A new author has burst upon the UD scene.  "Communications of the Blyth Institute" (Vol 2:1) has an article by a Gordon Mullins explaining something or other.  I can't tell you exactly what, although it involves Eugene Wigner, Physics and Math.  If you want more details, it will cost you $14.95 to purchase the magazine.

Little is known about new author Mullins, although he has been referred to as "The Wizard of the Carribean".  (Not "The Wizard of Minneapolis", which was already taken.)

Personally, I welcome Mr. Mullins to the debate and I am saving my pennies to read his words of wisdom.  Unfortunately, at the rate of a penny a year, it will take a while.  If you have $14.95 to spare, the trail to intellectual Nirvanna starts with a News article at Uncommon Descent

I could get access online (for good or ill). It's not too bad, never getting worse than this:

For instance, a contingent being B that depends on C might
exist in a world W and not in a closely neighbouring one W′ if C is present in
W but not W′; C thus being an enabling, necessary causal factor for B. By contrast, a necessary being F will exist in all possible worlds, showing itself to be a framework element for such a world.

Unfortunately he never gets as far as proving the existence of rice pudding or income tax.

Or how long it takes to fill the bath.
