Richard Feynman, and the Manhattan Project

Richard Feyman was recruited to the Manhattan Project in 1943, and in 1965 was co-awarded a Nobel peace prize. I came across him because of a letter on the internet he wrote to his dead wife in the 1940s. A romantic physicist. I have someone who likes poetry in my life, I was moved by it and wanted to know more. Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist, someone who was renown in one…

Aristotle short-changed us. Five senses? Cute, but primitive. Touch, taste, sight, sound, smell — that’s the Fisher-Price starter pack. Neuroscience in 2025 counts not five, not ten, but thirty-plus distinct sensory channels. Which means you are a walking cathedral of perception, a 34-instrument orchestra pretending it’s just a garage band. From Myth to Multiplicity The idea of “five senses”…

The First Real American Thanksgiving

  I set out to write the story of what I could find about the real first Thanksgiving. I came across stories that were more like Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving, to stories that made the pilgrims look like massacring demons.  I am starting to realize these days with so much information out there, to find “the truth” is difficult. It is like trying to find out who killed Kennedy. There are theories…

Lee Harvey Oswald; Assassin or Patsy?

November 22, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of the murder of President John F. Kennedy. He was shot 2 days later in custody by a Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby who had ties to the mob. It prevented Oswald from ever going to trial and keeps a myriad of details from ever coming to light.  While being interviewed he told reporters, “I did not shoot anyone, I am just a patsy.”  After he was…
