has been made in the last century or two as humanity has taken over virtually every last habitable place on our planet, supported by what can only be referred to as revolutionary advancements in… Read More ›
Interpretations of Quantum Theory: Physics Meets Philosophy
If one believes in the power of mathematics to describe the universe, as the language of God so to speak, a notion which underpins all of Physics in the post Enlightenment Era as reflected in the two pillars of modern Physics, namely… Read More ›
Schrödinger’s Cat: The Death of Local Realism
As civilizations and empires emerged in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, there was a need, a vacuum if you will, for a theological/religious force to keep these vast empires together. One can see this reflected in the proliferation of… Read More ›
Quantum Mechanics: Wave-Particle Duality and Uncertainty
Following the intellectual bread crumbs of Albert Einstein, let’s try to understand how his revolutionary ideas and theories of universal gravitation, the notion of spacetime, the establishment of the equivalence of mass and energy, the necessary condition of the existence… Read More ›
Metaphysics in the Quantum Era
Thankfully we do not have to recreate the wheel to in order to try and formulate a more global and holistic intellectual paradigm through which we at least have a chance to address some of these persistent and global problems… Read More ›

Einstein and Spacetime: It’s all Relative
At this point, Charlie had enough material and had performed enough research to establish the core part of his thesis no doubt, illustrating what at least from his perspective seemed the clear borrowing and synthesis of various religious and theological… Read More ›
Wave-Particle Duality: So Much for the Atom
From Charlie’s standpoint, Relativity Theory could be grasped intellectually by the educated, intelligent mind. You didn’t need advanced degrees or a deep understanding of complex mathematics to understand that at a very basic level, Relativity Theory implied that basic measurements like… Read More ›
To What End: The Limits of Science
Charlie could remember back to when some of this had all started to germinate. He was still in school back then. Back in Providence. When he was a ‘student-athlete’, whatever the heck that meant. But in his better moments, he… Read More ›
Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: Back to First Philosophy
If you believe in the power of mathematics to describe the universe, as the language of God so to speak, in its theoretical as well as predictive power in describing the nature of the physical universe at the cosmic as… Read More ›
