"If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the Universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the Second Law of Thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation." -- Sir Arthur Eddington
The blog has been quiet for some time while I have been teaching myself video production. Here is the first draft of the first fruit of my efforts, a short video clip on exponential growth.
Albert Bartlett has said, "The greatest shortcoming of the human race has been its failure to understand the exponential function," or something very close to that. I've tried to convey his message as succinctly as possible in this video clip.
hello, i came across your blog when i was googling the proposed wal-mart in kenai. i feel alone in opposition to this supercenter in our town. in one of your older entries you mentioned a "kenai walmart no" group, but the website link didn't work.
is there still a group that meets on this subject? is there any way that i can get involved in this campaign?
