Physicists in 1900 basically accepted
the Newtonian model of the universe. The only troubling anomaly was that Mercury, as it came into view in its journey around the sun, appeared to be in the "wrong" place. How was this possible? After much discussion brilliant scientists concluded that it "appeared" to be closer to the sun because the sun's gravity was bending light rays reflecting off of Mercury on their way to earth. This defied all the "settled science" embraced by classical physicists. It was to them heresy essentially, because by implication it would mean that energy and matter were interchangeable. Indeed a young physicist named Albert Einstein created the most famous equation in history, formulating that exact relationship: e=mc(squared). The longwinded point I'm trying to make is that throughout history the most minor anomalies are often windows into a completely different understanding of the world.
Which brings me to my point.
This event where armed officers took a pet squirrel from an individual in New York opens a Pandora's box of the horrors of leftist tyranny. The facts of the incident are disturbing enough: an anonymous instigator over 1000 miles away reported a humble man who had rescued a wounded squirrel and made a pet of him for years. The informer's motives in doing so can only be guessed, but the owner of the pet had made the horrific mistake in today's America of supporting conservative thought. A cadre of armed officials got a search warrant, rummaged through the man's property for five hours, illegally questioned his wife about her immigrant status, ultimately seizing the pet and killing it without giving the owner any recourse to save its life.
Now let's take a look at the universe in which this macabre horrid little leftist "comedy" took place. In a nation overrun by tens of millions of illegal aliens, crushed by rampant crime and gang warfare, enduring a $35 trillion deficit, soulcrushinginflation, aculture of infanticide and child mutilation, sexual dysphoria, and insanity, and waging illegal lawfare against candidates of another party, New York State spent a full day killing a squirrel, that had been a harmless pet cherished by its owner for literally years.
The event in and of itself was just an act of petty cruelty. As a window into a larger universe, however, it is a fissure in the mantle of our world, signaling a cataclysmic eruption that may well end this nation. The tsunami of rage coming from ordinary and loving individuals was quite frankly astonishing.
Has America in the hands of the lunatic left become a powder keg about to explode? Will the power-hungry Democrats and their media minions spew enough hatred that even the most gentile among us will finally say ENOUGH? Does 87,000 newly minted and armed IRS agents offer you
comfort or fill you with terror?
“When armed brownshirts ransack your house for five hours, and terrorize your wife with the subtle implication of deportation, they aren’t looking for a frigging squirrel.
They are telling you who’s in charge of every breath you take for the rest of your life.”
There is a famous saying about if the only tool you have is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail. It sounds silly but physicists have only mathematics! I think it was Planck who queried the relationship between maths and physics but even the ancient Greeks recognised the differences.
One issue with maths is that it likes things to be linear or "well-defined" in some way. For instance, you can design your perfect amplifier that converts 1mV into 1V and 2mV into 2V but if you give it a 100,000,000V lightning strike you do not get 1,000,000,000V at the output. You get a pile of burnt and melted materials. The equations will not tell you that. That kind of "non-linearity" applies to everything that is real.
I heard Poincaré published E = mc² before Einstein did.
Peer Review: Most of the great science was done prior to the days of peer review so is it actually useful? One journal did ask Einstein to subject one of his papers to a review but Einstein refused and published elsewhere! Peer review is a great way to control "the message". Ask the climate fraternity.
As pointed out in the video, demonstrating how gravity works by using gravity is not an entirely convincing ploy.
Celebrity is certainly an issue. Some people appeal to the masses and some go out of their way to do so. Others are happy to just do the science without all the public relations. For instance, three scientists won a Nobel Prize for quantum physics which included Richard Feynman but who were the other two?
Scientists have similarities to inventors. Progress is made slowly with each step contributing to subsequent steps. However, only the famous ones get remembered no matter how small their contribution was.
My theory of quantum entanglement: If I get a postage stamp, I can cut it in half and put the left half in one envelope and the right half in another envelope. Those parts are now"entangled." I can send the envelopes miles away but when I open one I will know instantly, much faster than the speed of light, what is in the other envelope. Spooky action at a distance! One day, someone will be able to explain the fault in my logic but it has not happened yet.

Are you sick of this yet?
Also from Woods:
“When armed brownshirts ransack your house for five hours, and terrorize your wife with the subtle implication of deportation, they aren’t looking for a frigging squirrel.
They are telling you who’s in charge of every breath you take for the rest of your life.”
"The tsunami of rage coming from ordinary and loving individuals was quite frankly astonishing."
They ain't seen nothin yet.
Yes 👏👏👏 Fight, fight, fight 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The most gentile among us, huh?
I’m picking up what you’re throwin down.
I'm sick of people spouting BS ginned up Einstein's handlers.

And Newton was wrong about a lot of things. Just as the half-a22ed "standard models" of physics and cosmology are.

Some disconnected but related thoughts of my own:

We're all still wondering what's in the envelopes.
Very interesting I’d like to try out your little experiment
