This didn't have to happen...
@LyddleNybble@BskiMike22802 Good info. I live in Washington State, we should do the same. I'll write to my state representatives, I wonder what response I'll get
@RickelKendra “What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.” Newton
My thought is I understand aliens just a bit; about as well as my cat understands physics. It knows how to jump well but can't figure out the equations of motion.
@elonmusk Newton on what is real: “This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”

@Object_Zero_ Thanks, this is illuminating. On a per capita basis, China is well below the USA and EU peaks. China's solar and wind generation far exceeds the US and EU. I wonder what the CO2 emissions comparison will be in 5 years?
@ChristosA89@StuartHameroff Science thrives on skepticism, falsifiability & debate. Scientism is when 'trust the science' becomes 'shut up and believe'. Blocking constructive criticism is scientism.
@PhysInHistory Shannon's Masters Thesis: "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits" from 1940 is also remarkable. He applied Boolean logic to digital systems.

@arkwojcik@PhysInHistory Great point, Shannon preferred entropy: "The entropy is a statistical parameter which measures, in a certain sense, how much information is produced on the average for each letter of a text in the language..."
