The Spinning Universe

by John Cryan – November 22, 2022 God was a southpaw when Hre threw out that first superchaonic pitch. Hris dexterous move with the hand sinister led to an initially ‘perfect’ Right-Handed Universe that spun just this side of infinitely fast on a near-perfect axis like a perfect SuperEarth with virtually no wobble or tilt. The Spinning Universe

Creating a UN with Teeth

by John Cryan The UN Charter contains a flaw fatal. Its Security Council has five ‘permanent members,’ any of which can veto any action in either the Council or the General Assembly. Two of those five members are brutal dictatorships armed with nuclear weapons. One has the largest landmass of any country, the other the Creating a UN with Teeth

Our Place in the World

By John Cryan James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar has established and held the global box office record for many years. It resonated with audiences of all ages all over the world, chiefly because it brought to visible life the intricate interconnections of a mythological Gaia.

by John Cryan Chaonic physics drives every force and process in the Universe. This includes all forms of biological Convolution.

By John Cryan ~ September 3, 2023 ~ In The Chaonic Economy, the concept of effective body size was introduced. The same concept applies to politics. Politics, culture and economics are completely intertwined. Chaons rule them all. The standard continuum of politics runs left-right. Instead of being a linear dualistic paradox, though, it runs in The Third Way: Chaons and Politics

Chaons and Evil

by John Cryan Despite living in a nodally-perceived world, we humans do, subconsciously at least, occasionally truck in very primitive forms of continua. The most familiar are scales based on our hands: binaries or dualities (two hands) like bad or good; five-star rating scales, made ubiquitous by the internet (one hand’s worth of fingers); and Chaons and Evil

Making New Science Emerge from the Old

Some Important Implications of the Chaon-Convolution Theory by John Cryan Anyone who has studied the history of science even casually knows science is not magic. It takes hardwork, discipline, organization, persistence, communication, resources, and luck.
