Philip K. Dick, Neo-Nazis and the National Security State
It is well known in science-fiction circles that author Philip K. Dick was a mad, drug-induced psychic shamanic figure who glimpsed into the future realms on an almost daily basis for over thirty years, much to his detriment in most cases. What isn’t known so much is that during the 1950s he was friends with [...]
thunderbolts.info: Galactic Thunderbolts
Ahh, here’s some physics stuff I can grok. The Electric Universe guys never fail to make logic out of gobblety-gook: Consensus astronomers look at individual points of light and discover the most massive stars. Electric Universe observers look at the entire complex of filaments and discover the characteristic features of a galactic thunderbolt. “Mass” astronomy [...]
Time Travel Paradox. Or Not
I don’t generally delve into the subject of time travel because it’s kind of hard for my poor mammal brain to comprehend. Well, I kind of understand Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity (or is it Special Theory of Relativity?) because I’ve read science-fiction for 45 years and have actually taken physics courses in high school [...]

The Ethics of Neanderthal Cloning
For a break from space stuff, I would like to put forth an ethical conundrum of science; “Should we clone Neanderthals?” Neanderthals were a branch of humanity (according to mainstream science) that existed for over 450,000 years and coexisted with our homo sapien ancestors 50-60,000 years ago. They supposedly were less intelligent than homo sapiens [...]

According to ABC News, the unidentified object [...]
Tesla and His Death Ray
Like all big projects that never get funded, Tesla never got public support, or a politician with a big enough factory in his district to get some pork for it! From Gizmodo: Once upon a time, there was a great deal of talk about Nikola Tesla designing a charged particle beam weapon dubbed as the Death Ray. [...]
