...that the observed departure from GR is less than about 10-3. In terms of other alternate-gravity parameters, this effect has a multiplier of 4*b - g - 3 - (10/3)*xi - a1 + (2/3)*a2 - (2/3)*z1 - (1/3)*z2 Of these, in GR, xi = a1 = a2 = z1 = z2 = 0. Spin precession This has two types, which...

...hoo hoo hoo. Don't call it genocide." has joined "Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo. Don't call us racists." it seems. It was implied by your presumption that *every* Gazan is a legitimate target. Trying to shift the burden of proof. Empty assertion. Cry me a river about Hamas. What would you consider...

...to GR has a parameter, g (gamma), that is (space curvature) / (time curvature) that GR predicts to be 1. Deflection = (Newton-Soldner) * (1 + g) = (GR) * (1 + g) / 2 It was first measured in a solar eclipse in 1919, and it agreed wiith GR, though with big error bars, about 30%. Einstein...

...making one parameter drop out, leaving 3. He then recognized that he fixed all but the radial coordinate, so he fixed that one also, as 1/(2*pi)*circumference, so he got only 2. He could then solve the resulting GR equations in the empty-space case, giving his solution. A little over two...

...for coordinate differences, using what's called the "metric tensor" of coefficients that can be arbitrary functions. For n dimensions, it has (1/2)*n*(n+1) components, so for space-time, it has 10 components. The mathematics of deriving curvature from these coefficients is rather horribly...

Consider Clintoncare. It was a big fat mess that the Clinton Admin took a year to work on, but when it was released, the Clintonites whimpered and came close to apologizing for having introduced it. They let the insurance lobby run its "Harry and Louise" ads without running any "Gary and Denise"...

Steven Dutch: "So here goes with a list of some academic disciplines where the rhetoric suggests that some participants have crossed the line into pseudoscience. In every case it's the conservatives." His examples: Extreme Paleolinguistics, Communication with other Species, Quasicrystals...

When Scientists Drift into Pseudoscience by geologist Steve Dutch Then noting anti-drift geologists getting unhinged in the late 1960's and early 1970's, as continental drift became generally accepted. Like some anti-drifters claiming that drifters use flat maps rather than spherical geometry...

Let's see how Nikki Haley did in the most recent primaries. Maryland: 20% (83% counted), Nebraska 17.2%, West Virginia 9.4%. A sizable protest vote there also.

I've found a lot of maps and videos of continent positions over geological time, but I've had difficulty finding some visualization where one can look from any direction. I've written a "Globe Viewer" app, but it would need to be cleaned up before release, and I'd need some copy-permitted set of...

AOC seems very careful and responsible. Not just AOC. AOC herself has been busy. Ayanna Pressley D-MA 0.05, Ilhan Omar D-MN: 0.09, AOC D-NY: 0.10 Not just The Squad. Sara Jacobs D-CA 0.12 Great job.
