About Me

Compelling, elegant, and innovative ideas have a power all their own. They can change OUR world more completely than any army. The REAL world, the UNIVERSE, could care less about our ideas or our understanding. It just IS. Regardless, in every sense of the word.I am interested in both: our subjective and anthropomorphic, largely invented, and completely human version of "the world", and the objective, rooted in measurement, scientific physical universe that we are just beginning to glimpse.By any realistic measure, our daily concerns, worries, triumphs and tragedies, family and friends, country, language, culture and religion don't matter all that much. But it is still pretty fun to play along!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

David Brin, Dan Simmons, Elizabeth Moon, Lois McMaster Bujold - Science Fiction and Fantasy Grandmasters all.Richard Feynman, Sir Richard Francis Burton, Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, John Adams - too late, but hey, we're dreaming here after all.Magic Johnson, Kareem "The King of Basketball" Abdul-Jabaar, Jamaal "Smooth as Silk" Wilkes, James "Big Game" Worthy, and most of all "Mr. Clutch" Jerry West. Thanks for a lifetime of great Laker moments. Too bad Chick Hearn is not still here to introduce me. I listened to all 33 consecutive wins on the radio, and it was like I was there too.
