Gregory Ryskin On Vacuum Energy
Although unconventional, the ideas of Gregory Ryskin on vacuum energy sound interesting to me, so I invited him to share them with you in this guest post. Ryskin's physics journey began with fluid dynamics, first in Russia, then in the US, at Caltech. Later, the flow of complex fluids, such as polymer solutions or liquid crystals. Then Brownian motion and Markov processes. In 2000, he became interested in geology and geophysics, particularly in the causes of mass extinctions and the origin of the Earth’s magnetic field. His current research is focused on cosmology. His academic hom... read more

Putin and Biden and sanctions
Presidents Clinton and Obama set the stage to weaken Ukraine, so there's no reason for Putin to fear Biden who bugged out in shame from Afghanistan. Why is Biden waiting to shut down the Nord Stream pipeline (a system of offshore natural gas pipelines in Europe, running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany)? Why did he shut down our Keystone pipeline making us dependent on others and unable to export energy to European countries at risk of Russian terrorism? Biden has a REAL Russia, Russia, Russia scandal on his hands, and not a phony baloney good times fake story passed a... read more

In Defense of Mixed Economy
Socialism is compassionate and wise; capitalism is ruthless and foolish—there can be some truth in this notion, if we choose to regard truth as a matter of majority opinion in all cases where moral, artistic, and political values are being judged, but it is also true that the majority is easily brainwashed, easily misled, and often wrong. Most people are not critical thinkers; they are incapable of logical thinking; to make sense of the world, they try to reduce everything to a system of simplistic binaries—they accept one pole of the binary as the good and the other pole as the ev... read more

Does smoking save lives? Covid vs lung cancer & heart attacks
Yesterday I was intrigued by an iDNES.cz interview with a physician in Pilsen-Doubravka, my suburb, Dr Ms Drahomíra Nová. As the headline says, she hasn't encountered a single patient who was really ill from Covid who was a smoker! Rock band Elán's famous song about a hot nurse from the largest (Bratislava and) Slovak hospital who causes the patients' hardons. Video by medical students from Trenčín. You can make a Google search and find answers of both kinds. Smoking is a great prevention of Covid; or it doesn't help, it's all misinformation. I think that if you look at the actual e... read more

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Fourth Stimulus Check, United States* Currently, there are no less than seven petitions in favor of a fourth stimulus that have collectively amassed well over five million signatures. Over the course of the nearly two-year-long coronavirus pandemic, Congress has green-lighted three much-needed stimulus checks to most eligible Americans.

COVID-19 Vaccines May Be Worse At Stopping New Variants, But They’re Still Lowering The Risk
The rise of the omicron variant has caused havoc around the world, just as the emergence of the delta and alpha variants did before. A pattern has emerged, with the world scrambling to respond to a new form of the coronavirus every six or so months. How can we reduce the risk of new variants appearing again and again? Firstly, let’s consider how they emerge. A virus reproduces by making copies of itself. Every time it replicates, there’s a tiny chance that an error occurs in the copying of the virus’s genetic sequence. read more read more
