Qulog

Qulog may be moving to qulog.wordpress.com. I hope this would mean, apart from having a simpler url, less worry about technical details and always the latest wordpress installation. I’m not sure how I’ll like it though (maybe I’lll miss plugging in my own plugins?), so for the next few weeks or so I will be […]

Just to be a bit more clear: as I said in the first comparing post, I don’t think ID and QM are really comparable in a lot of ways (although it was fun to compare them on their jump and chance aspects). QM is an extensively tested and immensely successful scientific theory, while ID is […]

As promised, although a bit late, the second part of my comparison between Intelligent Design and Quantum Mechanics. I’m afraid there’s no real compelling conclusion, so that’s left as an exercise to the reader.

Einstein famously said he didn’t like QM because “der liebe Gott würfelt nicht”: God doesn’t play dice. And I think many ID-proponents would agree.

While I was thinking about the analogy between ID and QM (see part one), I figured something else was important, something to do with chance, or probability, and with - let’s say world views.

Three British girls dreamt of a cool science journal, and decided to begin with a blog. It’s called inkycircus and it’s well worth a visit. They do weekly round-ups of science news, as well as posts on geeky stuff (like a necklace called happiness, with a molecule model of serotonin on it), health news, science […]

I installed Spam Karma 2 to help me fight spam comments.
In case your real comments get eaten, contact me and I’lll see what I can do.

As spring is coming soon (I hope) and the birds are already singing, here’s a poem about a sparrow. It’s in Dutch, but I’m pretty sure that all you out there will understand it, even without using the babelfish in your ear.

Comments here are very welcome. Spam, however, is not (surprise!). Now that I removed the Bad Behaviour anti-spam plugin (because of the problems it caused, see below), I see a lot more spam coming this way….
Anyway, there are just a few rules here:
you need to leave your (nick) name and an email address to submit […]

Don’t mind me, just checking…

Just when my first post ever hit the Tangled Bank, this blog was impossible to reach for a large part of the day. “Precondition failed” error. This had happened last week, then the great system administrators here worked it out in no-time. But this time it proved harder.
Then I thought: maybe there is something on […]
