Nihilism and Spirituality
The empiricist definition of reality is “what can be proven.” The problem with this definition is that by itself it leads to nihilism. If reality is what can be proven, then if something cannot be proven to just one person, it is not real. Not much can be proven to a person with brain damage […]

Uranus And Neptune: Two Different Worlds
Weird things happened in the outer Solar System when it was first a’borning. The ice-giants, Uranus and Neptune, are the two outermost major planets of our Sun’s family, and in size, bulk, composition, and great distance from our Star, they are very much alike. Both distant worlds are clearly different from the quartet of small […]
