Wide-ranging commentary and thought-provocation, mostly about science and general philosophy. A "paradoxer" is someone who enjoys paradoxes and posing them. Many of my posts are such challenges to complacency, pitting one assumption against another as in Feynman's classic definition. "We are left in somewhat of a quandary as to actually what would happen." ("Tyrannogenius" remains my Blogger handle. Maybe cute, provocative snark - but ostentatious for a title.)
Hello folks, I'm back after a loooong vacation. So: my popular-level article about "decenions," a new set of hypercomplex numbers analogous to octonions etc that I recently found, is online as an article in the current Mensa Bulletin. Link below. I think it's publicly available but let me know if any problems. Comments?

I consider myself a "Renaissance man" because of the variety of my studies and work. That includes consulting at J-Lab using G4Beamline to model muon interactions, teaching at various levels, museum guide, etc. I am lucky that Internet search for "quantum measurement paradox" usually brings up blog posts of mine in top hits. I've published some in physics, see Scitation, (the pipeline piece is not mine.) My print articles are about the relativistic dynamics of extended bodies, a sadly neglected topic. To send email: my original blog title still in the URL, at gmail.
