Canada is not a "free society"
March 24, 2010
That's all I have to say to Eric Michael Johnson's post, Ann Coulter, Hate Speech, and Free Societies. OK, seriously, from what I recall Eric is an American, though resident in the forgotten north. American absolutist stances on free speech are not shared by most Western societies, so demanding…

Elevator dude acted a bit creepy, he probably shouldn't have done that. Watson…
More on Matter vs. Antimatter

And many of you correctly responded that I had given too much detail and not enough explanation. So, I want to try again for all of you. Here's the explanation, starting at the beginning. The Universe inflated first, stretching it flat and making it…
Sunday Function
Again I have to apologize for the sparseness of posting lately, but I've got two research projects going full blast and time has not been something I have a lot of. I'll still be writing at least a few times a week, and you can't beat the price. ;) In any case once things cool down just a little I should be back to a more regular schedule. Today's function isn't interesting because of the…
