Kepler's forgotten ideas about symmetry help explain spiral galaxies without the need for dark matter The 17th-century astronomer Johannes Kepler was the first to muse about the structure of snowflakes. Why are they so symmetrical? How does one side know how long the opposite side has grown? Kepler...

If I were one of the people named as participating in Epstein's illegal sex escapades I would be worried for my life, not from people trying to exact some kind of vigilante revenge but from those trying to cover it up. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/statement-manhattan-us-attorney-death-defen...

Good points. Photographic/video evidence would indeed be damning, if it exists. In that case, one wonders if the SDNY Public Corruption Unit is above selective release and withhold depending on the individual compromised. If they have any integrity, a dubious proposition to be sure, they will use t...

A lot of wealthy and/or high profile people are breathing a sign of relief today. Not so sure. The case is being handled by SDNY Public Corruption Unit. Due to his death there will now be no way to contest the admissibility of any of the evidence that was seized at any of his properties, so *if* th...

Ratio is almost 100 right now. that's rare. If I had gold I'd be very tempted to swap it for silver at this point, and wait for the ratio to drop back to around 40 before swapping back.

Is anyone going to post any pictures of this naked empress?

Indeed. There were lots of ancient MAD mags at the recreation centre at the site where I studied/worked in the Midwest. Provided me with great insight into American culture and mores. And, when I finally came to understand the topics being satirized, great entertainment. CS, you nailed it. "An...
