A missing piece of the puzzle
January 22, 2017
I've been puzzling over the rationale for some recent events... Exxon has a large contract to develop oil and natural gas resources in the Russia. This can only go forward if sanctions on Russia are lifted, which seems likely to happen in the near future. But, there is too much oil and capacity to…

The Aspen Art Museum is doing a series of interdisciplinary lectures, titled "Another Look" Another Look Lecture: Gabriel Orozco & Cosmology - so this is a thing. I did one of the lectures. The first one, I gather. It was quite an interesting experience, for me at least. Good fun, riffing on…

But that's how these things work. In the end, America will Choose. A…
The Stars Of Andromeda, Inside And Out, As Revealed By Hubble (Synopsis)
“He who would search for pearls must dive below.” -John Dryden If you want to know what types of stars are found all throughout a galaxy, looking at our own simply won't do: too much of it is obscured by the plane and our position within it. But there's an even more impressive galaxy -- Andromeda -- just 2.5 million light years away. And thanks to the power of the Hubble Space Telescope, we've…
Reverse Terraforming (for Supervillains only)
"The Earth destroys its fools, but the intelligent destroy the Earth." -Khalid ibn al-Walid Usually, when we talk about terraforming, we think about taking a presently uninhabitable planet and making it suitable for terrestrial life.
