The British had a long tradition of striking tokens for political purposes. There were political tokens against the American Revolution. Some pictured Thomas Paine being hanged for writing his Common Sense. There was Climate Change back then as well and it resulted in massive riots over shortages of food.

James McGinn is correct that Linus Pauling (pictured) overlooked a critical fact about the water molecule.  But does James really know what Pauling and I and most everyone overlooked?  For he has not replied to the question of the following comment.

Scientists have found evidence of a huge blast of radiation from the Sun that hit Earth more than 2,000 years ago.

The result has important implications for the present, because solar storms can disrupt modern technology.

In a time of confusion and loss of faith in corrupt scientific authorities (and other bodies) the antidote is to look within ourselves and work on re-establishing our core values:

I received a question about Illuminism, Meritocracy and Propertarianism, and I have been planning to write about this anyway:

Don’t you think the Meritocracy advocated in the books is quite different from the Propertarianism you are currently fashioning? Have you changed your mind?

Global action is required to tackle the web’s “downward plunge to a dysfunctional future”, its inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee has told the BBC.

He made the comments in an exclusive interview to mark 30 years since he submitted his proposal for the web.

The NASA-funded research aimed to explore the theoretical foundations of life on other worlds by developing alternative ways to store and transmit genetic information.

To begin with, the title is not a typo. Furthermore, any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead is purely coincidental.

As you may have read, there is a new type of virulence afflicting the world, particularly in Europe, i.e. the “Gretafication Syndrome.”

Says Greenpeace co-founder and former president of Greenpeace Canada Patrick Moore:

“Fear has been used all through history to gain control of people’s minds and wallets and all else, and the climate catastrophe is strictly a fear campaign — well, fear and guilt — you’re afraid you’re killing your children because you’re driving them in your SUV and emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and you feel guilty for doing that. There’s no stronger motivation than those two.

If you are an American college professor, the way you get a raise or tenure is by getting papers published in “academic journals.”

The stupidity of these journals says a lot about what’s taught at colleges today.

Recently, three people sent in intentionally ridiculous “research” to prominent journals of women studies, gender studies, race studies, sexuality studies, obesity studies and queer studies.

Dark matter is the mysterious material that holds the Universe together, yet no one has seen it; or heard, smelled, tasted or touched it either.

But that may soon change, and a laboratory 1000 metres below the ground in the Stawell gold mine halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide could be the epicentre of this discovery.

What if the theories of Catastrophic Climate change are correct.  What if the economically punitive Green Plans have been implemented?  What if the Co2 emissions are natural, not anthropogenic?

Trigonopterus yoda: A shiny green beetle named after the Stars Wars character

More than a hundred insect species that are new to science have been discovered on an Indonesian island.

Found in remote rainforests, the tiny beetles appear to have been overlooked for decades. All 103 belong to the same group – weevils.
