"Up, up, and away" Jodi and I are off to Milwaukee, via Chicago, for the weekend. For two hours this week, I had some peace. Flights have some practical uses; one is to firewall you from the nonsense so rampant in this world. https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/02/14/up-up-and-away/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

The viral broomstick challenge is a dumb hoax (@washingtonpost) and 1 semester of introductory physics would be more than enough to see why. A simple lesson in mass, distribution of mass, and the local constancy of gravity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/02/11/viral-broomstick-challenge-works-every-single-day/ -

"Dead On Arrival" Summary of proposed vs. enacted spending on science agencies in FY2020. From Reference 1. For almost four years, the executive branch of the United States government has been advocating steadily for a decline of science funding for the nation. In spite of this, the U.S. Congress has acted as a firewall against these requests, effectively making â*¦ Con… -
