Gulls know a mathematics far beyond of Grade School. It’s simple. You cleave a line in two. That’s quantum mechanics. By moving, you maintain it as it spreads. Water helps. But lines […]

Mathematics is not made out of numbers. Look what the waves have been doing. The physical world is not science. Look what the waves have been doing. Photography is not about cameras. […]
Randomness is one of the basic principles of contemporary culture. It underlies contemporary models of the universe from the very large (everything in space and time) to the very small (subatomic effects). […]
Before there was photography, there was a philosopher called Fichte, who was driven out of his university classroom by a riot and hid out in a little hotel in the country, behind […]
I’ve been talking about zeroes lately, and suggested that a mathematics without zero would be a mathematics of unity. It wouldn’t lead to contemporary technical society or economics, or even the computer […]
Take a look at these brown-eyed susans after the flower petals have been shed … It looks like hundreds, but it’s only one. There only ever has been one. Take a look […]
So, the birds come to the local sumac bush, chitter, chitter, cheep cheep, chirp… … and do what birds do best (other than the chirping)… The Mathematics of Randomness, by Birds I […]
I’m used to walking up into the hills, and I usually see amazing things, because that’s the kind of world it is. Now that I have pneumonia and have the breath to […]
Out of darkness, light. A few weeks back, I marvelled at water, and it’s here again, but look at it now … Stream Below the Hengifoss Flotsdalur, Iceland. Is it water? Is […]
The universe is consistent. When the solar system formed, light molecules, such as water, spun off to the outer edges, where they formed comets. A billion and a half years later, the […]
