However, I still have many questions: If we assume a single Natural Universe with nothing before it or beyond it, with all energy, all matter, all space, all time, wouldn’t this mean there can be no “balloon,” no “surface,” no “outside,” no force to expand space “inside” the “balloon?”

And if Relativity doesn’t ap…

And, of course, the part of Donald Trump’s brain that pauses between thought and speech and speech and action doesn’t work at all.

This is spot on, of course. But I’m worried, in spite of the obvious harm of Project 2025 (“P2025”) as it is executed, that perhaps irrepairable harm is the goal of wannabee oligarchs. Or, may…[Read more]

This is published by David McWilliams in an Irish broadsheet on Jan 4th 2025:

A country can threaten tariffs and talk tough when it is owed money. When it owes money, that’s a different story.

We are heading into a trade war. That’s what the United States wants and that’s what the world will get.

In 2025 it will become increasingly obvio…[Read more]
