The European Union is one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. Why is Europe so important, and at the same time, why is no one really interested in it? Dutch writer Mark Schalekamp set out to find answers to these and other questions and travelled to all 28 of the European Union’s member states to interview eight people in each capital city: a doctor, a police officer, a hairdresser, an entrepreneur, an artist, an immigrant, a sex worker and a local celebrity.

What is Europe? Wh...

The original idea that electromagnetic waves propagate in every direction with the same universal constant, the speed of light, corresponds with Maxwell’s Theory of Electrodynamics in 1865. With the introduction of the Laser it became clear that it is also possible to emit a beam of light in one single direction while the speed of light in the directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation equals zero. In general, the laser frequencies are so high that the Laser radiation will not...

A quote that is widely attributed to Thomas Fuller, M.D. (1654 – 1734) reads: "Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong." This quote leads people straightaway towards a wholesome way of working in establishing which information is relevant and needed, and which basic forms this information has. But because the practice of everyday life is virtually full of infringements of Thomas Fuller's statement above, it was inevitable t...

Relativity theory has annexed the reality of Time through the introduction of the abstract concept of 'spacetime'. Since then, this one sided physical conception has distorted our daily view of Time. Yes, Space is relative, but Time is not a 4th dimension of Space! Time is much more than that. It leaves its mark on Space during the course of history, not the other way around! Time flows and acts in Space as a rhythmically varying polarity - between causality and finality, between chronology a...

In "Out of the blue", a scenario is sketched in which the Warsaw Pact unexpectedly invades the North German plain with the aim of reaching the North Sea coast with a conventional attack. The attack stalled and the Warsaw Pact resorted to a nuclear weapon to force a breakthrough, causing a nuclear explosion over the city of Utrecht. There is an appropriate response from the Western side, followed by summit talks between world leaders via the red telephone, which is unsatisfactory. It brings ab...
