When light is low, our eyes shift from cones to rods. Known as the Purkinje effect, cones handle color in bright conditions while rods take over when light fades. Vivid reds nearly disappear. Blues and greens become more visible. Your eyes are working fine, the light conditions simply changed. What you see depends on how… Read more »
The world changed on Sept. 11, 2001. For those who were there, and for those who lost someone who was, I take a moment to remember them. History lives through memory…never forget.

The Lever Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” He was describing physics. He was also accidentally describing the political calculus of September 2026. Oil is the lever. The Strait of Hormuz is the fulcrum. And the same mechanism creating… Read more »
In December 1947, physicists at Bell Labs invented the transistor. It changed everything. For decades prior, vacuum tubes powered every computing machine ever built. The hot, fragile, power-hungry glass tubes failed constantly and limited what was possible. The transistor replaced it all, and not gradually. Computing itself suddenly changed. This wasn’t an improvement on the… Read more »
In NASA’s early days of space flight, there was a problem. Pilots simulated g-forces in centrifuges. At high forces, their bodies sent urgent distress signals. Heart rates spiked, vision narrowed, and they felt crushed. This seemed like a warning to stop. But instruments said otherwise. The centrifuge worked exactly as designed. Training wasn’t about making… Read more »
In 1972, the CIA quietly funded a program that sounds like science fiction. Physicists Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at Stanford Research Institute studied an artist named Ingo Swann, who claimed he could perceive distant locations given only geographic coordinates. In 1973, they asked him to describe Jupiter before NASA’s Pioneer 10 flyby. He described… Read more »
