DNA and the fabric of the Universe
The genetic code seems to not be enough to describe the complexity of a human being. In fact, it seems too small to describe most of the life forms. We could assume that the genetic code has all the i...

Genetic code (DNA) is not enough
Photo: wikipedia.org Genetic code (DNA) could be seen as the best compression algorithm that we have ever seen. Just think about it: in only around 1 GBytes, DNA could store the information to create...
Is Your God so small?
When I see the continuous fighting over Jerusalem... I would ask the people that are killing each other for a piece of "saint" land: "Is your God so small that He only lives on that little piece of la...

Audiophile music - 10 conclusions
I am passionate about sound quality lately. Here are my early conclusions from the research and experiments I did. This is the order of sound optimizations that you could try in order to improve the m...
Mathematical incompletness and life
A friend told me once that we are living in an Universe full of unprovable truths. He was referring to the Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Without being very formal, this says that there are many mat...

The meaning of human life - for me, now
If there is a meaning of life, then this meaning should only be achievable as long as life exists. You could still believe in a meaning "after life", however I personally find it unlikely. If the mean...
Intuition and neural networks
Human intuition behaves similar to a neural network software algorithm: it produces an estimation of a certain probability, based on prior experience. The same with an artificial neural network, human...
One should bet that a meaning of life exists
You have an intuition on this, even if you cannot articulate it probably. Every major vector of our existence is derived somehow from this intuition: why we make children, why we try to preserve our e...
