The Supreme Court has just okayed laws that force women impregnated by rape to tell their rapist before being able to get an abortion *and* give him more of a say if he's over 18 and she isn't. Also outlawing medical [non-surgical] abortions. Sigh.

The motion of sperm mirrors the sprial progression of DNA.
The same motion of the solar system in its orbit around the galaxy.
Its the same mathematic and geometric path a pendulum takes through time. The human egg also sprials in its free fall journey through the Fallopian tube.

Ain't life cool. At least its the way I see it.

My random thoughts are not news either but why be critical?
Watch a baseball game and you may see statisics being made or an unlikely tremendous play so while we see the same game we each bring something different to the experience. Parts of the 'unlikely' IS enjoyment of the game. SO this is why baseball entertains us. It is a demonstration of the wierdness of quantum mechanics. It is true anyone who says they understand quantum mechanics - doesn't.

Sometimes it may even be a boring game, which is wierd in itself.
I've wondered about the split screen experiment since I was 13
Probabilities have shown us that we can get entangled with a destructive moron becoming President. We can complain when reality isn't rational BUT ITS NOT. Perhaps we should make a new kind of computer that uses spooky action at a distance and employ only entangled atoms - instead of electrons and calculate an accidental utopia just for grins and giggles.
But a game of all home runs would not appeal to us for long.
Wierdness is a strength And Not A Weakness.
It is our raison d'etre.

I listened to the show about sperm this morning on NPRs Science Friday. But somehow I cannot imagine that is news. I'm pretty sure I've seen some HD documentaries which show sperm doing the corkscrew motion. Plus, from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek who first saw (his own) magnified sperm in motion, people weren't stupid and so must have appreciated that they were observing what they could see only in 2 dimensions. So, interesting story, but I think it's being hyped.

China is not out of the woods yet. 6 Quakes, 3 dams at risk, serious flooding, and grain quality scandals. All that without Hong Kong.

The 3 Gorges Dam is not entirely out of risk, it can't hold any more water so floods downstream are serious.

This is the ideal time to get infected when your guard is down.
The virus is still content to infect at a 50% contagion rate.
We need to have a discontented virus.

Welcome to the second half of stage one. On a NIH conference call Dr. Fauci was asked why Trump acts as if he is immune. He said he told the president that in a time with no cure, anything is better than nothing except those things that are worse to your health. The prsident asked if their was vaccine he could have now and Fauci told him he could have a Faucine today. What's a Faucine? Thats where I spit on my hand and shake yours.

This today from cnn: looking bad for Trump in electoral college!

It is hope, but what people say to pollsters, and how they vote does not always tally. Given Twitler's record, people would be ashamed to admit to liking him. But they also vote for a party, so you have to ask the right question. And even then, polls and votes are different.

The UK had an expression "Shy Tories". And it proved decisive.

Be afraid America, be very afraid.
