What The Left And Right Can Learn From Quantum Theory
The new film Arrival touches on a basic theory of time, that it is never ending, or circular. The circle could be seen as a metaphor, but if you read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time he explains that on a long enough plane, time can theoretically bend back onto itself due to the ...

Why Isn’t Election Night More Violent?

Why Isn't Election Night More Violent?
Presidential Election Day in America is not statistically more violent than the same day in non-election years. That’s troubling.
