M. Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, I&#8217;m S. M. Hood, the creator and editor of a this personal blog about my own philosophical musings. I have had an avid interest in science and philosophy from a young age, having studied some of the Greek philosophers, and some others well known throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a big fan of the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0081846\/\">Cosmos <\/a>documentary series by Carl Sagan, and have been intrigued by other documentaries such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0078588\/\">Connections <\/a>series and Brian Greene&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0377171\/\">The Elegant Universe<\/a> on quantum mechanics and string theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grew up learning computer programming from a young age, mostly having experience with basic C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL, some of which I studied in high school in a Computer Information Systems program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I studied a General Arts and Science associates degree at George Brown College in Toronto, and also some years at the Humber College School of Journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geometry was a favourite subject of mine in high school, and I have studied it on my own recently. Several years ago I started to teach myself calculus, already having a basic understanding of trigonometry and algebra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I greatly admire Isaac Newton for his contributions to science as well as his dedication to biblical study. I feel that I am similar to him in some ways, and do have a strong belief in God; I feel that some of my revelations are result of my faith to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MrSMHood\">X @ MrSMHood<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog started as some writings that began with a revelation I had about the fourth spatial dimension while reading &#8220;Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction&#8221; by Timothy Gowers around May of 2023.
