Why Tolkien thought "sub-creation" was the secret to great fantasy and science fiction

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

People sometimes look down on fantasy — not the prize-winning, metaphorical magical realism kind, but the kind of fantasy that has swords, sorcery, and dragons. It is generally accepted that children can enjoy made-up worlds, magical beasts, and dark lords. But, when we become adults, it seems we ought to turn to “proper” literature — mature, respectable, and written in ornate prose. It’s as if the books we read are a status symbol, and those wh…Read Article

The Universe is not symmetric

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

When you wave at yourself in the mirror, your reflection waves back. But biologically, there are many ways it’s painfully obvious that your reflection is fundamentally different from you. When you raise your right hand, your reflection raises its left. If you were to examine your body with X-rays, you’d find your heart is in the center-left of your chest, but for your reflection, it’s in the center-right. When you close one eye, your reflection …Read Article

You cannot put the wind in a bag: How we learned to see nature

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

We are taught how to see. When a healthy child is born, their eyes go about things with genetic efficiency: blinking and blurry, but functional. A new world of color, shape, and depth overwhelms the eyes that have only ever been closed. These eyes are cameras on the world. They take a snapshot of whatever they’re offered and send it on to the brain. And this is where the real seeing happens. Early in life, you absorb your native language. We giv…Read Article

Romance at White Castle: How to do business the “evergreen” way

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

As a former associate partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers during Silicon Valley’s big shift, I witnessed the VC industry pivot from a proven forty-year playbook of managing risk to something much more aggressive: Get big fast. Don’t worry about profitability. Cash out and find another venture. After a while I grew tired of this model and wanted to find a better way to build companies: a way focused on long-term stability and steady growt…Read Article

CEO masterclass: 3 ways to burst the “positivity delusion”

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

One of the most important management lessons for a founder/CEO is totally unintuitive. My single biggest personal improvement as CEO occurred on the day when I stopped being too positive. As a young CEO, I felt the pressure — the pressure of employees depending on me, the pressure of not really knowing what I was doing, the pressure of being responsible for tens of millions of dollars of other people’s money. As a consequence of this pressure,…Read Article

Ask Ethan: Is dark energy just leftover momentum from the Big Bang?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Ever since the late 1990s, astrophysics has had a big puzzle to reckon with: one that still remains unsolved. When we try to solve Einstein’s field equations for General Relativity as they apply to our actual Universe — our Universe that, on large scales, is both isotropic, or the same in all directions, and homogeneous, or the same in all locations — we find that there’s a specific relationship between two things: the rate of the expansion of …Read Article
