  1. On Feb 18 it will land...hopefully. This one looks like Curiosity but with more tricks. It will test a chopper and try extracting O directly from the thin atmosphere. I always thought they had to find water ice to make oxygen. It will leave behind core samples for someone to pick up in a later mission.

  2. "Einstein abandoned the concept in 1931 after Hubble 's discovery of the expanding universe. From the 1930s until the late 1990s, most physicists assumed the cosmological constant to be equal to zero. when did einstein learn cosmological constant was wrong - Bing
  3. I just heard about "seditious conspiracy" in the news. This seems like what happened on Jan 6th. Anyone involved in a conspiracy, where a murder takes place, may be charged with that murder. Who exactly was involved in this conspiracy? If a gang hires a get-away driver for a bank robbery, and the driver does nothing but drive for the gang, and there was NO plan of murdering anyone, BUT a member of the gang commits murder during the robbery, the driver is also charged with murder. "Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a crime under United States law. It is stated as follows: "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both." Seditious conspiracy - Wikipedia "The first amendment of the U.S. constitution protects people who have differing ideas from rest of the population. But these rights are not available to persons who make threats. The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that free speech extends to protests, the exchange of ideas, and points in debate, but it does not include direct threats to a person's safety."

  4. In their point of view. That is how they explain it. My brother complained he thought Obama was becoming a dictator. After so many executive orders by Obama after the senate refused to even vote on every bill Obama and the House introduced. EOs was the only way to do anything and McConnell was proud to be known as the "grim reaper" of Democrat bills.
  5. Chronology: Trump runs for president not because he wants to be president, but as a publicity stunt, as Michael Cohen recalls "only to market himself." Trump strikes a cord with 1/3 of America that suffered under the tyranny of Obama for 8 long years Trump unintentionally wins the election and seemed unprepared for the job. He complained that being president was harder than he thought it would be and decided to take daily "executive time" for several hours every morning to watch TV and tweet Trump correctly intuits that Biden is his main opponent for 2020. In desperation to stay in office to avoid prosecutions, Trump attacks his nemesis, Biden Trump gets impeached for his "perfect" phone call with Ukraine's president, asking for an investigation of Biden Trump openly extorts the GA secretary of state to "find" just enough votes for him to win. "Fellas, fellas, all I need are 11,000 votes..." For weeks Trump asked his fans to show up in DC to a "wild" rally on the 6th of January. In the rally Trump tells his mob to be strong, and fight, fight, fight, and to go to the Capitol, and he was COMING WITH THEM. Then he goes home to watch the action on TV with pleasure and amusement A mob chanted "Hang Mike Pence." A cop was killed with a fire extinguisher. Then a woman (from Qanon) charged thru the broken window and was shot in the chest. This was an internal window with 40 congressmen sheltering on the other side. She fell backwards so the attackers at the window could see one of their own was just killed, so they stopped. The cop shooting the woman may have saved the lives of many. Trump said about the mob, after the attack, that he "loved" them and they were "special." He was forced to record a video saying the attack was bad and the people should be prosecuted, (or he might get the 25th amendment) Trump gets impeached by the House a second time, so he will be remembered in history as the only president to be impeached twice The senate may or may not convict Trump because it takes a supermajority. Prof. Tribe said the vote in senate requires 2/3 of THOSE PRESENT for the vote. If 20 Republicans choose to stay home that day, it is possible to convict Trump with less than 17 GOP votes, after January 20th What major events did I leave out of this brief chronology?
  6. Every swing state, maybe all states, should BETTER educate their citizens on how their elections are handled and security used to keep them free from fraud. All Trump needs to do is find a convincing fiction and repeat it over and over, until it sinks into the minds of his followers. No American president has ever done that, so Americans are not prepared for that Hitler-level of lying. The cult already WANT to believe him, so it is not hard to fool them. That is how Trump's mind works. Since he was spoiled all his life in a bubble of approval, all he needs to do is WANT to believe anything, and he can delude himself into believing it so convincingly that his cult are also convinced.
  7. Does anyone think Trump can be charged with something related to his attack on the Capitol? He incited it. The penalties below do not take account for a murder taking place during the attack, a police officer was bashed to death with a fire extinguisher, and a woman was shot by a cop as she climbing menacingly thru a window inside the Capitol. "A person who commits the following acts faces up to six months’ imprisonment and a $5,000 fine: 1 enters or remains on the floor or in the gallery of the U.S. Senate or House chambers without authorization 2 obstructs or impedes passage through or within the Capitol building or grounds 3 damages or destroys property in Capitol buildings or on Capitol grounds, or assaults an individual in a Capitol building or on Capitol grounds. The penalties increase to a class E felony—punishable by up to five years in prison AND a $250,000 fine—for the following violations involving weapons, force, or violence: 1 carrying, having readily accessible, discharging, or transporting any firearm, dangerous weapon, or explosive on in Capitol buildings or on Capitol grounds, or 2 with force or violence, entering or remaining on the floor of either chamber." Federal Trespassing Laws | CriminalDefenseLawyer.com Trump was telling his supporters for several weeks to come to DC to overthrow election, and that "it's going to be wild!" Wednesday morning Trump tells his crowd, in a rally near the White House to march to the Capitol building and "be strong" and that he was coming with them. Giuliani tells the same crowd to have "trial by combat." Trump then went home to watch it all on TV, amused.
  8. When I read the title of this discussion "An Infinite and Eternal Universe" the first thing I wonder is if the universe is the same as the big bang? The universe may be infinite and eternal, but only if there was something before the big bang. Is the big bang the entire universe? Big bangs could be numerous, if not infinite in number, according to eternal inflation.
  9. It should be easy to get a simple majority in the House to impeach Trump, but it will take 17 GOP senators for a supermajority, to turn against Trump and convict him. Are there 17 GOP senators willing to do this?

