  • Classical Elements as States of Matter

    Classical Elements as States of Matter

    The ancients described the world through the classical elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Modern science and chemistry debunked that long ago, yet those categorizations look eerily similar to what was finally formalised the the 20th century, the four states of matter. Is this history’s greatest coincidence?

  • Mathematics: Principles & Structures of Quantity

    Mathematics: Principles & Structures of Quantity

    This is part 1 of a new series of mine that is getting back to the roots of mathematics, showing how it is primarily about dealing with quantities, how they can be categorized, and what sort of patterns can be discovered by doing so.

    Glowing Hearts Canada

    Hi, I’m Stuart, and I’ve started a project called Glowing Hearts Canada. I’ve been asking Canadians, what comes to mind when you sing,“ with glowing hearts we see thee rise?” What makes your heart glow? Some amazing responses have come in so far. Even Fubar’s Give’r Terry gave a response, and we’d like to collect more. This past Canada Day,…

  • State of Some Philosophy Today

    State of Some Philosophy Today

    Some philosophy today is in a bit of a sad state. I am often met with articles on my newsfeeds disputing some of the most obvious aspects of existence. Does time exist? What is truth? Do we really have free will? These are not things that we should be questioning in this day and age. Is this really what people…

  • New Preprint Up on PhilPapers.org

    New Preprint Up on PhilPapers.org

    https://philpapers.org/rec/HOOFGA Four-Dimensional Geometry as the Motion History of Three-Dimensional Forms AbstractThis paper presents an interpretation of four-dimensional polytopes as representing the motion history of their base three-dimensional forms. Rather than treating the “4D edges” of the tesseract and pentatope as extensions into a fourth orthogonal direction in space, this paper treats them as paths of motion between an initial state…

  • Motion: The Fourth Spatial Dimension

    Motion: The Fourth Spatial Dimension

    What if the fourth dimension isn’t simply just time, or some unreachable spatial axis that many academics continue to teach about today? What if it is something that has been in plain sight this whole time — something we experience in every moment? In Motion: The Fourth Spatial Dimension, Stuart Hood presents a bold and original thesis: that motion itself…

  • Political Divide

    Political Divide

    As the days go by, more and more is happening in the world, and I notice more and more of a political divide. Now, given that we all posses the same mental capacities, it seems very odd to see such a divide in politics. I know some of it can come from partisanism, people supporting whoever they are politically affiliated…
