No, sorry. That isn't going to happen. You can't even ask the questions needed to make advances in fundamental science without first acquiring the necessary tools. And if only you would make a start on that, even a beginning would give you much more satisfaction than you will ever get by fantasisin...

Talking about some topic with confidence on the basis of total ignorance and confusion about the basic concepts necessary for informed discourse is surely a waste of time by anyone's standard, isn't it? Suppose that someone who didn't know the difference between what is measured by volts and by amp...

Of course we made it up. Same with angels. Same with God. Look if you start from the propositions: "everything is made up" "everything we make up is equally true", then you create all kinds of fun nonsense. But it's not any kind of profound insight. If there are two guys standin...

For me, God is too complex to explain, which triggers the question, "do even you know what you are talking about?" But, I'd like to share a couple of ideas. God is overlooked in the theory of evolution as if he is a competitor. But our religions are often filled with traditions of "wh...

Please. You can't talk meaningfully about many of the questions touched on in recent posts without learning some real, hard physics and maths. Knowing what you don't know is really important. For a start, it saves you wasting a lot of time and energy talking nonsense. I found meaning the dumbest of...

Perhaps Google knows you too well. There are papers from time to time that propose alternatives to the BBT. And some folks get excited. But the BBT is the best fit to the evidence that we have. I certainly don’t see evidence of a move to abandon it. If by “knowing” you mean “impossible to be wrong,...

Best not to tell Trump that particular section of the wall came from the Obama administration or Trump would seek to tear it down. The article said Trump refurbed it. If something needs a little extra length, or height, Trump the man. But more the point, Bush got $50 billion for the wall just befor...

Thanks, SPG. Ethan Siegal has a blog called Starts With A Bang that I think covers astrophysics very well. It started out on Scienceblogs and then moved to Forbes a few years back. Here’s a recent entry on the antimatter puzzle. m I really like him because he clearly identifies what physicists don’...

Yeah, but Obama is taking for credit for the economy. Seems only fair. He is? Have you a quote? Seriously? Obama: "How about this economy? That was me, that was us! We did that. We brought the economy back from recession and gave it the momentum. At least Trump hasn't messed it up." Sourc...

This article seems bias. It does take the stand that separating children from their parents and putting them in interment camps then lying to the public about it is bad, yes. Yeah, but there was a lot of inflammatory reporting that skipped over the facts. But feel free to address these issues. . . ...
