My name is Jan Kmetko. I teach at Santa Rosa Junior College in California, and in the summers I volunteer at Mount Wilson Observatory. I love physics and astronomy.
I started this blog to express my ideas about the universe and life without making the posts needlessly academic.
The site has two main areas:
- Teaching — learning tips and selected lessons.
- Personal — essays and reflections on philosophy, science, astronomy, and life.
I write for curious readers who enjoy careful thinking in an informal format. My personal essays are classified by reading depth: choose light articles for casual reading and deep articles for heavier mental engagement.
If you would like to make a public comment or ask a question about one of my posts, email me. I may include your comment under the essay, either anonymously or with your name.
