Trump publicly denounces climate change as a scam by the Chinese. However when climate change threatens one of his precious golf courses, he invokes protection from climate change as the reason to build a protective sea wall. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-cou...

Here is a convenient guide to some of Trump's little issues with the courts, society in general, and the Election. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/donald-trump-scandals/474726/ My favourite is the bit after Corey Lewandowski (Trump's campaign manager) assaulted Breitbart reporter...

This is a sad day for rugby. I was going to try to make an effort to hate Pests a little less, after all Pitzagate was years ago. Now the spivs are trying to take over the game. It is time to form an action committee to fight for the soul of rugby. I am sure I had some polonium lying around the lab ...

One can argue about just how big the gap is, but there can't really be much sensible argument that the two best number 8s in the premiership right now are Waldrom based on tries scored, and Hughes based on almost any other stat you care to measure. The guy's a legitimate freak and prodigy. Easter m...

The kind politics of the left is here to see though.

Well she did send the SAS to train Pol Pot's murderers. So she did at least give active assistance to mass murder.

Another turnover for Itoje, he does look the part. I'm starting to understand their excitement. It might not be total desperation.

So does this confirm the existence of gravitons? No, but it does confirm that if they exist they are massless as the gravity waves propagate at the speed of light (as expected). Did we confirm frame-dragging a few years ago? I think there are hints, but I don't recall anything confirming it conclus...

Easter the lesser verses Waldrom, we could be on a looser there.

Can anyone recommend a 'Beginners book of Physics' or 'Physics for Morons' or similar? I'm very interested in this stuff but preferred to finger girls when I was a teenager than pay attention in school. :( You might try Greene 'The Elegant Universe'.

Can any of the physics geeks explain to me the implications of this? 1) It provides further experimental verification of Einstein's theory of general relativity 2) It provides a new way to do astronomy. For this latter point, about 25% of the universe is made up of stuff that doesn't interact with ...
