Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Note to readers: I know I posted this meme and comment back on 10/18 but I decided that, in light of the ever-growing amount of bus tracks all over Rudy's Giuliani's body as Trump tries to pin the blame on everyone else, why not a rerun?

*A new conversation with Prof. William Happer* Four years ago, Stuart went to Princeton University to interview Professor William Happer. When he interviewed him, he was aware that he was a CO2 (and its impact on climate) contrarian. Mr. Happer points out carbon dioxide is an important trace gas and an integral part of the carbon cycle, a bio-geo-chemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged between the oceans, soil, rocks and the biosphere. Virtually all of life on the plant requires CO2 concentrations to be above 150 parts per million. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere... more »

Vertical accelerations kill superfluid dark matter
The galaxies rotate close to the vinyl records – at least the absolute speed, if not the angular one, is almost independent on the distance from the center.

This is the simplest manifestation of the fact that without some additions, Newton's or Einstein's predictions for the motion caused purely by the visible stars' gravity contradict the observed motion of galaxies. There is a conceptually smooth solution to this discrepancy: postulate t... more »

In a stable capitalist country, the size of the government is always proportional to the size of the economy. The attempt to cut the size of the government in a capitalist country has a destabilizing impact on the economy—it leads to massive jo... more »
