There are Buddha's teachings on healthy skepticism. Since the days of the Buddha, people have quickly fallen into the so-called blind faith. That is far from the authentic faith derived from a humble realization of our cognitive limitations. At the moment in our lives, we would inevitably encounter the situation that we can't do anything … Continue reading Thereof One Must be Silent

The Waves of Life
Since the Big Bang, the beginning of the cosmos, the fundamental basis of every existence has been "spacetime." In physics, it’s the gravitational continuum that makes the universe substantial. Such spacetime makes everything exist; and, everything has the beginning and end. Without spacetime, we never have asked such questions as when, where, and what. There … Continue reading The Waves of Life
The Integral Approach
In physics, a theory of everything (ToE) signifies an effort of cosmological breakthrough. It is supposed to fill the chasm of ignorance between general relativity and quantum mechanics. With this effort, ToE could be an ultimate theory to understand the mysteries of Big Bang, Black Holes, and Dark Energy. Despite this bold attempt, the focus … Continue reading The Integral Approach
A Theory of Everything
An attempt like a theory of everything could imply both metaphysics and physics. When we say the theory of everything (ToE) in the field of physics, it means the ultimate idea that integrates all the fundamental laws for the physical universe, especially for the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics. On the other hand, … Continue reading A Theory of Everything
Philosophy of X
The moment of reflection is essential and fundamental, even indispensable. When we are busy with our lives, we are not so reflective. What mainly occupies in our minds could be what we have to do today, tomorrow, or a few weeks, months, years from now on. Or, we recall our past. We live for yesterday, … Continue reading Philosophy of X
Seeking Knowledge and Wisdom
Life is difficult. As long as our ego dictates our lives, we can never get out of this mindset. It is inevitable. Being in this world and of this world, we can't be wholly egoless and selfless. Even saints and angels have a subtle sense of their ego and self. Given such a condition, we … Continue reading Seeking Knowledge and Wisdom
Schrödinger’s Cat
Schrödinger's cat is one of the well-known thought experiments to explain the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. In the extreme microscopic scale, we can no longer observe things in the manner that Newtonian physics works. Observing things in the quantum level, what we see would be no longer distinctive between particles and waves. As commonly … Continue reading Schrödinger’s Cat
