General Relativity is the gold standard in physics. the bits that were bolted on afterwards leave a little to be desired. Fluidic expansion? invisible undetectable particles? the cosmological constant? we can do better.

@USATODAY An absolute utter disgrace. Referees are selected on ability and Omar Artan is widely regarded as the best referee in Africa. A loss to the game, and a shameful decision by the USA.

@mfc_mrpage its because 90% of Premier league fans live outside England. this just shows the incredible popularity of the premier league

@PolitlcsGlobal @TheAthleticFC 10 shots fired, Gareth Southgate took the other one.

@FIFAWorldCup I am deeply disappointed by the US decision to prevent Africa's best referee Omar Artan from entering the USA. we expect World cup referees to be selected on merit, not removed because of internal nation politics.

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

Give the USA a red card. Jolly poor show by America.

🚨 Named by FIFA to officiate during the World Cup, the Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry to U.S. territory. 🇸🇴

Due to his difficulties in obtaining a visa, he had benefited from the support of the Somali embassy in Nairobi, which enabled him to obtain a diplomatic passport. 🛂

It was insufficient for the American authorities, who immediately sent him back. ❌

@martinmbauer I think this is important. As an amateur, I know my work will face immediate scrutiny, and rightly so. That drives me to check the reasoning, and avoid claiming more than the evidence supports. Hard questions are not hostility but rather part of the process.

@curiouswavefn I studied under grad physics 38 years ago, 2 years ago, I began learning again, using AI, without that (old) basic knowledge it would have been incredibly difficult, but being able to question repeatedly is certainly a benefit.

@DerekPederson3 not only do I agree, but to that I would add that interstellar space travel is likely not economically viable, Sci-fi defeated by accountants is even more depressing than stifled by physics.

So, erm, my mathematics is weirdly showing that critical acceleration might be a scalar field, I clearly need more coffee.

@JoshNorris To be fair, being denied a scoring opportunity inside the penalty box would have been really tricky as everyone knows we score screamers from outside.

@Protenpinner The bench might be a bit high too. 😂

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

@SkySportsPL Emery gives the gift, but Guardiola passes the torch.

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

We're only losing 1-0, We're only losing 1-0, it our reserves and We're only losing 1-0. 😂#utv #avfc

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

Thank goodness the referee used VAR and not a breathalyser on Mings. 😂

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

0-0 after 10 minutes is a result. Loving the vibe from all Villa fans today. #UTV #AVFC and Bizot!!!

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

@johntownley11 Honestly @johntownley11 I was surprised not to see you and the boys from claret and blue podcast on the bench today!

[CheltPaul🇬🇧🇺🇦🦁🔶 @Paulwheeldon9]

@StanCollymore thought you might be on the bench today @StanCollymore !
