When Daren was a kid he loved reading books on dinosaurs, chemistry, physics and unexplained phenomena, and he always believed there is a lot more to life than what meets the eye. It is no surprise that many of the kids called him “The Mad Scientist” as he would openly talk about his technical ideas [...]

While attending Queen’s I worked through my summer holidays and saved money for the following year. One summer my dad prompted me to create a computer program that would be of use to the university so I wrote a program that prompted users to input an element or chemical compound to retrieve thermodynamic data. I [...]

When I was completing my degree at Queen’s University in Engineering Chemistry I was selected for a summer job in the mining department. The objective was to build a device that could safely contain the detonation of a 20g charge of high explosive for the deeper purpose of measuring the energy output of the detonation. [...]
A Gravity Theory

You know how passing an electrical current through a conductor generates a magnetic field? Well, I have a theory for gravity that postulates that passing physical matter through 3-dimensional space generates a gravitational field. Space is like the conductor and electricity is like matter flowing through it. Imagine each atom making up the Earth – clouds of electrons buzzing [...]
