A former visitant of UC Santa Cruz, former union boilermaker, ex-Marine, Vietnam vet, anti-war activist, dilettante in science with an earth-shaking theory on the nature of light (which no one will consider), philosopher in the tradition of Schelling, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Marx, and Fromm (sigh, no one listens to me on that either), author of a book on wine clubs (ahem), and cast-off programmer of ancient computer languages. Several of my articles on physics and consciousness are online at ResearchGate.net, Philpapers.org, Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research, and YouTube. And of course there are articles here at Opednews. I've also had two physics articles published in an obscure but earnest Central European journal (European Scientific Journal http://www.eujournal.org/index.php/esj).

Friday, February 24, 2023The 51st State of Columbia A proposal to form a special Federal District of Washington within the State of Columbia
Saturday, July 4, 2020The Alcubierre Drive and a solution to the Fermi Paradox The so-called Fermi Paradox addresses the enigma that although it seems there must be advanced civilizations elsewhere in the universe, we have been unable to detect their communications. A hypothetical technology that could overcome the limit of light-speed is shown to suggest a solution to the paradox.

Thursday, January 17, 2019The Obscure and Unconscious Class A discussion of a social class that has not been fully appreciated, and of the importance of its recognition.
Wednesday, November 21, 2018Black holes, mathematics, and relativity physics Several mathematical constructs of black-hole physics are described as misrepresentations, especially in terms of Relativity. The conditions of in-falling bodies reaching and crossing an event horizon are reexamined, and it is argued that matter cannot exist within a black hole. It is concluded that black holes consists entirely of un-visible "white" light-energy.
Wednesday, September 27, 2017The Confederate Flag is Unpatriotic and Disrespectful An amazing amazing call to all true American patriots!
Friday, November 11, 2016Now is the time, 2018 is the prize A hundred million citizens are going to be horrified in the days ahead, appalled by Republican policy makers and dismayed by Democratic sell-outs and losers. In each state, in each district, we need to be recruiting real progressive candidates for office in 2018, whatever their affiliation.
Tuesday, February 9, 2016Do Physicists Love Their Paradoxes Too Much? The "Twin Paradox" in Relativity theory has involved an abiding difficulty with clarifying how arbitrary periods of uniform motion between accelerations, when each twin will observe the other's clock to move relatively slowly, can be resolved at their reunion. But there is a non-paradoxical explanation for the effect that has not been previously proposed.
Tuesday, February 10, 2015Suggestions for more friendly numbers about space and time The ways things are identified and described are often arbitrary conventions handed down from early influential persons or groups. We have conventions involving numbers that aren't the best way of communicating their quantities or ranges, and there's no good reason they shouldn't be improved upon.
