I think I will write a book about the current US administration - not just Trump, but his entire cabinet, the executive branch offices he controls and has populated with his lackeys and lickspittles, everything. And especially his bridge-troll Stephen Miller.

Why? Because they are just so damned incompetent at being evil, fascist goons. They're getting some fascism and evil done, but in comparison to the sheer amount of effort they're putting into it, the efficiency is terrible. They *think* they're geniuses and are performing magic, but they're actually bumbling along like a clown with one giant shoe trapped in a mop bucket and the other one stepping on a rake in the long grass.

Yes, this is a good thing.

I'm going to title it "47: The Smartest Guys in the Broom Closet".

Traversable Achronal Retrograde Domains In Spacetime

There are many spacetime geometries in general relativity which contain closed timelike curves. A layperson might say that retrograde time travel is possible in such spacetimes. To date no one has discovered a spacetime geometry which emulates what a layperson would describe as a time machine. The purpose of this paper is to propose such a space-time geometry. In our geometry, a bubble of curvature travels along a closed trajectory. The inside of the bubble is Rindler spacetime, and the exterior is Minkowski spacetime. Accelerating observers inside of the bubble travel along closed timelike curves. The walls of the bubble are generated with matter which violates the classical energy conditions. We refer to such a bubble as a Traversable Achronal Retrograde Domain In Spacetime.

Comcast Is Already Hated—and It's About to Become a Lot More Powerful

With Comcast buying up broadcasters to cement its domination of the emerging streaming video market, it's about to get a lot worse.
