Review: Lost in Math

June 5, 2018June 4, 2018 / admin

One thought experiment that I love is the Theseus Paradox, which asks the question that if a ship is repaired and all of its old parts replaced, is it the same ship that was originally built or a new one? When looking at modern theoretical physics, I start to wonder if we're approaching a similar … Continue reading Review: Lost in Math

May 1, 2018April 30, 2018 / admin

Baby Shower continues the excellent story being told in Born to the Blade. This third episode does indeed feature a baby shower that is political not friendly.

TL;DR Baby Shower is another enjoyable entry in the saga of Born … Continue reading Review: Baby Shower (Born to the Blade S1E3)

Review: Fault Lines (Born to the Blade S1E2)

April 25, 2018April 24, 2018 / admin

In Episode Two of Serial Box’s latest series, politics, world-building, and a party feature. Where episode one, Arrivals, opened the world and the set the stage, episode two, Fault Lines by Marie Brennan, deepens the world while ratcheting up the politicking.

Review: When Einstein Walked with Gödel

April 23, 2018April 22, 2018 / admin

Review When Einstein Walked with Gödel Math and philosophy have always been two sides of the same coin to me. One uses numbers and symbols to build logical arguments, and the other uses words as its tools. While the goals look different, they are actually very similar. Both disciplines seek to explain the beauty of … Continue reading Review: When Einstein Walked with Gödel

Review: Arrivals (Born to the Blade S1E1)

March 28, 2018March 27, 2018 / admin

Serialized stories are not new. Magazines often published novels and stories in parts, but this form of storytelling fell out of popularity as audiences switched to novels. Novellas and novelettes also declined in popularity, but in the past few years, the form has gotten renewed interest. So, why not serialized stories? Serial Box is answering … Continue reading Review: Arrivals (Born to the Blade S1E1)
