40 quintillion stellar mass black holes in the universe!
That is hard to get your head around.

The problem is not whether intelligent life exists elsewhere, as with the enormous number of galaxies, stars, and planets would make the probability of intelligent life only existing on earth at this particular time, quite rare, however, there is a real physics problem. Distance, distance, distance. I can't imagine any intelligent civilization sending an "manned" ship to explore an uncertain target. As far as every experiment, or mathematical prediction goes, light speed is a barrier. There are 63 G type stars within 100 light years of earth. True, life could exist near other stars, but if we understand that we have been giving off radio waves for a little over 100 years, then if an intelligent civilization 50 light years away received the signals 50 years ago, and jumped in their space ships and headed directly to us, then they would just be reaching here. This is just not logical. There is still the problem of acceleration, living in space for many years, perhaps thousands, deceleration, and possibly spending enough fuel for orbit, and then a return trip. Especially for an unconfirmed target. It just doesn't make sense. Is there life, perhaps intelligent in multiple locations throughput the universe? The odds say yes, but distance says that there is virtually no probability that we have been visited.

I am definitely curious about this. I am certain it is just a natural formation, but it is quite interesting, and I'm glad the Chinese are going to investigate it.

Audit confirms that only the GOP conducts vote fraud.

From everything I read about, and I read from sources from all over the world, the GOP can't win by solid policy. They were silent when Trump lied and lied and lied, but pick apart everything Biden does. Then there is extreme gerrymandering, false claims of fraud, voter suppression laws, extreme hypocrisy, and disinformation. They just can't win on policy, so it has devolved into lying and cheating. I used to vote mostly Republican, but their policies don't solve the problems that we are facing, and they lie and cheat. It's true that Biden isn't perfect, but he is a far from being the liar and fraud that Trump has always been. I am looking for solutions to the problems that the exist now. Climate change, health care, education, immigration, prison reform, infrastructure, China, the middle east, Iran, and other problems. The world is not a simple thing. It is complex and diverse. I don't see that ignoring these problems will make them go away. It takes actual action, and for the rest of my life, I will vote for people who will actually fix these problems. I'm done ranting for the moment.

Conservatives consider liberals well-intentioned, but misguided. Liberals consider conservatives not only wrong, but really, really bad people.

Seriously? For at least 30 years, the slurs against anyone further left of a conservative have moved towards and now flat out call the left evil!

My wife has a friend that now says that anyone to the left is a mortal enemy, and will never be allowed on her property. She insists that main stream media has poisoned everyone, and only right wing media has the truth. This is affirmation, not information. I read between 5 to 7 hours a day from every source I can find. The truth is that right wing media doesn't tell the truth, but manufactured an artificial reality, that their followers believe as gospel. Some of the right wing newscasters are trying to inject reason, but their followers are now a tiger that can't be tamed. I am independent, and will vote for what I think is best, and right now I could never support what Republicans are doing, whether it is voter suppression, lying, or continuing to to stay in power without actually trying to fix anything. I reject this thinking.

I don't get it. Texas just passed an anti-abortion law that basically says that women can't get an abortion after 6 weeks, when many women don't even realize they are pregnant, and people can sue people for assisting someone in any way to get an abortion. They say that every life is important. On the other hand, an abortion affects the unborn fetus and immediate family, and the governor is trying to enforce a ban of mask and vaccine mandates because of personal freedom that could save the lives of countless people. This is extreme hypocrisy.

Edit: At the same time Texans are now allowed to carry guns in the open with no permit or training.

Washington Post and the New York Times reporting that the Justice Department have said that Congress should receive Trump's tax records.

It's about time. Trump is a liar, and a fraud. His policies were atrocious. Nothing in politics is certain, but I am in favor of fixing what is wrong.
Me and my wife have just been through the medical system, yet again, and will probably lose my house because of a $7000 deductible. Pure socialism sucks, but so does pure capitalism. A balance of the two is better that each individually.

Yep

I read your posts, I disagree with you. The Arizona joke of an election audit found 180 questionable votes.
I don't mind conservative voices, but the spread of disinformation needs to be challenged.
