I don't agree. Imagine a "Blue Dr Shiva" who tries to prove that the Trumpers rigged the election. He'd just do everything in blue that the real Dr Shiva did in red. He'd compute the votes Biden would expect from the individual ballots, and then find that there are less of those than there ought...

I would refuse to be put in that straw man position. Every journalist makes mistakes sometimes; that's why I look for several reliable sources and try to get as close to first-hand information as I can when matters are important. Because Snopes does the same thing, they're trustworthy, even if...

The recently fired director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA): Source: https://twitter.com/C_C_Krebs/status/1329521812951142400

There's an article out by a North Dakota contact tracer on how the situation is right now, how she works, how the state is doing. It's worth reading in full, but this struck me especially: For the past two weeks, North Dakota has had the most new cases per capita in the country. Our...

Trump also called two Republican canvass board members from Wayne County [on] Tuesday to offer his support, the person said, after they went back and forth on voting to certify the election results from the state's largest county, which includes Detroit. The board members filed affidavits...

Now the firing of Christopher Krebs, the director of CISA, makes sense! The irony is that Mitch McConnell blocked legislation to make electronic voting safer; one of the attorneys in Trump legal team today acknowledged that senators Klubuchar and Warren had pushed for that legislation as recent...

In the press conference, after 27:45, Giuliani mentions Jessy Jacob. But that evidence was dismissed in court days ago, here's an article dated Nov 13th: Kenny rejected Jacob’s assertion of a “sinister motive” on the part of election officials, pointing specifically to her claims that...

I was tuned into Giuliani's latest press conference on Youtube just now via the Donald J Trump channel. At one point, the operators must have misclicked something, as they could be heard remarking on Giuliani's makeup running; there were also some picture and sound dropouts, and the people in...

Maybe a candle is a good analogy. You don't want to stick your finger in it, but with a little distance, it's not dangerous, and with more distance, it's not even bright any more. Light is the same type of radiation as high-frequency WiFi/5G, so that's actually a fairly good analogy, except that...

These are the ICNRP guideline values, from my post above: The "E-field strength" column provides values in V/m (V m-1 is just another way to write that), and as you can see, 28 V/m is the lowest value. The Acousticom 2 scale is measuring V/m, but actually harmful amounts of radiation would be...

Sweden is imposing stronger restrictions than in the spring. Swedes are not sticking to coronavirus recommendations as well as in the spring and public gatherings will now be limited to eight people, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said, down from a previous upper limit of 300. "This is the new...

Generally, R2 being small means your model doesn't fit the data. The assumption that this proportion should be constant is wrong. Has Dr Shiva finally made a case why this assumption should be true? A good election to compare this with is the 1992 presidential election, when Democrat Bill...

Yes. The thing is, Germany had an effective reproduction rate R>1 all through October, and we have R approximately =1 right now, and we consistently need R<1 to get the numbers down, even if we don't have a measuring error because the test criteria changed. We managed that well back in...

Nature reports that the original scientists have repeated their analysis and found an error: The reanalysis, based on radio-telescope observations at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, concludes that average phosphine levels across Venus are about one part per...

From the article that Akton linked: A county board that fails to canvass within 14 days after the election must give all of its documentation to the Secretary of State's office and Board of State Canvassers, which then has 10 days to complete the work, canvass and certify the results, according...

Anti-masker protests in Berlin, Germany today: Source: https://twitter.com/felixhuesmann/status/1329029621204054016 Germany is currently "rounding the curve" on the second wave of Covid-19, with daily case numbers four times that of April and tightened restrictions (tighter than in the summer...

I don't know if these messages are authentic or fake; but the problem is that there's a fight going on by creationists and the like who see science and faith as opposites. We're seeing this in some conspiracy theory communities; many Flat Earthers feel that the concept of the globe contradicts...

Well, how would you counter that claim? Or do you agree with it? Then how would you prove it?

Proponents claim kombucha tea helps prevent and manage serious health conditions, from blood pressure to cancer. These claims are not backed by science. Limited evidence suggests kombucha tea may offer benefits similar to probiotic supplements, including promoting a healthy immune system and...

This picture of the offshore windpark Thorntonbank from the Belgian coast perfectly shows the earth curvature.
