Not speaking truth to power
This afternoon's EU Summit press conference, starring Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker, featured a question from a BBC journalist, Chris Morris. Did Chris emulate the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Jon Sopel & Ian Pannell in 'speaking truth to power', as *they* all did so ostentatiously with Donald Trump? Did *he* put 'tough', 'cheeky' provocative questions to the EU's powers-that-be and make them recoil with disdain or fury? Er...not exactly. In fact, quite the opposite: *Prime Minister (of somewhere)*: Thank you. I now open the floor to questions. We'll start with the gentleman in... more »

The number of reported security incidents in Iraq took another drop for the third straight week. There were 106 incidents mentioned in the press from April 15-21. That was the lowest count for the year, and the fewest incidents since 2013. That was due to violence being down across the country along with a dip in Ninewa where the Battle for Mosul was going on. By province there were 48 incidents in Ninewa, 22 in Baghdad, 12 in Diyala, 10 in Anbar, 6 in Kirkuk, 5 in Salahaddin, and 1 each in Basra, Kurdistan, and Wasit. *Security Incidents In Iraq, Apr 15-21, 2017* Basra 1 KRG 1 ... more »

Stephens's *Times* column is about climate change, but its first four paragraphs focus on the failure of Hillary Clinton's data-driven campaign. Stephens argues that we should doubt all data: There’s a lesson here. We live in a world in which data convey authority.

Why Do General Relativity And Quantum Mechanics Need To Be Unified?
Good description of what we have here. However as someone who has a deep understanding of relativity and the metrics necessary to unify physics, I am able to make a remarkably simple observation. It is that the inverse of mathematical infinity as zero fails in our empirical universe. Understanding just this means that the assumption of a field is a gross error that quickly fails even at the electron level. Throw out mathematical infinity and you quickly enter a world of hurt with all our theory, not least with Relativity although that at least provides an underlying geometr... more »
