  • I know enough (thanks to everyone who kindly replied) to know that everyone in the world save for those directly involved in the court case can safely assume Trump wanted a loan when he a applied for a loan. Sure, it’s an important step for the lawyers, but it’s so obvious that it’s only newsworthy if they couldn’t establish it.

    The article is a waste of time.






  • Except the big bang is the start of both space and time, so nothing in the universe could be older than the universe because there’s no time to speak of (not to mention the space for it to exist).

    The moment after the big bang is called the Planck epoch. I just learned this from Wikipedia “In this stage, the characteristic scale length of the universe was the Planck length, 1.6×10−35 m, and consequently had a temperature of approximately 1032 degrees Celsius. Even the very concept of a particle breaks down in these conditions. A proper understanding of this period awaits the development of a theory of quantum gravity.”. I don’t really understand this, but it seems the early universe wasn’t conducive to particles. Even if it was, they wouldn’t be atoms. They’d just be quarks.

    All of our physics breaks down at the singularity before the big bang, so assuming quarks that are around today existed then is just that, an assumption.










  • I’ve been researching what’s going on, and I have a question for you guys (I might make a post asking this later, but not atm).

    If Israel wanted a Palestinian genocide, wouldn’t it have already happened? Israel has decisively won nearly every war they’ve been in, and their defense systems are far more expensive than the offensive systems used against them (at least in the case of the iron dome).

    I’m willing to believe stuff like Israel baited an attack from Hamas for an excuse for genocide, but why only now?
