There are a lot of "must"s in your proposal. The first thing you need to do is to replace Indian democracy with a dictatorship which can impose all those musts. Pakistan and Bangladesh are effectively dictatorships, so that part of the job is already done. I am not sure I buy your premise...

China needs to start its own UFO rumor mill, so any claims by wandering eyes can be dismissed as UFOs.

Jews went from about 4^ to 10% from 1850 to Balfour Declaration. Under the Brits, they went from 10% to 30+%. Elementary mathematics. Readers can see he has dug a hole for himself as usual and is squirming around.

He still doesn't have a clue about the British-sanctioned mass migration of Jews into Palestine in the late 19th to early 20th century, before 1948. Just enjoy the display of ignorance.

The original Zionist preferences were in Ecuador and Uganda. They are still questionable, since it is doubtful anyone would have asked the Ecuadorians or Ugandans about their say in the matter. The important point is that the Zionists decided which land they wanted. Even now, if someone...

You're wasting your time one someone who has no clue about history.

I have no horse in this race, but the CNN article is horribly unprofessional. Aside from being blatantly biased, the words used "running scared", "huffed", "banging on" sound like something written by a high school student.

Oh, no, not the same old victimhood drivel again. Israelis have milked and abused the victimhood card to the max. If a group of racist Arabs or whites or anyone else colonized a foreign land and kicked out most of the locals to create a "Arab homeland" or a "white homeland", they would be...

I don't think the OP is saying that the universe has stopped expanding. It is saying the universe will start diffusing since the glue that holds things together, dark matter, is being replaced by anti-gravity (dark energy).

Dark energy doesn't make things shrink; it makes matter fly apart, i.e. anti-gravity. What they are saying is that everything will fly apart.

RIP. Good man! Hope his family is financially OK.

Would it not make more sense to mount solar panels (almost) vertically, so they don't get covered up by dirt, leaves, snow, etc? What's the logic in putting them on the ground rather than above ground?

Dark matter is what holds galaxies together so, if it is weakening over time, it would imply that galaxies from the past (i.e faraway galaxies) should be denser than nearby galaxies.

Were the Nazis any different from the European colonialists and the way they treated their non-white allies? Or each other? It's not even a racial thing. I am sure we can go back in history and see the same backstabbing by non-white empires. It's all about temporary alliances, marriages of...

I am not talking pop-sci; I am talking very real science. Show me one physicist who can tell me what is a field -- physically. You'll get a lot of hand waving, a lot of humming and hawing, and a lot of smoke and mirrors, but no actual answer. The same thing you get when you ask tricky...

I respect both @AUSTERLITZ and @Desert Fox Both of them are quality posters whose posts are worth reading. They happen to be on opposite sides of the debate and that's fine. Each side should be able to present their case without being shouted down with slogans and epithets.

Both the Brits and Nazis were racist supremacists who looked down upon Arabs. When faced with two groups of racists, whom do you support? Answer: the ones who are not killing you and giving your land to Jewish racist colonialists.

You miss the point entirely. The issue is not about supporting Hitler. It's about being able to discuss the subject without being shouted down as conspiracy theorists and anti-Semites. History is always a lot more complicated than the simplified, sanitized version most people believe. We...

Given the amount of revisionist history we see with respect to Israel, it calls into question all other claims. One should be allowed to present their case, as long as it is backed by evidence. The amount of intellectual fascism in Western media regarding Jewish sensibilities is beyond all...

Oh, I understand perfectly well the difference between detecting vague waves, and mapping patterns in the brain. What the current researchers are doing is no different, qualitatively, from mapping Broca's region or Wernicke's. They are just doing their pattern mapping at a finer grained level...
