A View From the Top
Thinking of causation as a "two-way street"—along which the passage of information can be inverted—could have implications for the origin of life.
Classic Article: Black Holes, Paradox Regained
In 2004, Stephen Hawking famously conceded that black holes do not devour all information when they swallow matter—seemingly resolving the "black hole information paradox" that had perplexed physicists for decades. But some argue that the paradox remains open, and we must abandon our simple picture of spacetime to unravel it.
Quantum Biology: Making Waves in the Natural World
Could quantum effects explain the mechanisms behind smell, photosynthesis and bird navigation?
The Accidental Universe
Have we been fooled into seeing one form of reality, with particular fundamental forces and laws, based on the peculiar way that we have chosen to measure time?
The Cosmic Hologram
Is our universe an illusion projected backward in time from the future?

If the structure of the universe were a song it would be on repeat and played in the key of symmetry. If it were an album it would have an infinite number of songs. Here is a list of the first songs off the album.
Track 0: 3
Track 1: 3.1
Track 2: 3.14
Track 3: 3.141
Track 4: 3.1415
Track 5: 3.141592
Track 6: 3.1415926
Track 7: 3.14159265
The album artwork is attached. Please comment so we can discuss what this all means.
