The New Enlightenment Age

A New Enlightenment, A New Scientific Revolution

What is Philosophy of Science? #Science "Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment."

- Friedrich Durrenmatt

"I think we ought to have another go at the Enlightenment and use that as a common goal to explain and understand ourselves, to take that self-understanding which we so sorely lack as a foundation for what we do in the moral and political realm. This is a wonderful exercise."

- E.O. Wilson

Hello there; I'm Rey. I'm a science enthusiast and an aspiring philosopher of science. I am awestruck by the vastness of our universe and I long to learn as much as I can during my time in the Sun. Take a journey with me into the workings of the human brain, the microcosm that is invisible to the naked eye and the macrocosm that continues to amaze us!

It is also the lightest exoplanet ever discovered around a star like the Sun. The planet was detected using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile.
