Intent on crushing us? It’s being incredibly gentle!
Find a small magnet. Stick it on the front of your fridge. Stand back and look.
See how it continuously fails to plummet to the floor? That tiny magnet is defying the gravitational pull of AN ENTIRE PLANET. Gravity is really, really weak.
We’ll never have a complete understanding of our existence since we lack the necessary conceptual framework. Our conceptual abilities face the conundrum of either a universe that suddenly appeared from nothing or a universe that has always existed. Neither results in a “complete and satisfactory understanding”, at least not for me.
They’ve finally been able to detect gravity waves caused by the collision of two very massive bodies. Two black holes or a black hole and a neutron star.

Janis and Arlo really need to take a beginning physics class!
Otherwise they are descending into MAGA non-realty!

Orbiting a star that’s intent on frying us. Orbiting in a galaxy that’s intent of swallowing us.

Yes. And that ball is populated with plants and animals and other things that want to kill each other.

And while scientists think they kmow it all and can control it all…God gets the last laugh.

Arlo has discretely avoided speaking of the expanding universe.

Regarding “relativity” everything is relative!

It’s time for Jimmie Johnson to stop getting the science wrong. Enough is enough.

This has been a very strange arc for Johnson to follow.

I am so glad we get a new story arc on Monday, I never did well in science in school and I have been confused by strip and all the comments all week.
