Alexander Unzicker shows how the Hubble cosmological redshift is a consequence of general relativity interactions between light and matter. It has nothing to do with expansion. I did a video about this last year. youtu.be/TGpjGVNVYEg?si=Y496…
The Philippines needs to invest in some drones like this for when the time comes. Actually their banca boats might work in a surprise attack.
Video of the day... Ukrainian drones sink a Russian military vessel worth USD 60 mln
The missile corvette Ivanovets was hit by several naval drones.
After the last one, she rolled over and quickly sank to the bottom of sea just as the Titanic did (final 3 seconds of the video)

The pro-terrorist antisemitic wing of the US congress is smaller than I imagined. Now if we can shrink the pro-Russia fascist wing of congress.
#Breaking: Congress Votes on Banning Hamas in the US: Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib opposed banning Hamas and other perpetrators of the October 7th Massacre from entering the United States, while Rep. @DeliaRamirezIL abstained from voting.
The remaining members of the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted yes, with a tally of 422-2-1.

China's excess manufacturing capacity will lead to worldwide deflation unless countries implement appropriate tariffs on all goods made in The Communist China.

To me the most important takeaway from these numbers is that both Republicans and Democrats are moving away from The US's perceived role as the world's police force and that is a good thing. The US is really deglobalizing.

Republicans won't be able to get the proposed border deal once Democrats control the House in 2025. Both sides have negotiated a good compromise and House Republicans should pass it while they can.
Senator James Lankford blasts his Republican colleagues who refused to support the bipartisan border security/Ukraine deal:
“It is interesting ― Republicans four months ago would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel and for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So we actually locked arms together and said, ‘We’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in law.’ And now it’s interesting, a few months later, when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential election year.’”

The fact that young men are becoming increasingly conservative is not a surprise. The right wing disinformation campaigns on social media that target male incels to turn them into right wing voting misogynists is working. But it doesn't help with relationships.

Singapore will undoubtedly get 10s of billions of dollars from Chinese visitors moving money out of China and 10s of thousands will try to stay under visa-free travel. China will lose more foreign reserves and more people in 2024.

As the US reaches full employment the country needs even more immigrants to fill next years 2.7 million jobs in addition to replacing retiring Boomers. The US needs 2-3 million new foreign workers a year plus their non-working family members.
2.7 million jobs were created last year — more than during any year under my predecessor.

Even more importantly in the short term is that the working age populations are falling in most upper and middle income countries. This limits consumption and related GDP growth as that consumption is not replaced by young people in growing poorer countries.
Laoman calculated China's GDP from 2008-2023. The GDP dropped in 2023 by -4.9% instead of the 5.2% claimed. The current GDP is only slightly more than the end of 2018. @mrbcyber @serpentza see his YouTube video in Chinese.
China officially lost 2.08 million in population but we now they undercounted COVID deaths and they likely over-reported births. And it is not clear to me if they take net emmigration into account. What do you think the real number is? 3 to 4 million?
Yi Fuxian noted how China’s total population fall in 2023 was equivalent to the US state of New Mexico. Yi pointed out how deaths in China in 2023 surpassed the total population of Sweden. scmp.com/economy/economic-in…

Even more interesting economically is that when China's population falls below 400 million before 2100 it's workforce will be around 150 million, and already much smaller than the US. The US workforce could pass China's in the 2080s.
Newsweek quotes me： newsweek.com/china-fertility… Fuxian Yi wrote that even if China stabilizes its birth rate at 1.0, its population will drop to under 400 million in 2100. Yi said the demographic sea change is also starting to affect China's approach to statecraft.
Since China copied everything they know about chemical processing from Europe and North America this is not the flex they think it is. China's only advantage is their willingness to pollute their environment.

Now there are 350,000 dead Russians per Ukraine. With a 1:1.5 dead to wounded ratio that would be 525,000 wounded. Then add a guesstimate of 125,000 POWs and deserters and that means 1 million Russians have now been combat utilized.
It is interesting that after the one child policy started the official Chinese data shows a baby boom in what are now 28-44 year olds. Is this baby boom real or fictitious? The 1990, 2000, and 2010 census showed births were over reported by 4 million a year or more.

#NewPaper published in ApJ Letters by @AAS_Publishing, reports a weird phenomenon: the evolution of radio sources precisely mimics a nonexpanding universe. Major results are in the plot. A thread explains it. Read it at: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
De Broglie realized photons have a series of quantum fluctuation dipoles in the center and an EM field of more quantum dipoles. They don't move relative to the aether rest frame.
