Ignoring the future means ignoring most of reality

Francisco Miraval

Most of whatever exists exists in the future, explains Frank Tipler in one of his books. For that reason, focusing only on the present or on the past means ignoring most of the reality. Unfortunately, according to Tipler, that’s precisely what most of us do.

In his book The Physi…

Ignorar el futuro es ignorar la mayor parte de la realidad

Francisco Miraval

La mayor parte de la realidad está constituida del futuro, explica Frank Tipler en uno de sus libros. Y, por eso, enfocarse sólo en el pasado o en el presente significa ignorar a la mayoría de la realidad. Lamentablemente, según Tipler, eso es precisamente lo que hacemos.

Francisco Miraval I recently submitted a proposal to a certain company and I was later told that it was a good proposal, but, regardless, it was not going to be accepted because, for some unknown reason, “the boss” didn’t like it. I asked the person

I recently submitted a proposal to a certain company and I was later told that it was a good proposal, but, regardless, it was not going to be accepted because, for some unknown reason, “the boss” didn’t like it. I asked the person who gave that explanation what he said to his boss…

¿Qué nos pagan cuando nos pagan nuestros salarios?

Francisco Miraval

Recientemente alguien me dijo que le gustaba una cierta propuesta para un proyecto de consultoría, pero que no podía aprobarla porque a su jefe, por algún motivo no explicado, no le había gustado. Le pregunté entonces qué había dicho él y la respuesta fue clara: “Nada. Ante mi jefe…

Our fixation with only one possible solution limits and weakens us

Francisco Miraval

I recently read an article about un experiment repeated several times to prove that since our early childhood we become obsessed with only one solution for any given problem. As a consequence, we limit our ability to find new or alternative solutions, which becomes a real problem i…

La obsesión de apegarse a una sola solución nos limita y debilita

Francisco Miraval

Recientemente leí acerca de un experimento que, parece, se realizó en numerosas ocasiones, que prueba que desde temprana edad nos apegamos obsesivamente a una sola solución para un cierto problema, limitándose así la posibilidad de llegar a soluciones alternativas o novedosas, una …

A dead galaxy forces us to rethink our ideas about the universe

Francisco Miraval

The issue is simple: a galaxy known as ZF-COSMOS-20115 existed and died at a time when supposedly those events didn’t happen yet, so now we need to rethink what we know about not only the evolution of galaxies, but also about the universe itself.

In other words, one more time we …

Una galaxia muerta lleva a repensar nuestras ideas sobre el universo

Francisco Miraval

El tema es sencillo: la galaxia ZF-COSMOS-20115 vivió y murió mucho antes de lo que supuestamente tendría que haberlo hecho y, por eso, ahora tenemos que repensar no solamente lo que sabemos de la evolución de las galaxias, sino incluso lo que pensamos sobre el universo.

What’s the point of perpetuating the past and making it our only future?

Francisco Miraval

I would like to know what’s the point of perpetuating the past and making it our only future, as if the past were the only possible and acceptable reality, when all indications are that the future is not and it never was a continuation of the past and, even more, there is a discont…

¿Por qué nos empecinamos en perpetuar el pasado y extenderlo al futuro?

Francisco Miraval

A veces me pregunto por qué nos empecinamos en perpetuar el pasado y extenderlo hacia el futuro como si el pasado fuese la única realidad posible, deseable y aceptable, cuando todo indica que el futuro no es, y nunca fue, continuidad del pasado y cuando todo indica una discontinuid…
