“Large galaxies grow by eating small ones. Even our own galaxy practices galactic cannibalism, absorbing small galaxies that get too close and are captured by the Milky Way's gravity. In fact, the practice is common in the universe and illustrated by this striking pair of interacting galaxies from the banks of the southern constellation Eridanus, The River. Located over 50 million light years away, the large, distorted spiral NGC 1532 is seen locked in a gravitational struggle with dwarf galaxy NGC 1531 (right of center), a struggle the smaller galaxy will eventually lose.

Chet Raymo, “Universal Constants, Universal Consensus”
*“Universal Constants, Universal Consensus”* by Chet Raymo “I once received a book in the mail, as I sometimes do, for potential review on this blog, James Stein's “Cosmic Numbers: The Numbers That Define Our Universe”. I often write here about books I read, but I don't review. I did glance at Stein's book, however. It has an audience, but it's not for me; been there, done that. The subtitle is provocative, however. The idea that a dozen or so numbers "define the universe." *That's* a mind-blowing concept. The gravitational constant. The speed of light. Absolute zero. Planck's con... read more

We are Living Through the Greatest Scam and Cover-up in Human History – Are You Prepared for What Comes Next?
This week the Biden administration did something that no other president in the history of the United States has ever done before: issue a federal mandate requiring people to get a "vaccine" as a condition for employment. Prior to this week, vaccine laws and mandates have always been a state issue. It is important to note that this is an executive order, and not a law. It is highly unlikely that the administration could ever get such a law passed through Congress. However, I think it would be foolish to expect that this will be overturned by the courts.

Why a Pan-European Aircraft Carrier is a Terrible Idea*Michael Peck* *Aircraft Carriers, Europe* Germany's suggestion to build an aircraft carrier for European Union nations would cause more problems than it fixes. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Most European nations don’t routinely send warships to foreign stations, or have tiny navies, or are landlocked and don’t need navies. An aircraft carrier would be of limited value in a conflict with Russia in Eastern or Northern Europe, or the Baltic States.
