Please listen to Harrison Fordโs words. I get that there are Republicans out there who donโt wanna vote for a Democrat, but his words are powerful and it should at least make you pause if you are a republican.

Time: Yes, itโs a dimension, but no, itโs not like space
The three dimensions of space are easy to comprehend; the one dimension of time, less so.
These tricks, common among physicists, can help you understand why time is so unique.

May we ask God for the gift of peace for martyred Ukraine, for Palestine and Israel, for Sudan, Myanmar, and all lands wounded by war.

Non-citizens can't and don't vote in federal elections. This is not opinion. This is fact.

I donโt expect you to chip in every time I post, but with all donations being triple-matched, any amount you can give will go three times as far before our final end-of-quarter deadline of the election. Will you help us get out of this pickle by pitching in now?

Hidden variable alternative to quantum spookiness fails
Hate the Copenhagen interpretation?
Hoping there's a hidden, observer-independent reality to nature?
Scientists tried the best non-spooky alternative, and it's now ruled out.

Longest, strongest black hole jets of all-time discovered
How large can a black hole jet get?
With the new discovery of Porphyrion, the answer is at least 24 million light-years, and that was when the Universe was just half it's present size!

Why don't we feel the Universe's expansion accelerating?
#AskEthan
The Universe is expanding, the expansion is accelerating, and Newton taught us that F = ma.
So where's the force that causes the acceleration, and why can't we feel it?

M7.0 earthquake near the coast of Kamchatka, reverse faulting mechanism and location point to subduction thrust event. However, if initial depth of ~50 km is confirmed, the tsunami generating potential should be limited.

We can't take a "Blue Wave" for granted! Ignore the polls & campaign like we're 30 points behind. The stakes have never been higher. Tell everyone you know to tell everyone they know to go to Iwillvote.com to make sure they're registered. We are NOT going back!!!

Iโm a capitalist.
I have no problem with companies making reasonable profits.
But not on the backs of seniors and working families.
