Cheers.

What level of security clearance does a House rep have, do you know?

It's slow and boring to watch.

Yeah, true. Mouth zipped.

Isn't that largely innate and it's being given a relatively harmless outlet for expression. On a larger scale, we are seeing this being expressed in right-wing views coming to the fore and nationalism trumping globalism; people want to be in a team or tribe. Games were originally mini battles between combatants.

It amazes me how often someone wants to bring up racial differences as a topic.

"'In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded". - Terry Pratchett

The simplest answer is that there always was something.

OK. Cheers.

You are only limited to five posts on your first day here. You can post as you wish now.

Would one say it is axiomatic?

So, once Congress gets hold of the enquiry report, the real work begins. I don't think Mueller would want to be the person to personally point the finger anyway; he's just the messenger.

I forgot to to add that most of the virtual particles add up to 'nothing' most of the time but sometimes two collide/interact and make a quantum. They may annihilate eventually, I'm not sure. The foam is nothing in the sense that much of the time it has no effect on the quantum world and then only intermittently. I think that's what scientists in this subject mean by nothing. I think this is one of those cases where a word means something a bit different to what we are used to.

Any entity less than a quantum has no effect on anything; it may as well be nothing. A quantum is the minimum energy required to have an effect on stuff.

And SR/GR are classical theories.

I think spacetime is a feature of the leading new theories, so it isn't going away.

Is PC culture bad when it is trying to be inclusive for those groups that have been marginalised for centuries? Also, concerning Black Panther being crap, is that only because it's being measured with your white metrics i.e. it has messages in it that whites don''t identify with? I had a look again at Koti's post and decided to pick him on it above.

Strawman. Who said PC was an 'academic' thing? PC is a behaviour. I hope you realize you are totally throwing the OP off course. I think CharonY wanted this topic to be an exploration of the issues surrounding the the idea of reparation for blacks, not for us to take a side and start arguing.

Says you.

It does exist because some people feel they must act a certain way to be seen as conforming.

What resources does one need, apart from a brain and the knowledge of those that have been before on a particular maths problem?

This is my point: people have been free to denigrate some minority group for so long that it feels 'normal' to do so, and Bush at the time was complaining about preserving a style of speech that should not have been allowed in the first place.

I think it illustrates how difficult the problem is to put everyone on a level base. Do things only appear politically correct because things are not currently politically-correct? The politically-correct behaviour feels incongruous, or even absurd, with the current mindset and past history. What I''m saying is that the correct behaviour has to start somewhere and it will naturally feel odd in the beginning because one is not used to it.

My thought too.