  11. Good now the House and Senate can impeach and convict him for his new "perfect" phone call. They can impeach him in their leisure after Jan. 20th, so he can never run for office again. Either that, or take the 25th amendment. Pence, not Trump, called for the national guard. Pence spoiled Trump's Capitol block party. Maybe he can then also be charged with criminally negligent manslaughter. Trump caused wide-spread indifference to the Coronavirus which resulted in hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. What else can Trump be charged with? Oh yeah, he is also "individual #1" in that other crime.
  12. Trump spent one hour on the phone with GA sec of state, with lawyers, and Mark Meadows. This was after 18 attempts by Trump to talk with Raffensperger. Trump has a complete list of the lies that were thrown out of over 50 courts in front of him on the call. That is why it sounds like he "knows" something. First listen to the short 5-minute Youtube and if you have the stomach for it, you can listen to the full one hour of insanity. Audio: Trump berates Ga. secretary of state, urges him to ‘find’ votes - YouTube Now buckle up for one hour of insanity! Full Phone Call: Trump Pressures Georgia Secretary of State To Recount Election Votes | NBC News - YouTube The question is does Trump REALLY believe that there was massive voter fraud in GA? If he really believes it then he may not be guilty of fraud. Trump is in a bubble of approval like he was all his life. He was spoiled by this bubble of approval. When Trump hears fake news about voter fraud, Trump WANTS to believe it so he DOES BELIEVE IT. Those around him never puncture his bubble of delusion, they just dance around it so Trump remains deluded!!
  13. Are there information deserts? Do people living in sparsely-populated areas have fewer TV news channels? Are many people unable to afford cable or satellite TV? If people get all their political news from local TV, how much of it is in favor of Trump or the GOP? If more people had access to both blue and red points of view, maybe they would be better able to distinguish fact from fiction. Trumpism is a fictional narrative, and the cult-members are AWARE it is a fiction. They don't take him literally, they take him "seriously." I noticed in the graphic (below) with dots of density, that the RED dots are usually smaller than the BLUE dots, with the exception of Arizona with a big red dot, a few high-population counties, and in Texas and Florida, that voted overwhelmingly red. The constitution should get amended to redistribute senate seats. The 5 largest-population states should get 3 senators each, and the 5 smallest-population states should get only 1 senate seat, to compensate for the tyranny of the GOP minority. Or split California into two states and combine the Dakotas into one state. That way you end up with 50 states.
  14. Yes excellent graphic above, iNow. That tells the story. Tiny red dots determine the red states, and big blue dots dominate blue states.

  16. Does the map NOT tell you that the majority of people living in sparsely-populated counties almost ALWAYS vote Republican, and in population-dense areas the majority vote Democrat? Even blue states, except California, almost ALWAYS have Republican control of low population counties.

