@astroFunkhouser Legitimately the first data point in my experiment. Coming together over 2+2=4, vs. owning the libs? Not even close, says the world. Here’s me clinging to N^(-1/2)

College admissions is broken. It can be fixed. Liberals should own this cause, not cede it to the imbeciles who believe Trump lowered drug prices “by 1600%” https://t.co/PwpYD8om3Y

@astroFunkhouser nice if 2+2=4 became the foundation for a new societal consensus

[Raphael Bousso @RBousso]

@astroFunkhouser Not sure how you infer that this is a complete classification. That would be depressing. (1) I do think it's imbecilic to believe that drug prices were lowered by 1600%. (2) I'm frustrated that many "progressives" are aligning themselves with math illiteracy. (3) Wouldn't it be

When will UC act? Our current course is institutional suicide

Unbelievable.

This place is the best because we attract the best. There is NO other reason. And the best are simply not going to put up with this kind of bullshit.

In a universe with many matter fields, the geometry does not fluctuate. Then we know what we mean by the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics, and we know what we mean by a Bounce (or cyclic) Cosmology. My recent theorem says you can't have both.

In general relativity, “singularities” are mathematical anomalies where Einstein’s equations break down. For decades, the hope has been that quantum physics would correct these aberrations. What happens if that’s not the case? @walkingthedot reports: https://t.co/1dtLupkA7k
