Comment Re:Electric Universe (Score 2) 225

I believe that there is some wiggle room, looking at the electric universe theory.

Actually, Electro-Temporal Unification Theory shows that "electric universe" and "timecube cosmology" make the same predictions at the critical energy density point in 8-space, and is in good accord with all available evidence.

Unfortunately the paper was publised by a certain Jack N. Withya, so most cosmologists haven't bothered to read it.

This has been going on for a long time. It's due to drainage of basically the Great Plains out into the Gulf. Lots of fixed nitrogen from fertilizers in that these days. That nitrogen stimulates a variety of organisms that also use oxygen. Which there really isn't all that much of in water.

The only way you are going to stop it is to find a different method of raising food for the world. Hint: current organic methods doesn't do it - too labor intensive and yields suffer.

Or you could have less people.

Don't worry, in ~20 years the aquifer will run dry and the entire Great Plains will become the new Dust Bowl. Problem solved.

(Except for finding something to eat. Maybe there will be enough shrimp for breakfast).

Einstein had trouble with basic math as a child. His teachers thought he was an idiot. You have to wonder how many "smartest" never happened because they got beat up on the schoolyard and gave up on their dreams.

I thought getting beat up on the schoolyard is what makes them pursue their dreams.

What's 'national security'? I mean, is there a rigorous definition of it?

When you listen to public officials talk, they never talk about defending our lives or our freedoms, but always about defending our "national interests".

And of course, that means whatever policymakers and their pwners want it to mean. If they think bombing some peasants halfway around the world will help keep toilet paper affordable, it's a national security issue.
