The universe is a symphony
When Michio Kaku talks, people should listen. Not because when, as a high school student, he built a particle accelerator in his family’s garage. Or because Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb, tried to recruit him (unsuccessfully) into a Star Wars weapons development program. Listening to him yesterday being interview by NPR’s Terry Gross (transcript), I … Continue reading

The Alchemist, Arabian Nights, and a Farm Boy
Years ago, I happened to read The Alchemist and One Thousand and One Arabian Nights back-to-back. Strange coincidence, actually, as it turns out that author Paulo Coelho had obviously plagiarized Nights’ Tale #14 “The Ruined Man who Became Rich Again through a Dream”. Recently returned from my own, Alchemist-style epic backpacking adventures across Asia, I encountered such amazing things that I … Continue reading
