The “close” is a mechanism, not just a timestamp. This essay explains how daily and weekly closes differ in auction/settlement, liquidity, and halt structure—why that creates gaps, and how those gaps behave across futures, FX, and crypto.
A European robin “sees” Earth’s magnetic field through quantum effects in its eye—an elegant bridge between physics and life. This essay follows how cryptochrome, radical pairs, and entanglement helped launch quantum biology and reframes what it means to navigate.
“Letting go” has become the modern mantra. Yet if we relinquish all we desire, what remains to root a life? This piece argues for open-handed love—attachment, protection, loyalty—and the chosen weight of responsibility: showing up for one another, guiding and growing together. Is this not what life is about?
Investing and trading aren’t opposites so much as different relationships to time. This guide clarifies frames—from scalping to position trading—and argues that most edge is born in ranges, not headlines. Choose your horizon, respect its rules, and let discipline—not drift—set your course.
If time is not a river or a dimension but only the distance between events, what then becomes of us? Is a life measured by years, or by the density of change it contains? This essay traces the haunting question of time—not to answer it, but to wander through its puzzles: the minus sign in the line element, the ghost of dt, antimatter’s supposed reversal, and the possibility of a physics without clocks. Time appears less as something we move through and more as something we ourselves measure—a spacing of events that refuses ever to be final.
Wars are not only fought on battlefields but in balance sheets. From Lockheed Martin’s rising stock to British Gas’s soaring profits and offshore billions siphoned by corrupt aides, conflict becomes the perfect laundromat—where fear, scarcity, and blood are spun into profit. This essay exposes how war launders money, legitimacy, and power in plain sight.
Why does our universe exist in matter, when physics tells us it should have been born in perfect balance with antimatter? From CPT symmetry to Feynman’s vision of particles moving backward in time, from Penrose’s maps of spacetime to Hawking’s idea of imaginary time, the mystery deepens. This essay explores a radical possibility: that antimatter was never lost, but displaced into a shadow universe, unfolding along a different rhythm of time. Could this hidden twin still whisper across the folds of spacetime — perhaps even reaching from tomorrow into today?
