This is unfortunately just one of many examples of generally widespread malaise of conflating correlation with causality. It is especially common in certain "sciences" which typically involve a lot of data collection. Followed b

The orbits of the electrons very much follow the pythagorean (natural numbers) laws.

It is sad that even in this case, the orthodox line that "the ancients were ignorant about the movement around the Sun" is pushed by the very people who perhaps ought to know better. This machine would clearly have been a useful p

FB predictably reacted only when an article came out. It seems likely that they blatantly censor all kinds of things for their own partisan reasons. It is only when you have a friend close to the media outlets and are able to generate some

That fiasco with "parental controls" blacklists reminds me of when I was doing admissions for one of UKs universities and suddenly we stopped getting any new applications. School leavers are encouraged to search for universities o

"It is not bout killing off long words" rings rather hollow when it is followed by a list of longer words to replace with shorter ones. It is not the fault of the innocent words that someone may have misused them to feel important

Am I the only one who finds The List of Words to Avoid rather depressing? I mean I get what they are trying to do: minimise the number of letters. Yet, language is also about variety and not being really, really dull. Perhaps also about not

Of course this is a pro-nuclear article. It is by "UK Nuclear Institute", run by UK nuclear industry. First published in their "Nuclear Future". Come on, did you really expect it to be objective?

I was Richard's tester, in as much as I was one of the first to reach Wizardhood and thus able to use FOD (Finger of Death) on annoying and misbehaving newbies. I guess that was a precursor of today's Facebook bans but without its

EU started accession process with Albania in March this year. It appears to be following the same model as Ancient Rome, Napoleon and Hitler, relying on a constant stream of newly acquired territories to continue its existence.

Maybe my (ex) university was right to close down its Physics Department decades ago, after all. They timed it well, soon after all those predictions started going all wrong. The decision was taken by accountants and at that time I never tho

I still have that Algol68-R User's Guide on my shelf and remember to this day the excitement that gripped me when I learned from it about REFs. I went on to implement my final year project in it, which was considered by all concerned t
