Difficult to know where to start, isn't it? On so many levels. Grant Hutchison

Oh. She might like books by someone I know slightly, B.R. Crichton. The first in the series is The Rage Within, which you can find on Amazon. It...

Can't you boost the front central speaker for dialogue, and wind down the volume on the rest? That seems to be an option on my (oops, sorry, "our" -...

Yeah, I know that study too. But in cohort studies the number of participants is completely irrelevant, if the design doesn't adequately control for...

Epidemiologists usually make some effort to control for these confounders, using things like educational level and income as surrogates for that...

Dingle never understood relativity. It's a long, long time since I've read Relativity for All (which I presume is the "small volume" to which you...

It would be nice to know which confounding variables were controlled for. All sorts of possibilities spring to mind, and (as the authors of the...

The Einstein-Rosen bridge is unstable - any infalling matter closes off the throat and kills the white hole. Or so the story seems to go. Grant...

Good for him. And good for his parents, too. I was frightened of the Loch Ness Monster when I was his age, because it seemed a little too nearby for...

No more that it's true that all it takes to make something not-art is to call it not-art. Grant Hutchison

White holes wouldn't eject matter, because they can't contain matter and remain stable. They would prevent matter entering because of a mounting...

But Muphry's Law concerns the inevitability of errors arising in any text that criticizes the proofreading of another. Self-referential name. ...

No psychoanalysis involved - just an everyday response to an everyday problem. If something makes you furious, and there's nothing you can do about...

You should try to get over it because you seem to be getting furious (as you have reported) about the usage of a word. That would seem to be your...

Yes, this has rapidly declined into an unproductive logomachy about different interpretations of the word "art". Personally, I find arguments based...

Why don't you just try to get over it and move on? Of course it's art. Art has no need to conform to your limited expectations. Grant Hutchison

Anything that isn't intended to be art. Art is in the intention. That was the whole point of my friend Brian's retelling of The Emperor's New...

That's not remotely a bone of contention - they are termed art. Looking up a dictionary doesn't do anything to change that fact. So either you can...

The dumb stuff tech companies do to try to engage with their customers. The Boon Companion, for reasons unknown, lets her phone send her photos to...

Back in the 80s, my friend Brian was so irritated by the constant invocation of "emperor's new clothes" that he used to tell the story to art...

I think it was a comment on your (correct) use of the gerund in the phrase "I don’t mind their asking me to sign up", rather than writing "I don't...

"Black Square" is century old; Warhol's "Invisible Sculpture" and Cattelan's "Untitled" about thirty years. But then, techno is thirty years old,...

Dingle actually completely misunderstood relativity, and just kept repeating the same misunderstandings (like the one you quote) over and over again....

Antibiotic resistance is something of a sliding scale - last time I looked, there were no strains that were totally resistant to all antibiotics. But...

Artists have, of course, done exactly that. You are left considering the motives and methods, and what they have to say about art. Andy Warhol's...

For I think the third time of telling - yes, I like that. Why is it that you don't believe me? Grant Hutchison

I don't think it's actually possible to like an entire movement, or perhaps even the entire output of an artist - we just like what we like....
