In 2012 we measured the hierarchical growth of structure using galaxy groups.
In 2020 we analytically solved for the nonlinear growth of structure & it matched the Carnegie-Spitzer-IMACS Survey data.
But there’re more important things to worry about now.

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Unfortunately, stories like this aren’t rare. We’ve had several similar situations in the geology world.
And I personally deal with it in most spheres I’m involved in .
We need to expect more from men and they need to learn to deal with their behavior.

Bsky hasn’t heard the story about the time that I was giving a virtual colloquium to the Aspen Center for Physics in September 2020 and Lawrence Krauss, Geoff Marcy, Christian Ott all attended as a group

This story of reproductive abuse/forced sterilization/hysterectomy is from 2020, & it's the same that the State performed countless times to Black & Native women, that Nazis did, so many eugenicists over time--
It wouldn't surprise if it's happening now, too.

A community of pedophiles and other abusers has been revealed - one that so many of us knew about because it touches so much of our nation - and if you asked most of us we'd say - Nothing will happen. No one will be held accountable. No victims or survivors will be protected.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.
