Science and religion have the same roots, and they still tackle some of the same questions: Where do we come from? Where do we go to? How much can we know? The area of science that is closest to answering these questions is physics. On the other hand, the idea that the universe itself is conscious is difficult to rule out entirely.Īccording to Sabine Hossenfelder, it is not a coincidence that quantum entanglement and vacuum energy have become the go-to explanations of alternative healers, or that people believe their deceased grandmother is still alive because of quantum mechanics. The notion that there are universes within particles, or that particles are conscious, is ascientific, as is the hypothesis that our universe is a computer simulation. ![]() ![]() Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it. encourage readers to push past well-trod assumptions and have fun doing so.” - Science Magazineįrom renowned physicist and creator of the YouTube series “Science without the Gobbledygook,” a book that takes a no-nonsense approach to life’s biggest questions, and wrestles with what physics really says about the human condition “An informed and entertaining guide to what science can and cannot tell us.” - The Wall Street Journal ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments The great circle book review![]() ![]() Then, there is Hadley, likewise an orphan and mistreated by her uncle, who turned into a dearest child actress, and has a breakdown at age 20.

Later, we see Jane grow into a young woman.Ĭharacterized by intelligence, an inquiring mind, and strict devotion to Protestantism, Jane had a strength I greatly admired. Anyways, she pops out a girl and is all FML I wanted a boy. I tend to agree (I saw the Miracle of Life… grosssss). Frances is yammering on about giving birth and how it feels less noble, and how she doesn’t like it because it is not dignified. The book begins with the narration of Davina Porter as Lady Frances of Dorset, Jane’s mother. Innocent Traitor is about the Nine Days Queen, Lady Jane Grey who was on the throne after Henry’s son Edward died. And really, if you don’t believe you can learn anything through fiction, then you have no business being here. Seriously, her historical fiction is actually quite decent. ![]() I’ve had Weir’s non-fiction on my TBR for awhile but had not done much digging into her fiction. I came across the audible top first listens and stumbled upon Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir. When I had signed up for Audible, I had no idea what book to use my free credit on. ![]() However, like Twain, I try to self-educate by reading voraciously. I never took a class where we studied the Tudors in depth. In college I squandered all of my European history credits on Medieval history and World War II. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Hope solo onlyfans![]() ![]() ![]() We went through their content, how they interact with their fans, and everything else they do, to confidently say these are the best Onlyfans MILFs of 2023. Well, it wasn’t personal, we had to make the cut somewhere. MILFs on Onlyfans are all so delicious, that there’s bound to be some amazing ladies you follow that didn’t make the list. The sheer number of astounding MILFs is way higher than we initially expected, and much to our delight, we had to really dig deep to figure out who should be on this list. You’ve requested the best MILF Onlyfans accounts from around the world, and that was a very difficult request to accommodate. They’re oftentimes the most interactive creator category as well. These steamy ladies are reliable, filthy, exciting, and often-times the most authentic and down-to-Earth beauties on the site. You might hear more buzz about creators from other categories, but the MILFs keep everything running. This may come as a surprise, but most of Onlyfans’ greatest creators are actually MILFs. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Aquinas summa theologica![]() ![]() Further, all knowledge is caused by means of a likeness. viii, 6 and this does not appear to be the case in the movement of an animal, which is caused by the soul. Secondly, because if there be anything that moves and is not moved, it must be the cause of eternal, unchanging movement, as we find proved Phys. Nor does it move unless moved.įirst, because seemingly nothing can move unless it is itself moved, since nothing gives what it has not for instance, what is not hot does not give heat. ![]() For the soul is the moving principle of the body.

This book got me right in the feels.My experience of university may not have matched this jock heavy world, but since the beauty of a large student body is in creating its own neighbourhoods, I don’t mind all the sports, plus it justifies the ripped heroes. Each story features at least one character who is an athlete, mostly they are involved in hockey, but there are also soccer and basketball team members, and the football players are the villains. These are young people coming into their own and figuring out who they want to be. Taking place at a New England college, Harkness, the stories are not light and yet avoid melodrama. I recommend The Ivy Years series by Sarina Bowen and will be looking into her back catalogue. So many “ new adult” romances, so little time. ![]() ![]() While far from qualifying as extreme horror, The Wide Game delivers some startling (narratively justified) gore that engaged my love of extreme aesthetics, i.e., the side of horror that pushes the boundaries of where art can and should take the imagination. This paragraph is for the part of me who likes the frosted side. ![]() As a result, the casual reader who wants fast-paced scares as well as the horror fan who wants substance will find much of value in this reissue of the beginning of West’s Harmony cycle. ![]() In other words, West’s supernatural worlds, like the best we have, flow from the world he knows, not from some new twist on the latest trendy monsters. ![]() ![]() The Wide Game is a tense, well-structured page-turner that draws on regional flavor–the fictional town of Harmony in an atmospherically real Indiana–that earns it a place in American horror alongside other regionalists like Stephen King and Bentley Little, not to mention Poe and Lovecraft.
