Premium Member Changing Trains
I used to ride the train from school to home and back, every other weekend, in an old Pullman car built in the nineteen-thirties. It smelled like my grandma’s house— a little musty, like time had curled up and fallen asleep in the cushions. Too warm, always, but the clickety-clack over tie bars and rail frogs lulled me to sleep, rocking me gently as if the...

Fashion Of Intelligence
Digital addict: What's life without internet It's dull and boring. Earth is energy Things you have seen and not seen They came from one source. Technology came Since time and immemorial They just hung up there. Air has wave you know It travel fast here to there Sending a message. Navajo code signs Makes enemy mind absurd Won the war easy. From rock to metal How the...

Advisory for Adversary
The sun unfolds, precisely peeking through the light of stars, dominating ink-spilled nights. Its rays graze softly on blooming wounds as sirens set off warnings of incoming dunes. O vulnerable soul! I pray you stay quiet, hold dearly onto the kaleidoscopic life slowly flowing out of your diluted sight. O transient time! I pray you stay still for...

The Silent Edge
In silence lies a hidden blade, A subtle force, in shadows laid. While others shout, their voices loud, The quiet stands unbowed. Rejection’s sting, a bitter art, Yet fuels the fire within the heart. Each “no” a step on paths unknown, A test of will, a strength full-grown. Watchful eyes with steady gaze, Unspoken truths through crowded haze. While noise consumes the restless sea, The silent...

Nuclear Nemesis : The Golden Dome
Written By: D. Collins 5/29/25 With no magnetic field nor atmosphere. Wouldn't radiation rain down everywhere? What physics are involved with explosions in space? And what would be the outcome of the human race? Would it completely throw our moon out of whack? Causing major tsunamis or have they thought about that? I'm no genius but I have simple common sense. Explosions...

WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW
What we think we know From the history book as we grow About how we become humans Might just be a grain of sand in a desert Religion taught of the creation A good will of a bigger being Who from dust mold, better carves The most intelligent thing on Earth. Early scientists say we evolve From ape-like creatures, bushy hairs Transformed from round...

Seeing Spots
Physicists may say, 'Random is not truly random, it only appears to be,' but another theory goes, (according to me) 'Not so when playing games of chance,' (and I have done the sums) for this experiment logic states, 'The odds in favour are 5 to 1.' As I spy with my little eye, seeing spots and counting dots on a regular die, (these don't go to 11) the...

Premium Member Experimental Scientist
A most important thing to do is to put on a sock before a shoe The method that is, by far, the worst is to position the shoe on first. An experimental scientist with pride, I only know, because I tried.  An exploration motivated by Gray Squirrel's observation:   Humans make a big to-do, because they wear a shoe. Another animal, of course, wears a shoe.  He's...

Premium Member Rolex
Rolex If it’s a creation, then science and spirit should explain each other. Not argue. Not compete. They should echo. Like a wave entering water— and the water nods. I was born into a field, not a house. The floor, the couch, the corners— they didn’t creak. They hummed. The rooms didn’t scare me. The electrons did. The lies— It came through pattern. Through footsteps stored in drywall. Through the breath...

Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
Altho' it's not E=mc squared, Albert was heard to theorise when he declared, "Carrots are relatively good for the eyes, it's a fact they'll make you see well and look good too, I'm blinding you with science, it's not hoodoo or a voodoo act." He then asserted, with a wicked grin, "It only hurts when you put them in." ...

Premium Member Science Friction
Friction can be tricky if not applied correctly. None - creates a slipping hazard on ice. A little - causes a blister on your heel. Too much - results in the collapse of a relationship. But just enough - will ignite a fire (outdoors to toast a marshmallow, or in your soul to propel you forward)....
