For all those who actually read this... I apologize for not posting in a long time. I've been preparing for graduate school and all my attention has been focused towards that end (such as preparing for the GREs). However, I will be posting all my work during the application process and after I've been accepted, such as papers that I will be using for my portfolio and towards my doctorate.

I've decided on writing a philosophical commentary paper comparing Leibniz's Monadology and contemporary String Theory in an attempt at drawing correlations between Leibniz's concept of the "monad" and the theoretical physics concept of the "string". In addition I may highlight other comparrisons between philosophy (in particular, metaphysics) and theoretical physics, such as the concept of "hyperspace" and the possibilities of higher dimensions and alternate, or parallel, universes/realities.

For those interested, feel free to read "Computational Monadology" written by Prof. Eric Steinhart. Many of my ideas and theories are an extension of what I learned from Prof. Steinhart. Use the following link:

In the meantime, get outside, look up, and enjoy the SWAN comet, newly discovered. Look for it in the northeastern sky near Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) before dawn. Regards.
