The Nutritional Aspects Of Expanding Populations

Order Is To Chaos As Dot Is To The Point

Usually, the laws of the universe are defined by some sort of relationship between chaos and order in an identifiable pattern, noticed over a period of time, predictable when and if the ability to co-measure allows for seeing events relative to the actual state of conditions contrary to collective delusion.

The Brain Myth

The notion that humans only use approximately 10% of their brain has been perpetuated without any evidence.

Depending on perspective, the Fringe is determined by where one is located when considering the line of vision, a constantly changing landmark effected by motion, sometimes described in language subjectively.

Missed Opportunities And The Zen Of Evolution
