Dear OS'rs I thought the below article related in some strange way to OS. We don't know exactly how it works, or why, either, but it doesn't care, OS just goes on working. Probably relates to Chaos and Complexity Theory, too. The future is indeed unknowable. OS may be "irreducibly rando

Hello Space-niks! Perhaps inner and outer space are at some level the same. Perhaps Descarte's satirist was right: "I think. Therefore, I think I am." Perhaps for most of us, all of the time, quantum mechanics affects us all of the time, and matters none of the time. The effects are too small, o

I feel this article came up with the wrong interpretations As a mathematician, I ask that people do not let their self-confidence in integrity get bamboozled by words such as complexity and chaos. For starters, I suggests entertaining the ideas that complexity is simplicity if you look at whole
