Quantum Gravity - the Hardest Problem in Physics

 

Video is a couple years old - have to wonder if new discoveries have impacted our understanding of quantum gravity.

Liberation Day

Golden Rule: Treat others as you would wish to be treated.

Have a pro-Liberation Day post up on Substack.

The US and other nations have known Donald Trump plans to implement reciprocal tariffs for a long time. It was even something he ran for President on. Do people think he didn't really mean it? Or have they become so used to treating the US unfairly that anything new seems unfair? Either way - April 2nd has been dubbed Liberation Day. These tariffs are supposed to be effective immediately. And these are to go along with tariffs he's already announced.

The Liberation Day tariffs are scheduled to be announced today, April 2nd at 4:00 PM.

Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

You are supposed to express gratitude every day and I'm grateful for many things. Today I'm also grateful that the Boston Celtics seem to be peaking at the right time - just at the end of the regular season heading into the NBA playoffs. Have to appreciate a team like this while it lasts. Players get older and the salary cap isn't going away.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Think the current political climate can best be explained by the left severely overplaying their hand because they didn't really have anyone at the top in charge. What we're seeing now is the right taking action to fix this over-reach and in the process also exposing all the waste and fraud that had been built up over time. Or in the language of the day - draining the swamp.
