September 18, 2018 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

Cover of Faith across the Multiverse

Beginning September 30th, join us for a grand conversation on  Faith across the Multiverse: Parables from Modern Science  with author, Andy Walsh. Yes, that's the weekly  ESN science blogger! Since Andy's part of our network, I thought I'd ask him a few quick questions: … [Read more...] about Faith Across The Multiverse Book Club Event

Science Corner: Sympathy for the Bedeviled

Last week's post on Avengers: Infinity War generated interest in a follow-up, so we're returning to the Marvel universe. Again, I've avoided spoilers, but I'll understand if you want to play it safe and wait until you've seen the film. It's perhaps a strange thing to say about a 2 hour 40 minute movie so full of stars it threatens to collapse into a black hole, but I feel Avengers: Infinity War was missing something.

I have done my best to avoid spoilers, but if you know nothing about the film's story and want to keep it that way until you see it, you may wish to save this for later. What does it look like to have a theology but not a religion? The answer may now be showing at a theater near you. Avengers: Infinity War, the 19th and latest installment in Marvel's ambitious serial storytelling project, advances the metaphysical aspirations … [Read more...] about Science in Review: Thor, Thanos and Theology

Science in Review: Avengers Annihilate!

July 30, 2014 by Andy Walsh 2 Comments

Last week, we looked at this article on the quest for validation of a multiverse hypothesis. If each universe in the multiverse is physically distinct, they might interact with each other. Those interactions could leave telltale patterns in the cosmic background radiation. (Cosmic background radiation is an energy signal from the early days of the universe; it's basically our universe's very first baby photo.) Find those patterns -- circular impressions, like you get when two bubbles bump into each other -- and you … [Read more...] about Science in Review: Avengers Annihilate!
