So basically, every memory we have ever had is physically imprinted in our brain and is represented by its own tangible neuron?

The World is Your Oyster
The phrase originated from William Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, circa 1600. The line reads:
“Why then the world’s mine oyster/Which I with sword will open.”
Unfortunately, time has weathered away the last part of the phrase, thus invoking a sense of entitlement without work. We must see that we are the only ones who can open the shell. Then, we will...

A refreshingly realistic look at life in the city for 20 somethings that is the antithesis of Sex and the City. The glitz and glam of our generation of party girls is replaced with the morbid reality of post modern economics and a job market that is almost extinct for recent college graduates. For this, I will turn the tv back on.

On the eve of the 21st century, a new generation of professional women entered the work force. With them, a trend in feminist surnames was emerging: the taking of their husbands’ last names as their own. Is the trend a shift backward? Or does it indicate the completion of a circle? Despite what people may think, the trend certainly symbolizes a desire for simplicity. The past three decades saw...

Gleaming the Light
That singular point in time, no matter how fleeting, when you are awash in the knowing that everything is as it’s supposed to be.

The Not So Hidden Pagan Origins of Easter
Easter is a celebration of resurrection. Christianity claims the holiday by celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But Easter, like all Christian holidays, was stolen from the Pagans when Christianity declared this holiday for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When in reality, Easter is just a recycling of Pagan and ancient resurrection tales. In their efforts to indoctrinate Pagans,...

Mystery of human consciousness illuminated:... →
Awakening from anesthesia is often associated with an initial phase of delirious struggle before the full restoration of awareness and orientation to one’s surroundings. Scientists now know why this may occur: primitive consciousness emerges first.

PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to...

Complex software models are used to understand the results from the Large Hadron Collider. These include simulations of the particle physics in the proton-proton collisions, as well as of the material and geometry of the detectors and the strength of the various magnetic fields. As more data are accumulated, the required precision of this software increases.
A recent review recommended that the...
