Dualistic Literature

According to theories of electromagnetism and particle physics, complexity in the universe emerges from forces of interaction between positive and negative charges in nature. Similarly, Zoroastrianism's dualistic theology sees the world as a emerging from the perennial struggle between forces of good and evil.

Although a relatively small religion, vibrant Zoroastrian communities can be found all over the world (and their rituals are similar to many Jewish rituals). I have yet to meet a Zoroastrian, but a dualistic view of good and evil is not uncommon in literature.

The good and dark wizards in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter, like the light and dark sides of the force in George Lucas' Star Wars and other characters of fantasy literature have introduced myself, and countless others, to compelling notions of good and evil.

"Some Wear Singlets" - The Battle at 74kg

Jordan Burroughs Every collegiate wrestling season sees new young wrestlers with great talent, but being the best wrestler in America is very different from being the best wrestler in the world. Also, the transition from collegiate folkstyle wrestling to the international freestyle is not always smooth. Cael Sanderson for example, the only wrestler to not lose a single match throughout his entire collegiate career (a record of 159-0) struggled to the make the adjustment. In 2000 Cael Sanderson failed to make the US Olympic team and failed to medal in the 2003 World Cup, but went on to win gold in the 2004 Olympics. Jordan Burroughs is the best wrestler in the world at the 74kg (163 lbs) weight class. Fifty-six wins and no losses in international competition, Jordan Burroughs has won every international tournament and match he has competed in since he graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2009. Burroughs is a huge celebrity in countries like Iran and Russia where the sport of w...

Critical Phenomena

Image
Most of us are familiar with the three primary of phases matter: solid, liquid and gas. If you think about it, phase transitions are a mysterious and mystifying thing. Continuously raise the temperature of liquid water and you won't see anything change until a seemingly arbitrary threshold is surpassed (100 degrees Celsius) and then everything suddenly changes - the water boils! It seems there isn't a smooth transition between the liquid and gas phase of water because there aren't any intermediate steps between them. I can raise the temperature of ice by 50 degrees and nothing will happen to the ice, but raise the temperature one degree above 0 degrees Celsius and suddenly my ice is completely transformed into water with completely different properties! Phase transitions are an example of critical phenomena – below a certain threshold one set of properties are exhibited and above a certain threshold a completely different set of properties are exhibited without any groun...

An Introduction to the Lyrics of Bob Dylan

Some Notes on Style Lyrics are an important part of Dylan's music. His poetic ability, unpolished and unconventional vocal style and the candidness of his verses contribute to making the lyrics of his songs feel natural and sincere without sounding sentimental. Repetition is important to music in general, but is especially conspicuous in Dylan's songwriting. The recurrence of a word or a phrase at the end of every stanza where the repeated words or phrase is indicated in the song's title is a technique Dylan used consistently throughout his career. This template of song writing may be related to the wandering and independent nature of Dylan's verses and allows Dylan to write in a way that is at once disjointed and unified. Dylan's poetry centers on a singular theme or image which is repeated and refracted through varied stanzas that deal with the central idea in their own way. Political Dylan 1962 – 1964, Dylan's “early period” of song writing is characteriz...
