Solving problems in more than four dimensions
Immanuel Kant wrote in Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (1783): “That everywhere space (which is not itself the boundary of another space) has three dimensions and that space in general cannot have more dimensions is based on the proposition that not more than three lines can intersect at right angles in one point. This proposition […]
The Many-Worlds Interpretation
of quantum mechanics
The Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics was outlined in 1957 by Hugh Everett. Everett was a brilliant theoretician whose Many-Worlds theory failed to find support in his lifetime. His formulation is re-emerging as an important facet of contemporary thought in part because no less a thinker than Stephen Hawking is a strong proponent. Despite a […]

Basics of the National Electrical Code
and the Locations it Covers
The National Electrical Code (NEC) on its own has no legal status. It is managed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for the benefit of jurisdictions that wish to enact it into law. In the U.S., these entities are mostly individual states, although some states such as New York and Illinois delegate this function […]
