Does your house number starts with number “1”?
[I]"Does your house address start with a 1? According to a strange mathematical law, about 1/3 of house numbers have 1 as their first digit. The same holds true for many other areas that have almost nothing in common: the Dow Jones index history, size o...
Biology as the Grand Unified Theory of the universe
The article talks about biocentrism. I find the article hinting towards something good; but, on the whole, it is unconvincing. Not at all scientific, in my opinion.

Bizzare Universe
What is the fate of our universe ultimately? Does the fate keeps changing as we make up new theories? Now, a [URL=http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg19325904.400&feedId=online-news_rss20]new (weird) hypothesis[/URL] for the fate of our univers...

Search strategy in a Random Grid
Suppose we have a MxN grid with each cell having a particular (random) number. Also suppose that you are an organism capable of moving one cell left/right/up/down and accessing the number on the cell you are presently standing on. Moving takes away X uni...
Game Theory and Cancer
Do these things have anything in common? If you think no, then think again because the genius lies in connecting unconnected concepts in a meaningful manner. Robert Axelrod, a political scientist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, US, has applie...
Quantum Mechanics and The Theory of Evolution
I had a wild thought yesterday. The [b]Theory of Evolution[/b] can be analogous to the [b]Theory of Quantum Mechanics[/b]. I know this might seem ridiculous, but I may try to explain it a little bit. See, the states of a particle (position, momentum, spi...
Do you have GUTs in you?
Is the Grand Unified Theory really elusive? No, I don't mean combining General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. I mean some theory which thousand times more subtle and has equal importance as the grand unified theory of physics which would explain eve...
