    No need for that.

    Like any aspect of online content, viewers should already be insulated against stupidity.

    You and I, almost instinctively, filter out the bullshit and we have done that since the day we embraced the Internet.

    Facebook and other social media, as well as news sites, have a lot to offer.

    The answer is not to abandon ... the answer is to tolerate and ignore.

  3. I enjoyed the book and it is in my collection, but it was too brief and did not reveal anything new.

  4. In the fabric of space, quantum fluctuations create matter from energy in the form of matter/antimatter pairs.

    These rejoin and their masses are converted back to equivalent energy.

    When this happens at the event horizon of a black hole, on rare occasions, one half of the pair has enough velocity outside the event horizon to escape.

    So, black holes leak matter.

    After trillions upon trillions of years, the black hole explodes, but it hasn't happened yet.

    When it does, the universe will have long been expanded to a point that it won't really matter. (see what I did there)

    ... and it's not other social media.

    It's people who take that sit seriously.

    You'd think that, by now, people would know that social media is a game room.

    It was intended for entertainment purposes only.

    It's not Facebook.

    It's us.

  13. Agree.

    Musk and Hawking are the worst. It's almost like they come out with this crap when they feel ignored by the public.

    ... are shaped that way because in-falling matter crossing the event horizon of a black hole causes radiation of massive proportions.

    Because those particular black holes have accretion disks, out-gassing has no where to go but out the unobstructed poles.

    That action causes vortexes of streaming particles and ions that travel at close to the speed of light.

    Electricity is one feature (and a small factor) of the "confusion."

    Five years after the passage of the tariff, American trading partners had raised their own tariffs by a significant degree. France raised its tariffs on automobiles from 45% to 100%, Spain raised tariffs on American goods by 40%, and Germany and Italy raised tariffs on wheat. This customs war is often cited as one of the main causes of the Great Depression.
