Today we celebrate the US Declaration of Independence. The US has been an experiment in liberal democracy. In many respects, the experiment has been successful as the average person today living in the US has more rights than enjoyed by most people throughout recorded history. Those rights, however, are at risk, especially the rights of free speech and due process. Without those basic rights, which are inscribed in the US Bill of Rights, we have no democracy and liberalism lapses into fascism, the dark "alter" of democracy. So, today I celebrate foundational rights and urge all Ame... more »

Theories On Pulsar Phenomena Aren't Theories

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 18 hours ago
A theory is a very precise thing in science - yet some scientists can't resist using the term to lend intellectual weight to what may be a hypothesis and is likely just reasonable speculation. It's a large part of the reason why the term has become colloquialized, and 'wellness' is equivalent to gravity in the minds of some. Physical science is not immune. String Theory put theory in the name, so it gets to skate on the edges of truth, but theoretical physicists are trying to recapture the Golden Age of the 1930s, plus write a bestselling book. Astrophysics should know better. Yet m... more »

All The President's Lies

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 19 hours ago
The American Constitution allows uncivil speech. It does not allow lying. But, these days, it's not just ordinary American citizens who are lying. It's their president. Lawrence Douglas writes: What happens when the source of uncivil speech is not some fringe hate group, but the occupant of the Oval Office? And what happens when the lies target the very organs designed to ferret them out? We have never faced such questions before in our history. Which explains why, on the 241st anniversary of our independence, American democracy finds itself in peril. We have grown accustomed to ... more »
