For the first time in history....
Scientific American has endorsed a presidential candidate.
That shows how important this election is.
Well, we KNOW it couldn't be a person, who not only doesn't have a clue about science, nor even math. They are far too smart for that.
But, who would Scientific American endorse as it's first candidate ever ?
Yep, Joe Biden.

Scientific American Endorses Joe Biden
We’ve never backed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now
Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in its 175-year history. This year we are compelled to do so. We do not do this lightly.
The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science. The most devastating example is his dishonest and inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cost more than 190,000 Americans their lives by the middle of September. He has also attacked environmental protections, medical care, and the researchers and public science agencies that help this country prepare for its greatest challenges. That is why we urge you to vote for Joe Biden, who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment. These and other proposals he has put forth can set the country back on course for a safer, more prosperous and more equitable future.
The pandemic would strain any nation and system, but Trump's rejection of evidence and public health measures have been catastrophic in the U.S. He was warned many times in January and February about the onrushing disease, yet he did not develop a national strategy to provide protective equipment, coronavirus testing or clear health guidelines. Testing people for the virus, and tracing those they may have infected, is how countries in Europe and Asia have gained control over their outbreaks, saved lives, and successfully reopened businesses and schools. But in the U.S., Trump claimed, falsely, that “anybody that wants a test can get a test.” That was untrue in March and remained untrue through the summer. Trump opposed $25 billion for increased testing and tracing that was in a pandemic relief bill as late as July. These lapses accelerated the spread of disease through the country—particularly in highly vulnerable communities that include people of color, where deaths climbed disproportionately to those in the rest of the population.
It wasn't just a testing problem: if almost everyone in the U.S. wore masks in public, it could save about 66,000 lives by the beginning of December, according to projections from the University of Washington School of Medicine. Such a strategy would hurt no one. It would close no business. It would cost next to nothing. But Trump and his vice president flouted local mask rules, making it a point not to wear masks themselves in public appearances. Trump has openly supported people who ignored governors in Michigan and California and elsewhere as they tried to impose social distancing and restrict public activities to control the virus. He encouraged governors in Florida, Arizona and Texas who resisted these public health measures, saying in April—again, falsely—that “the worst days of the pandemic are behind us” and ignoring infectious disease experts who warned at the time of a dangerous rebound if safety measures were loosened.
And of course, the rebound came, with cases across the nation rising by 46 percent and deaths increasing by 21 percent in June. The states that followed Trump's misguidance posted new daily highs and higher percentages of positive tests than those that did not. By early July several hospitals in Texas were full of COVID-19 patients. ...

Man man with a pig's heart...
Earlier this year doctors at the University of Maryland performed a transplant of a genetically modified pigs heart to a 57 year old man. It was a medical first. He lived for 2 months and suddenly died. 2 months later, they found a viral DNA in the pig heart that was causing an infection.
So now there is fear that animal-to-human transplants run a risk of introducing new kinds of infections to people.
Something to consider when signing documents to receive experimental transplants.

Yellow Alert! A signal has been Detected
Project SETI, after 60 years of listening, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) organization acknowledged that in April and May 2019 radio signals were received by the Parkes Observatory radio telescope run by CSIRO in South Wales, Australia. As usual when listening on many frequencies a vast variety of radio signals are received during any observational period. Normally several months of work are required to isolate and analyze each separate signal to determine it's origin. The current endeavor is called Project Breakthrough Listen which collects and analyses signals from many participating radio observatories around the planet. In the case of this particular signal (known as BLC-1) the analysis of the signal did not occur until October 2019.
The radio signal is a not modulated (non-informational) tone that was broadcast on a frequency of 982 Megahertz. The tone was broadcast for about a half hour. Data from other radio observatories and listening stations was then collected and the presence of the signal in their recordings also was confirmed.
Triangulation reveals the point of origin appears to be in the direction of Proximi Centauri, a nearby star 4.3 light years away Doppler radio analysis indicates the signal was blue shifting (i.e., moving). No known natural process can produce a unwavering radio signal of the nature received. .Because the same data was found on multiple radio listening points, some thousands of miles apart a local man made source near the Parkes Observatory was soon ruled out. Subsequent investigation has determined no satellite launched by Earth has ever been set up to transmit on a frequency of 892MhZ. Further, no known satellites launched from Earth are known to be in the position of the sky the signal was determined to be originating from.
Continued monitoring of the frequency has not resulted in any further signal being received.
Scientists are continuing to monitor that area of the sky and are also preparing papers speculating about what may have caused the signal and what it may mean.

