A Gravitational Wave From A Black Hole-Neutron Star Merger 900,000,000 Light Years Away Just Hit EarthTwo new gravitational-wave events, dubbed GW200105 and GW200115, were detected on Jan. 5, 2020, and Jan. 15, 2020, but they happened 900,000,000 years ago. It took that long for the gravitational waves from two black holes gobbling up their neutron star companions to finally hit Earth. This first-ever detection of a black hole merging with a neutron star occurred during the second half of the LIGO and Virgo detectors third observing run, called O3b. Although multiple observatories carried out several follow-up observations, none observed light from either event, consistent with the... read more

Too Little Water Storage, Pseudoscience Environmental Laws, Plus Drought Put California At RiskMajor droughts in California happen every 20 years and smaller ones more frequently, yet northern California has not built major water infrastructure since the 1960s while the population has doubled.

During the current drought California is sending so much water to the San Francisco Bay, which doesn't need it, that they have to issue warnings for people on the rivers. read more read more

Upside-down world we live inWho could ever have predicted that right-wing TV evangelist Pat Robertson would interview whistleblower William Binney? Binney worked as the Technical Director for the National Security Agency (NSA) as a code-breaker for more than 30 years. Robertson ran for the Republican party nomination for president in 1988.

You'd never hear Binney on MSNBC, CNN, or many other 'liberal' media outlets. Why not? The world is surely upside-down these days. The pol... read more
