The Epstein files on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for “Trump ” (with a space) to see his name appear more than 600 times. #OpDeathEaters

There might be various ways we haven't yet thought of by which a relatively simple, hobbyist-level technology could cause enormous damage to life on Earth. Hard to imagine effectively "banning" all of them. Not an unreasonable explanation for the Fermi paradox.
“Although we were initially skeptical that mirror bacteria could pose major risks, we have become deeply concerned. We were uncertain about the feasibility of synthesizing mirror bacteria but have concluded that technological progress will likely make this possible”

This is a Moonbow...
A rainbow forms as a result of the refraction of sunlight as it passes through water droplets; refraction causes sunlight to be split into the spectrum.
For a Moonbow, the only difference is the light source is no longer the Sun, but the Moon.

"Nothing" doesn't exist. Instead, there is "quantum foam"
Quantum physics shows that there is no such thing as "nothing." Even in a vacuum, particles can blink into and out of existence.

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

Hint: Both of these things are equally appropriate for children. Neither is "indoctrination". There is nothing "wrong" with either of these things, and if you feel upset at the thought of a kid watching the bottom one, but not the top, maybe sit and examine your own internal biases and prejudices.

I made a video about what version of the multiverse (quantum mechanics’ many worlds, or eternal inflation’s bubble universes) holds in the sci-fi show Rick & Morty. It’s fun, chock full of accessible physics, and (if I do say so myself) my best edited video🤓enjoy! #astronomy

in the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics ppl get stuck on a world "splitting off" as if it's something a world does.
but in MWI what's being purported as real is the wave function. the wave function splits worlds. it's almost just as nonsensical.
