  Will Physics turn into Philosophy?

I recently talked to a friend who said the century of physics is over. The 21st century is about biotechnology, it's about enhancing ourselves, it's about designing our children, it's about customizing our food. Of course I disagreed. Not only do I think biotechnology will take quite a long...... [view]

  From a Distance

Take Off Each time I'm leaving California I feel like it's going to be the last look.

  Progress gone mad

I always feel relieved in more ways than one when, after long travels, I once again visit a public toilet in Belize. Now, I know that that is a strange thing to say, but I just hate all these 'top of the range' public toilets that are now all over Western society. I mean, what's wrong with...... [view]
