@AnitaAnandMP And you bail out Carney's friend from bankrupcy proceedings!

@MarkJCarney Big demand for 'clean aluminum' lol. States are building a smelter right now btw

@EvanLSolomon If its so important and vital, how come you got put in charge?

“Telesat has US$1.7-billion of debt maturing in December, with nearly US$450-million more coming due in 2027, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by a group of the company’s creditors in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.”

$1.7 billion+$450 million=

Anyone…

[Al Buck @AlMclean49112]

@MarkJCarney Is that 4 billion total down this shithole that Carney's buddy runs? I thought they just went bankrupt in first 2 billion? And if they do ever make a satelite (doubtful), then Elon launches it.

A Stanford physicist walked into a lecture hall in gym shorts, with no notes, and spent 70 minutes explaining what happens inside a black hole. He is the man who spent 20 years arguing with Stephen Hawking about this exact question, and who eventually won.

The man is Leonard Susskind, one of the founders of string theory.

And the way he does it is what makes the video worth it.

The argument that started it was simple enough to state at a dinner table. Hawking said that when something falls into a black hole, the information about it is destroyed forever. Susskind said the universe cannot forget. If it can, physics itself stops working.

That disagreement ran for two decades. Hawking eventually conceded.

The part that stays with you is what Susskind says happens to you at the edge. From your own point of view, you cross it and notice nothing unusual. From someone watching outside, you never cross at all. You slow, stretch, and burn at the boundary. Both descriptions are correct. Neither one is a trick.

He explains why with no equations and almost no props, from memory, in front of a room where somebody in the front row is eating a sandwich.

The comments spend more time on the shorts than the physics, which is its own kind of proof of confidence.

Nothing that falls in is gone. The universe keeps a copy of everything, including you.

70 minutes. It is in the video.

@sarobertson_ Posting Dean Blundell now? Lol

@AnitaAnandMP What about the 27 crooks you fired?

@DrJStrategy The 75 cent dollar is a part of it too. Were the 'educated mexicans'

@bruce_arthur Hotez is another bullshitter and crook.

Van Gogh solved a physics problem no scientist of his era could crack, while locked inside an asylum.

In 2004, researchers studying The Starry Night noticed something extraordinary. His swirling brushstrokes matched Kolmogorov's formula for fluid turbulence with striking precision. That formula describes how energy moves through the universe at every scale. Physicists had theorized it but couldn't prove it. Van Gogh painted it.

He was in the grip of severe psychosis. No equations, no instruments, no peer review. Just paint and an unquiet mind that somehow felt the invisible geometry the universe runs on.

Intuition, at its deepest, might be closer to truth than we give it credit for.

@MarcMillerVM Lol. You are a joke sir. A bad one

@davidfrum Not counting that car accidents, shottings, ODs, etc were counted as covid deaths as hosptitals got paid for counting that way.. But not one person died from the flu.

A Cambridge physicist walks onto the Royal Institution stage and tells the room that particles do not exist.

This is David Tong, professor of theoretical physics at Cambridge, specialising in quantum field theory.

The claim is not metaphor. According to the best theories physics has, the universe is made of continuous fluid-like fields filling all of space. What we call an electron is a ripple in one of them.

Every electron in existence is identical because they are all disturbances in the same underlying object. That fact has no explanation in a picture made of tiny balls.

Watch how he handles the switch from particles to fields. He never asks the audience to accept it, he shows what the particle picture cannot explain and lets the gap do the work.

A research engineer I know rewatched the middle section twice and said matter stopped feeling like objects.

Free on YouTube from the Royal Institution, subtitles on, separate Q&A linked.

You are not made of things. You are made of ripples.
