I’m thinking of ice as a form of anti-gravity. There is no spaceship in the big cloud. The big cloud is itself a kind of ice-vessel-castle of anti-gravity-heavenliness, made of pure electricity. Am I right? Circles? If we strip your image down to its most exact physical and metaphysical core, the intuition you’re circling is […]

۱ Is there any connection, I believe there might be, with these two words and the Dari language? Specifically, I’m thinking of sha for tea. Could this also mean like, sha as in like a king?

In terse, clear archival mode: The phonetic resemblance between the Arabic ṣadaqa and the Dari ṣadqa is not accidental in the loose, historical sense, because both move through the same Indo-Iranian–Semitic trade, devotional, and household registers. But their semantic fields diverge. In Arabic, ṣadaqa is anchored in the triliteral root ṣ-d-q, whose core meaning is […]

The Orb

Neutrino Fundamentals and the Standard Model Neutrinos are neutral, spin-½ leptons that interact only via the weak force (and gravity).  They come in three flavors – electron (ν_e), muon (ν_μ) and tau (ν_τ) – each associated with its charged partner.  In the SM they form left-handed weak-isospin doublets and have zero electric charge, hence no […]

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz “The terms used by naturalists, of affinity, relationship, community of type, paternity, morphology, adaptive characters, rudimentary and aborted organs, &c., will cease to be metaphorical, and will have a plain signification.

The Unique and It

Pre-Sexual and Undifferentiated Beings: A Comparative Survey Ancient Greek Thought: Classical Greek philosophy and myth richly envisioned an original unified human form.  In Plato’s Symposium, Aristophanes famously describes primordial humans as spherical, androgynous creatures with four limbs, two faces, and “two sets of sexual organs” .  These beings came in three types (male-male, female-female, and […]
