Comment Re:like the strong nuclear force ? (Score 1) 198

The problem with changing general relativity is that, while it's possible to account for some of the effects of dark matter, gravitational lensing and the like are relatively small-scale anomalies that occur in some places and not others. Something is causing uneven curvature of space.

Comment Re:All of our (big) problems have been solved (Score 1) 264

There's actually some truth in your sarcasm. Many of the old major and minor problems have been at least partly addressed, and so people looking to help out are finding things that might or might not help that haven't been considered problems before (at least not by the dominant group, and who cares about the others).

It's not taking anything away from other anti-racist efforts. It may do some good sometime. I'm not up on the psychology of linguistics, but consistently calling people something with negative connotations could well be harmful. We could probably accomplish much the same thing with not calling races based on arbitrary colors (I'm something of a brownish pink rather than white, for example), but that would be harder.

Comment Re:Biden isn't the president elect yet (Score 1) 212

I'm not a Biden worshipper (I voted for Warren in the primary), but I do understand how the US Presidential election works. Do you have an actual cite for any Congressional statement saying Biden is not the President-Elect? All Congressional actions go on an easily accessible and reasonably easy to use website, so if you're correct you would find it easy to show us that.

You are obviously against the voice of the American people, since Trump lost the popular vote by millions in both his runs.

The Electoral College does not meet in one place. As per the Constitution, the electors of each state cast their votes in the state they represent. You clearly do not understand the actual election process. See the Constitution, Article II, Section 1,first sentence of Paragraph 3.

Comment Re:Election not certified (Score 1) 212

In which states would these undetermined votes be? (I'm saying "states", plural, since switching one seriously contested state from Biden to Trump would not affect the outcome.) Georgia just certified the Biden win, maybe a few hours ago as I write this.

Without solid evidence of massive vote fraud in multiple states, there is no legal way for Trump to win.

Comment Re:Just Imagine (Score 1) 212

The 2000 election was unusual in that the result depended on one state (Florida) that had an extremely small margin for one candidate or the other, and it took time to certify the election It was complicated by the voting machines in use, which could lead to ambiguous results (hence the discussion of "pregnant chad", "hanging chad", etc.) We literally did not know who was the President-Elect for some time after the election.

In this case, the winner was evident in the week of the voting. Even assuming that one battleground state's vote was reversed, Biden would still win. Face it: Biden won. Anyone trying to reverse that without evidence that will stand up in court is an enemy of the United States.
