Science, Technology, and Magic
As a practicing Mage of the natural sciences I am afraid I must object to the contention that scientists and especially technologists could or should be at all likened to modern day mages. I freely admit that many scientists would appreciate the sentiment. Their egos sufficiently stroked they would nod contentedly and respond “finally, someone appreciates us, gets what we do, we are not nerds, you may have mocked us mercilessly at one time, but lo, see what we have become, modern day practitioners of magic, the mages of our modern world.”

“I Don’t Believe In Anything I Can’t See” — The Hidden Messages In Water
The Hidden Messages in Water Dr. Masaru Emoto revolutionized the way we think about water. He was undoubtedly a genius of his time, one of the first of those who put forth the idea of water’s consciousness. Dr. Emoto Believed, “ Water is the mirror that can show us what we cannot see. It is the blueprint for our reality, which can change with a single, positive thought.” — www.alivewater.ca/dr-masaru-emoto/

The Mathematical Constant: Pi (Π)
Fixed pi is a measure of the width and width of a circle in Euclidean geometry according to the natural definition. If the diameter of the circle is 1 and its width is pi, then the statistical pi is an odd number corresponding to 3.14159. The rotation scale and its width have changed to Euclides geometry in mathematics, physics, and technology. The size of the circle and its defined relationship and its width and width.

Deep Learning for Humans
Introduction We humans always have always anthropomorphized the things we created. The dates can go back to ancient Greeks, where Pygmalion — the Greek artist felt in love with Galatea, the sculpture he created and wished to give his creation a life.

Theory Explained: Simulation Theory
The Matrix... Arguably one of the greatest science fiction movie franchises of all time. Back when it was released in 1999, its plot about our reality being a simulation created by a more technologically advanced intelligent race was nothing more than a work of science fiction. Then, in 2003, all of that changed at the hands of a man named Nick Bostrom. His paper, published in Philosophical Quarterly, was the first serious intellectual publication to propose simulation theory. Since then the theory has gained a substantial amount of traction, even with some big names from silicon valley. Elon Musk shook all the skeptics when he was on the Joe Rogan Podcast. He said and I quote:

All* Of Your Predictive Analytics Questions Answered
What is predictive analytics? Learned sources define predictive analytics as the use of data, statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify the likelihood of future outcomes based on historical data. I define it as educated guessing with math and statistics, computer powered tarot, or Elon Musk astrology. Essentially it is the tech hype version of fortune telling or handicapping. Also the learned sources need to get their learning on because statistical algorithms, really? In contrast to what, normal algorithms that don’t use math or statistics? Sloppy, very sloppy.

The End of Biology
The power, influence, and perceived importance of the three horsemen (ML, DS, and AI) has continued to grow apace. This, despite the fact that machines can’t learn, data science is not science, and artificial intelligence (still) does not yet actually exist, and may never. The ascendance of these three technologies, I argue, has come at a cost. Part of this cost, has been the diminishing of the importance of biology. By that I do no mean to say the importance of the biological sciences or interest in biology even, but rather its uniqueness or, to make up a word, its differentness.

Beliefs Got Nothing To Do With It
I’m not one of those people that gets super pissed every time some ignoramus spouts off about how global warming is a hoax, or the earth is only 6000 years old, or any other such silly thing. In my view, there always has been, and always will be, a subset of people who simply lack the capacity or the desire or the intelligence or whatever it is, to comprehend and/or accept basic facts about the universe and the world we live in. I simply acknowledge that and move on, I most definitely am not out pounding the pavement, evangelizing for the scientific worldview, no matter how many science journals or science based media outlets tell me I should be.

What is Theory of Everything?
Theory of All (TOE) is a conceptual framework for describing all known physical phenomena in the universe. Researchers have been searching for a model since the invention of quantum machines and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity in the early 20th century. It is the ultimate 1-point concept, the ultimate concept or theory of the world, master theory, philosophical speculation, oneness, the all-encompassing, coherent physics that defines and integrates all the physical aspects of the universe.
