Multiplex is an experiment, an experiment that will be on going. An experiment in publishing as I am not a professional writer nor will it be likely any contributors would be professional writers. Much of the content for Multiplex will be direct results from first hand empirical research that I am personally working on or other researchers are working on. Multiplex will also follow the work of other great researchers that are inventing new technology or new uses for existing technology. The experimental nature of Multiplex means that content can be dense and sparse at times. What we won’t do is write just to fill in space. We will aim to have regular content for the member-only area, This means that if you choose to become a member you are supporting the work of the writers and not an exact number of postings. There will always be free content to be found on the site as well as the X feed.—Brian Roemmele Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener n

ReadMultiplex.com: The Rise Of Electronic Medicine. A New Approach.
There is a technology that keeps coming back. It appears in a 1920s laboratory, vanishes under institutional fire, reappears in a 1990 patent, lives for decades in garages and small clinics, and then, in 2026, shows up on a catheter inside a living vein. The latest version is a magnetically…

In 1995, Neil Postman published a book with a Janus-faced title. The End of Education meant two things at once: that schooling as we knew it was coming to an end, and that schooling had lost its ends — its purposes, its reasons, its gods. He argued that a school without a transcendent narrative…