Private Analysis: So while CNN, NBC, RT and FOX worry about President Trump, President Elect Biden, and Covid19 masks, over 4 years ago, someone or something pressed a car horn for a half hour. I say car horn because that is fairly similar to what was done. When a human leans on a car horn for awhile, we are usually doing so in an attempt to signal something to someone. Three questions fill my mind. Was the signal meant for us? If not, then what did the signal signify and to who (or what)? What kind of response to the signal is to be anticipated?
Tik-Tok whatever the response will be, depending on how far away that listening point manned by the sending species is, it is possible the response is already underway.

Astronomy and the dark side of the moon!
Astronomy appears to be a subject that puts CS bloggers to sleep.
Lots of times I planned to blog a story or two as there is so much happening in the world of science with the Orion capsule and James Webb space telescope. Amazing photos that are unaffected by the earth's atmosphere.
Now we may get to see the Dark Side of the Moon and not have to listen to it...

"Earthquakes (Not Man Made Greenhouse Gases) May Cause Arctic Warming"
In response to:
"An MIPT* Researcher Has Proposed A New Explanation For The Arctic's Rapid Warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that the warming could have been triggered by a series of great earthquakes."
NEWS RELEASE 23-DEC-2020
Conversely - Post-Glacial Rebound due to melting Greenland & Antarctic icecaps may cause Earthquakes - "An MIPT* Researcher Has Proposed A New Explanation For The Arctic's Rapid Warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that the warming could have been triggered by a series of great earthquakes."
NEWS RELEASE 23-DEC-2020
In response to:
"Post-glacial rebound (also called isostatic rebound or crustal rebound) is the rise of land masses after the removal of the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, which had caused isostatic depression. Post-glacial rebound and isostatic depression are phases of glacial isostasy (glacial isostatic adjustment, glacioisostasy), the deformation of the Earth's crust in response to changes in ice mass distribution.

Apothis is coming to visit
in 2029. On April's Friday the 13th. An okay day for some, but probably a really bad day for a few million people. April 13, 2029. This asteroid is no bigger than the Rose Bowl, but it will make the closest approach of any known asteroid to date.
Asteroids that already hit the Earth and caused extinctions are not being counted in that last sentence.]
Apothis will pas within 18,000 miles of Earth (below many satellites). Should the calculations prove to be a little off, or an impact with something else causes a variation of only 600 miles, then Earth's gravity will catch it and just 7 years later it will hit and devastate the planet.
The US's NASA is aware of this of course, as are several other space agencies, however no one has allocated any budget money to do anything about it. The US Congress is much more concerned with such critical things as nominating Donald Trump to be the next Speaker of the House, the infiltration of WOKE thinking into the education system, darker skinned people crossing the boarder and of course this week's super model. So don't look to under funded NASA to save the Earth. Bruce Willis is needed to fix a leak on an oil well.
China, Japan and India in theory have the potential to launch an intercepting missile and divert the asteroid, but they haven't even mentioned it yet. Russia of course already shot it's wad at the moon and has no money or facilities for such a mission.
The real question becomes what is the safest place on Earth to watch the catastrophe with your date from?

CLIMATE CHANGE
The last ice age ended approx 25 thousand years ago. How did it end? Well, according to scientific studies, the earth tilted slightly on its axis and as a consequence, the planet began to warm up.
It did not increase in temperature due to cave dwellers driving cars or lorries, or flying aircraft or factories blowing out smoke filled with carbon dioxide or the burning of coal and use of oil fired boilers or exploitation of oil fields.
The climate changed because of nature's interference, not the activities of humans. We cannot overcome how the sun operates or the position of the planet.

If you always wanted to be a Space Cadet...
Maybe when you were younger, you wanted to be a Space Cadet. Don't despair... You still have a chance as NASA is taking applications! While the odds are slim, you have to be a U.S. citizen and you must pass the astronaut physical exam.
There is no age limit or 20/20 vision requirement and don't worry that NASA set a high bar for education.
They are looking for applicants with a master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, followed by at least three years of related professional experience.
I'm sure (for a price) you can find someone on the dark web who can print your diploma and a tech company to vouch for your employment.
“The trip to Mars is six to nine months,” he said. “You’re going to be away from familiar for more than a year, one to three years. Are you really ready for that?”
