The Streets of Gotham Run Deepest Through Your Heart

image from: zombiebacons.tumblr.com    "We impose meaning on the chaos of our lives.  We create form, morality, order.  It's a choice we have to make every second of every minute of every day."  -Batman:  Absolution (DeMatteis, Ashmore) My dedication to the Batman is renewed every morning I lace up my Chucks with the golden bat symbol I drew on them.  "Guard my soul, guard my path" - It's ridiculous word play on the role of my feet and the soles of my shoes, but it's an...

Tenet #2: Holographic Universe (It's a Collector's Item)

The Holographic Principle model was developed when quantum physicist Gerard 't Hooft began to tackle inherent problems within the field of Black Hole Thermodynamics.  Namely, the idea that when an object is sucked into a black hole, it disappears.  From my understanding, this contradicted a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics: that information can't disappear.  Physicists like 't Hooft and Leonard Susskind found that when an object entered the singularity, the event horizon (the outer edge)...

Please Do Not Look Directly at the Bat Signal

    The Batman dies and returns as the Sun sets and rises.  Along with other solar deities, like Apollo, Ra, Baldur, Hyperion, Legba, or Christ, he can be associated with rebirth, harmony, compassion, masculinity, and beauty.  The Sun is the realm of the higher ego: Mathers' Holy Guardian Angel.  The God-in-Man.  Resurrection is a chief function, a condition fulfilled in Morrison's Batman R.I.P. and The Return of Bruce Wayne.  Sun gods are also gods of balance and equilibrium. ...