  18. Trump correctly intuited that by calling Hillary "Crooked Hillary" that would take his own "crookedness" off the table by projection. He is the "Great Projector." He projected his own "fakeness" onto the fake news media. His slogan "make America great again" rang clear for the simple-minded who reside everywhere, rural, urban, or suburban. He was clever and devious as the traveling salesmen jokes. Hillary Clinton was not a very clever con like Trump is. A VERY clever con can become the first real dictator for life in the USA. Could we answer the question, why are the sparsely-populated counties RED by how people get their news? Do people live in information deserts? I have cable TV and I prefer to get my news from MSNBC and then CNN. When they are having commercials, I look at Fox News and Fox Business News to spy on the other camp. When I compare the left camp with the right camp, the right seems more phony. Maybe folks living in the rural areas cannot compare their news source with the "blue view." They call CNN "fake news" because Trump told them that. But they don't witness the fakery he keeps talking about BECAUSE THEY DON'T WATCH CNN. My brother likes Trump. He doesn't have cable TV, so he gets his news from Rush Limbaugh on radio, and local TV news. Maybe his local news is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting Group which favors Trump. My brother, along with Trump voters, had 8 years listening to right-wing media constantly complaining about Obama, so my brother constantly complained about Obama. I did not understand his concern. Maybe many people living out in rural areas don't have cable TV and they get their news from media ONLY friendly to Trump?
  19. Take a look at this red/blue map of the 2020 US election. Click on any state and it gives you a breakdown of the red and blue counties of each state. Notice how the wide-open spaces are overwhelmingly red and population centers are overwhelmingly blue. If you click on a blue state you will see most of the counties are red. Population centers are blue. Why is this? Is it true that "blue" policies are generally more popular in the US than "red" policies? election map red blue - Bing The "traveling salesman jokes" are about a city-slicker, conman, salesman (Trump) who travels across the nation taking advantage of the local country bumpkins, especially farmers' daughters. The targets of the conman are people who are not very educated, not very sophisticated thinkers, and too trusting for their own good. These are people who are easy for a devious but clever con artist to enlist into their cause. These are people who can be suckered by a Jim Jones. The next populist may be even more devious and clever than Trump. When that happens the US will have enough people suckered by the clever con and the US becomes a dictatorship. There is an old joke about a traveling salesman and a farmer's daughter that has been referenced constantly for decades yet you don't know anyone who has actually heard it. How does it go? - Answers
  20. Final tally: Biden 81.0 million votes, Trump 74.1 million votes, so Biden wins by 6.9 million votes. popular vote 2020 election - Bing
  21. Distances are always positive. Negative distance doesn't make sense.
  22. It seems unlikely that aliens would want to eat meat from a different planet. Even people on Earth prefer what they are accustomed to eating.
  23. Today, on Nov 27, the vote count is still 98% counted and 2% not counted. Comparing the vote count at Nov 13 to Nov 23, a period of 10 days, Biden got 60% and Trump got 40% of the LATE counted votes. When you compare the next 4 days (Nov 23 - Nov 27), Biden got 66% and Trump got only 33%. So Trump's share of late votes is declining. Trump may not get more than 74 million votes, and Biden will end up with close to 83 million votes, which is a difference of 9 million votes. It took 2 weeks to count only one percent of the late votes and 2% remain to be counted. The 3rd most votes went to Jo Jorgensen who got about 1.9 million votes.
  24. Very good point John, thanks. That is a likelihood. So with that in mind, with 3.1 million votes uncounted, Biden's total tally could be at most 79.8 + 3.1 = 82.9, if all the uncounted are Biden votes. The range would be: Biden 81.4 to 82.9 (let's call it 81 to 83 million votes) Trump 73.8 to 75.3 (74 to 75 million votes)
  25. Based on data available today 11-23-2020 with 98% popular votes counted. Please check my math: 🙂 Biden 79.8 M Trump 73.8 M Total 153.6 M (million votes counted already) Total votes already counted as 98% (153.6/98 = 1.57) x 2 = 3.13 million votes yet to be counted. So Biden gets 51.95% (79.8/153.6) of the remaining 3.1 million votes to be counted (0.5195 x 3.1 = 1.61) and Trump gets 48.05% of the remaining 3.1 million votes (0.4805 x 3.1 = 1.49). So based on current proportions in the popular vote, Biden should have a final total of 79.8 + 1.61 = 81.4 and for Trump 73.8 + 1.5 = 75.3 Final vote tally estimate: Biden 81.4 million votes Trump 75.3 million votes Total 156.7 million votes Biden will beat Trump by 6.1 million votes. Does anyone get a different estimate? Let's see how far off I am when the count is done. 😃
