Shalya’s Advise to Karna“A jackal, O Karna, residing in the forest in the midst of hares regards himself a lion till he actually sees a lion.” ~ King Shalya of Madra Kingdom (who is the brother of Madri, the mother of Nakula and Sahadeva) says these words to Karna during the great Mahabharata War, when Karna asserts that no power can stop him from fighting Arjuna in the battlefield. The age of relative peace that had dawned in Europe after the Second World War, due to some historical factors and Pax Americana, had made the West European nations believe that they were the lions in a world full of hares.

Vertex algebra of one free bosonLHC excesses: this new CMS paper studied four-jet final states (I looked at 5-10 other papers in recent days). There are two events at \(8\TeV\) as the (very high) four-jet invariant mass, producing a 3.9/1.6 sigma local/global excess. The dijet mass has a peak at \(950\GeV\), just like in this ATLAS search, and the local/global excess (see Figure 11) is 3.6/2.5 sigma! Before his channel is going to return to his series about the foundations of quantum mechanics, Edwin Steiner posted a new video on the vertex algebra of one free boson two days ago. It should be fun to watch. (adsbyg... read more

Biden deliberately inflicting financial pain on Americans to push Big GreenBiden started on day one a war on American fossil fuels and his Energy Secretary sadistically laughs at the pain of American consumers. His Transportation Secretary tells Americans to buy expensive electric cars and makes no mention of how that electricity will be produced. We already know that wind and solar are unreliable and also vulnerable to extreme weather, but that is about all he has got since the Big Green climate kooks do not like nuclear energy either. Their plan is to make fossil fuels so expensive that the financial pain they cause will get people to accept the Big... read more

The Price Of GasolineGasoline prices are higher than they have been in a very long time. Paul Krugman writes: There are three things you need to know about gasoline prices. First, the price of crude oil — the stuff that comes out of the ground — is set in a global market, not country by country. Second, fluctuations in the price of gasoline, which is refined from crude, overwhelmingly reflect fluctuations in that global price. Third, U.S. policy has little effect on world oil prices, and virtually none at all in the short run — say, the 14 months that Biden has been in office. About crude prices: A n... read more

Stimulus Check Update: White House Aims to Replenish Coronavirus Funds*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Checks, United States* President Biden's White House is calling for further funding for COVID-19 testing and treatments but hasn't ruled out further stimulus checks.
