* The methane hoax hits NZ* * The "danger" of methane arises wholly from laboratory studies. In real life, the electromagnetic frequencies obstructed by methane are all also blocked by water vapor so methane does not add any extra obstruction* It might sound like the start of a humorous riddle, but it's the subject of a huge scientific inquiry in New Zealand. And the answer could have profound effects on the health of the planet. More specifically, the question is how to stop cows, sheep and other farm animals from belching out so much methane, a gas which doesn't last as long as... read more

Kari Lake’s defeat in Arizona may only be a temporary blow to Trumpism
Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake cheers with her supporters at the Republican election night watch party in Scottsdale, Arizona, on November 8. | Ross D. Franklin/AP We probably haven’t seen the last of this 2020 election denier. Republican Kari Lake, a far-right former TV news anchor who rapidly built a national profile as one of the most vocal proponents of President Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies, won’t be Arizona’s next governor. But even if she admits that fact — a big if, given her recent attacks on her state’s electoral process and that she’s repeate... read more

Yaska and the Meaning of Deva
The opening pages of Yaska's Nirukta Yaska, the grammarian and linguist of the Vedic Age, lived before the seventh century BCE. According to tradition, he was the the author of *Nirukta*, which is probably the oldest extant work of etymology in India, and contains explanations of words within the Sanskrit grammatical tradition. Yaska viewed words as the primary careers of meaning. In *Nirukta*, Yaska determines the etymological meaning of the term “Deva” (the modern equivalent would be God), by considering the roots da, dip, and dyut. In verse 7.15, he notes: “devo dānādvā dīpanādv... read more

Political bias, namely right wing bias, keep insisting that something went wrong last Tuesday night. Understandably, they were disappointed with the stunning overall outcome because their right wing echo chamber kept insisting since Biden was f... read more
