   Most people in the blogosphere will tell you their beliefs about cold, because they do not understand how physics dictates how biology operates in different conditions. They tend to ignore these details because they do not understand it totally. It is not that hard as this short blog shows you. I find those beliefs ironic. I am reminded of a famous quote, “If science doesn’t fit in with the cultural milieu, people dismiss science, they never reject their cultural milieu! If we are involved in science of which some aspects are not commensurate with the cultural milieu, then we are told that our…

   And thus thou canst remark that every act At bottom exists not of itself, nor is As body is, nor has like name with void; But rather of sort more fitly to be called An accident of body, and of place Wherein all things go on. CHARACTER OF THE ATOMS Bodies, again, Are partly primal germs of things, and partly Unions deriving from the primal germs. And those which are the primal germs of things No power can quench; for in the end they conquer By their own solidness; though hard it be To think that aught in things has solid frame; For lightnings pass, no less than voice and shout, Through hedging …

   Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away. I showed in 2014, in a bio-hack and in [Tensegrity 5](/tensegrity-5-magnetic-sense/) *that a paleo template from two of their famous authors, simultaneously used with a co-morbid circadian mismatched life, could lead to a very counterintuitive result.* The science that fills your perspective is what creates your beliefs, fears, and truth. If you want to believe in unicorns there are many other ancestral groups that think food trumps circadian biology, and that water chemistry is not physics based. They believe the water in …

   Whereas nature by a natural fire decocts the metals in the Mines, she denies the like decoction to be made without a vessel fit for it. And if we propose to imitate nature in concocting, wherefore do we reject her vessel! Let us first of all therefore, see in what place the generation of metals is made. It does evidently appear in the places of Minerals, that in the bottom of the mountain there is heat continually alike, the nature whereof is always to ascend, and in the ascension it always dries up, and coagulates the thicker or grosser water hidden in the belly, or veins of the earth, or mou…

   But since true reason here Protests, denying that the mind can think it, Convinced thou must confess such things there are As have no parts, the minimums of nature. And since these are, likewise confess thou must That primal bodies are solid and eterne. Again, if Nature, creatress of all things, Were wont to force all things to be resolved Unto least parts, then would she not avail To reproduce from out them anything; Because whate'er is not endowed with parts Cannot possess those properties required Of generative stuff- divers connections, Weights, blows, encounters, motions, whereby things F…

   The risk of a doomsday scenario in which high-energy physics experiments trigger the destruction of the Earth has been estimated to be minuscule. But this may give a false sense of security: the fact that the Earth has survived for so long does not necessarily mean that such disasters are unlikely, because observers are, by definition, in places that have avoided destruction. Here we derive a new upper bound of one per billion years (99.9% confidence level) for the exogenous terminal-catastrophe rate that is free of such selection bias, using calculations based on the relatively late formation…

   We should note here that the apparent shaping of matter through the action of the qualitative characteristics that are projected on it either by a specific formative principle or, alternatively, by the activity of individual souls is carried out gradually over successive phases. These phases render the substrate receptive to a further stratum of characteristics that specify the properties that will appear on a particular body. Thus, for example, the originally shapeless “earth” formed by the fundamental properties of the “cold” and the “dry”, may become a definite quantity of a certain materia…

   In the third place, I am now to acquaint you that these elementary principles, which I call also Spermatical, as I call the former Seminal, are vastly different in the state of pure and of corrupt Nature. For in pure nature there is found a bright living crystalline water, full of spirit, power and energy; but in Nature corrupted there is a water that is opposite to this, being without Light, Life, or purity, without spirituality or strength, and void of all benign efficacy. Wherefore as a stagnated pool remote from the sun beams, or as a dead insipid phlegm, is not to be regarded or valued, s…

   Perhaps it is a comet or an asteroid that hits the earth. Chaos follows. In Siberia and North America, millions of large land animals, woolly mammoths, rhinoceroses, saber-tooth tigers, die instantly and become extinct. Siberia, formerly temperate, becomes tundra. North America and Canada, frozen in the ice age, go into meltdown. Glaciers miles thick on freeze, raising sea levels 300 f feet, drowning everything that was formerly at the seashore or at sea level. But a few human beings managed to survive and make their way to safe ground, carrying with them as much of their knowledge as they pos…

    The hard scientific evidence is not in the world ever, it only exists in the world’s mind as a core belief of fact, when in reality it’s just an opinion of a set of facts. Scientific opinions may have changed slowly with time, but the facts they still believe to be correct in biochemistry, subtracted from biophysics, still persists. Sadly our assumptions are our windows to the world; put Windex on them every once in a while, or the light of nature won’t come in and illuminate your mind. The essence of the construction of a “free-range mind” lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks. It …
