- Why Scrapping NHS England sets the path to full contracted out privatisation.
Dismantling a central coordinating body like NHS England creates an environment where further fragmentation and, potentially, increased privatization become more feasible. Centralized Control vs. Decentralization:NHS England provides a degree of centralized control over the NHS in England, with standardized practices, budget…
- Brain-training games. What sorts of activities do benefit cognitive functioning?
Brain-training games remain unproven, but research shows what sorts of activities do benefit cognitive functioning Brain-training games sell themselves as a way to maintain cognitive function, but the evidence isn’t there yet.

- Riding out a Solar Storm.
A solar storm is a burst of charged particles and magnetic field fluctuations that expand outward in all directions from the sun. However, the Earth’s magnetosphere acts as a shield, deflecting most of these particles. What would likely happen if a…
- Yoga
In my short story,’Apocalypse Inc’, Eustace is a practitioner of Yoga. So naturally I had to look into the different types to find the most congruent fit for him. Here’s what I came across. There’s a lot of yoga out there.…
- The Great Dissolution
I was researching what other religions had an equivalent of The Christian Apocalypse and came across Pralaya. Pralaya, a Sanskrit term, translates to “dissolution,” and refers to the cyclical destruction of the universe at the end of a period called a…
- Dark Matter, Tachyons? What’s that all about?
The theory that dark matter could be composed of tachyons is aspeculative idea in physics. Tachyons are hypothetical particles that, unlike normal matter, always travel faster than light. According to current understanding of physics, they violate the laws of causality and…
- Evolution of Mathematical Awareness
Our brains inherent ability to find and utilize mathematical patterns provides a strong evolutionary advantage. On a more general level, understanding geometric relationships helps organisms navigate their environment, predict movements, and solve problems related to survival and reproduction. Natural selection would…
- Consciousness, Entropy and Negentropy
The tendency for order to arise in all aspects of biological and material existence (Terran and cosmological) that lead to possible life and intelligence might be a potential indication of a fundamental property Just as there is a fundamental law of…
- Intelligence as an Emergent Property 1
Intelligence as an Emergent Property.The fact that complex emotions are observed in various species beyond humans lends credence to the theory of emotions as emergent properties.Emergent properties arise from the complex interaction of simpler components. The whole system exhibits characteristics that…
- Some Types of Dialogues Large Language models Like Gemini Find Challenging
According to Gemini: Here are some examples:
- Latest on Dark Matter
Our current understanding suggests dark matter should be fairly uniform throughout the universe. However, there are some interesting ideas scientists are exploring to explain potential variations: It’s important to note that these are all areas of active research, and there isn’t…
- Dark Matter Discussion with Gemini
Cloudtales: Is there a pattern to the distribution of galaxies where the effects of dark matter have been seen? Gemini: Yes, there is a strong correlation between the distribution of galaxies and the inferred presence of dark matter. Here’s how: These…
