Einstein did lots of cool stuff with his master brain.. But he didn’t designed the universe. So I guess anything is possible when it comes to universe.

He put us on a path, lots of stuff can tested, verified and confirmed. but there is so much more to discover. In the end, we might have got it all wrong

Einstein was brilliant!. Of course, he did not create the rules of the universe. He was just trying to figure them out! He helped shape, not only our understanding of the universe, but how to go about thinking about things. Just like Newton's theory breaks down in certain limits, so may Einstein's but that doesn't lessen his contribution. Any tweak or replacement of Einstein's theories must still recover most of his predictions which have been proven robust. Just like Einsteins theories must recover Newton's predictions in certain limits.

I would go with our Current understanding.

Nothing lessens his contribution. Even if earth is walled off by gigantic screens like an aquarium located in a middle class house, in suburban of a major alien city his observations was still top notch. science (fiction) is never a ——————————————- to the goal.

He was ahead of his time and his deeds will be rememberd as long as humans continues to look for answers. What major discoveries will be discovered during this centrury moving on to next as the current Baseline.

anywho...down to earth issues again...

Trump believes he can ruin Canada ...using nafta like a cudgel...
complaining about milk...really?
we have a dairy board in place that negates the need for subsidies or handouts...and prevents our farmers from flooding the market and driving themselves out of business..
which the americans have allowed themselves to do unchecked...
and now they want to flood canada with their overproduction?
ruin us??
really?
I doubt it...
he could hurt us by about the loss of 160 000 jobs...
but hardly ruin us...

Our scientists, environmentalists, politicians and military have been working on a prototype ...
a better negotiator that will get the job done...
we call it the Canadian Defense Alert Liaison Emergency Kit
or CanLek
for short.
Here is the prototype at our nations capital on display with a pair of our favorite cuddly house pets....



we almost have all the bugs worked out...
we have been trying to purge it of any kind of values...
but Canadian values keep creeping back into the programming..





(god I love the daleks..)

uh-oh
something's gone wrong...
the "values purge"
may have been successful...
the emergency broadcast signal on our 1 Canadian Television Station is now just broadcasting this image...

I see only one solution to this milk issue: Allow SUPER SIZE at McDonald’s in US again.

What’s DTs position when it comes to allow SuperSize?

Pro? Con?

Are you sure there is any milk in McDonald milkshake. Maybe some combination of wood fiber, polymeric materials, ice, and sugar. Although, the wood fiber might come from Canada...

hahahaha
well...
DT thinks that "selective fallen deadwood" will stop the forest fires (which he somehow has blamed Canada for..)...and will help the forest industry in the U.S.

Fact of the matter is...
"selective" anything in forests is exponentially expensive to get out of a forest without damaging the existing forest...

Other issue is...
the US has gotten an excellent trading partner in us...
and we complain very little..
example is the end of the 2nd world war...
there were a lot of men and equipment....sitting..
So america and canada struck a deal...
both ...the majority of equipment the USA's ..
would build roads, dams, etc...deep up into the remote areas of Canada to enable access to the then idea of NORAD defense outposts...
it was a good arrangement...
with it came an arrangement for water and lumber and hydro electricity and all kinds of other resources traded to the US at a ridiculously low cost ...
those deals struck with Canada were for a certain number of years..
those years are almost up..
and that means that the costs that were in pennies per gigawatt ...and pennies in tonnage for lumber ...etc....
are expiring...
already...for the past few decades ...our neighbor has been reneging on the hydro bills owed...
let alone the other bills...
Nafta being tossed out...
well that is fine...
the canadian government will be going to the world courts for arbitration on bills owing...
and there is polite talk of the fact that pharma corps in the US ...may have their canadian patent rights annulled....which will hurt badly their profit margins..
and there are other areas of interest...that will as DT puts it "ruin" about 36 of the states that do a great deal of trade with Canada...
that the cancellation of nafta will cripple...
the automotive tariff threat DT has voiced to Canada ..will hurt the US as much as Canada ...since the entirety of the auto sector is so deeply integrated across borders....
and lastly...
if anything could have been more incentive...
since the tariffs began...
considering lumber...
I have seen more freighters loaded from the bottoms of their holds to high up out of them with logs...heading for China...
and before the nafta nightmare we were considering scraping a pipeline to our west coast...
But since all this...
Now it is great incentive...
Why send our oil south ...for our best friend and neighbor NOT to pay his bill on it ...
and then send it back to us as a refined product and charge us top dollar... on top of it?
Naw....
we figure ...better to refine it here for ourselves or ship it to our coast ...
ship it to China...
they actually PAY for what they want...
they pay their bills...
So I must say...this tariff dalliance has smarted in some ways...
but it isn't the ruination of us..
It has encouraged many to shop canadian ...
and look at other partners for our goods...
It is a pity though that DT seems to think a trillion dollar a year in trade nafta deal is somehow terrible for the US.
He seems to be making global upheavals in the markets and economies of the world since his term started....

What you should do is to change rules/laws for how the whole farming area doing stuff and that would disqualify many of the US mega farms that are allowed to do plenty of strange stuff to be able to produce more.

That is more important than trade wars with taxes, plus you making the earth a better earth.

New intercontinental iphones launched any second now. Prepare for impact!

Dave, are you seriously proposing to change the rules to disadvantage large corporations?
Which politician do you expect to do that? DT?

New iPhone... meh, who cares?
