Strega

Mine will be beryllium mirrors with a gold coating, just like the ones on the JWST. But it all depends on the wavelengths. Keep them varied and have fried goy for sure..

I will cover the outside of my spaceship with mirrors. Take that, space lasers!

Have great week!!

I put it down to the sexual competition between males. That’s why they are slightly larger.

I’ve shown this before.  Pre-human australopithecine males had enormous canines compared with females, until they abruptly became almost even when the human ancestor arrived, 4-6 million years ago.

Human males are a lot le…[Read more]

The great bulk of violence, gun violence included, is perpetrated by the male gender.

That’s true.  Most violence comes from men.  I put it down to the sexual competition between males.  That’s why they are slightly larger.

You could elimlinate almost all gun violence in America by simply forbidding anyone with an X chromosome to own or have access to firearms.

Do you mean a Y chromosome? XX, XY? I see your point: gun violence is almost exclusively male.

You’re right. I didn’t flunk genetics in college ’cause I never took the…[Read more]

Robert, That was some interesting reading in the database. One thing I note from the database is that only 17 shootings were motivated by “race,” even though 1966-1979 were some the more racially tense and violent times of the years in the database. Only 113 were “Domestic with Targeted Victim” even with sexist/…

I don’t buy Occam’s Razor all the time.  I think it’s artificial.  Something’s the way it is, not necessarily the simplest way.

K-12 School Shooting Database – online

Includes gang shootings, domestic violence, shootings at sports games and afterhours school events, suicides, fights that escalate into shootings, and accidents.

Doesn’t matter to you if you get shot at a Friday night game. Or if a kid brings a gun to school and shoots themselves. Teachers I know say hardly…[Read more]

If we arm every ape/human with a gun, what could go wrong? The NRA has an entire anti-statistics department working overtime to make 1+1=3. Because 6.3 school shootings a week keeps the kids awake and alert.

Surely we can never know.  But wasn’t there a story about another universe that had bumped into ours?

Umm, I know it sounds hokey, but like worm-holes abide in another dimension, dude.

Is it not possible to connect two points by travelling in a higher dimension?  I’m not sure.  A two-dimensional plane can be folded within three dimensions, we can connect two 3-d points by travelling in time.  I’m pretty sure that if you go up a…[Read more]

LOL, nice one! I’m currently favoring worm-hole action at a distance, while the worm-hole itself has the entangled particles behaving (or appearing) as if there is no distance between them at all. Umm, I know it sounds hokey, but like worm-holes abide in another dimension, dude.

I am not sold on the multiverse theory. Too many strings attached.
